The Advanced Acne Institute is different than other acne treatment practices.  At the Advanced Acne Institute we target inflammation.  The newest research into the causes of acne show that acne is primarily an inflammatory condition.  This supports what we’ve been doing all along.   The dermatologists at the Advanced Acne Institute have been treating acne in just this way.  We’ve focused on targeting the inflammation behind breakouts.  In fact, we’ve developed a treatment system that we call “Acne Anti-Inflammatory Therapy” or “AAI therapy”.  The principle behind AAI therapy is to calm and prevent the inflammation associated with acne.  We’re different than most acne practices because we avoid the use of harsh topical therapies and other irritating treatments that only cause more dryness and irritation which just makes acne worse rather than better.
