Contact UsWhat Is Acne?
Acne is among the most common skin conditions in the U.S., impacting around 60 million people every year. While many cases are mild, several patients have it so severely that scarring can happen. Acne normally is a blend of pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, and small cysts, as well as itchy, red, and swollen areas of the skin. Caused by a mix of clogged pores, dead skin cells, and bacteria, it is most often seen in teenagers but can affect adults well into their 40s. Acne most commonly shows up on the face, chest, and back. To regain a healthier, luminous look, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Calvin Williams at Essential Dermatology Group in Bedford, TX offers numerous treatment options, ranging from in-office procedures to custom at-home cleansing methods and prescription medications.
How Do You Treat Acne?
Certain research shows that store-bought medications do not treat acne efficiently. Dr. Williams provides many treatment options to manage acne and clear its symptoms. For milder cases of acne, prescription drugs like topical creams and cleansers that contain salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, and retinoids might be effective. Additionally, there are oral antibiotics, such as minocycline, doxycycline, or tetracycline that are available. Along with topical and oral medications, laser therapies have also proven to be effective. Not only can laser treatment help cleanse and kill dead skin cells beneath the dermal layer, but it can also reduce redness, scars, and other pigmentation issues linked with acne. Chemical peels and extractions can also help based on the sort of acne you are dealing with.
Acne Reviews
I been seeing Dr. Calvin for 6 months, and my acne cleared in 3 months. He did in 3 months what other dermatologists couldn't get close to doing in years. He is very knowledgeable, & actually cares.. Thank you, sir.
I have nothing but positive things to say about Dr. Williams! I came in to the clinic with a five month history of unexplained acne. Dr. Williams prescribed a regimen for me, and within two months, my acne improved by > 90%. I love the fact that he keeps in mind patient preferences when prescribing a treatment regimen (e.g cost, adherence, side effects to previous medications). Another positive is that I’ve never been kept waiting at the clinic and I’m usually seen within 5 minutes of my appointment time. This makes scheduling my day around appointments seamless. I wholeheartedly recommend This Essential Dermatology Group!
I’ve been going to Dr. Williams for a couple of years now and he is nothing but great! I was diagnosed with seborrheic dermatitis a few years ago and previous dermatologists could not help me, but Dr. Williams prescribed me the right products that cured my flaking and itching. He also has helped me with my acne. Thank you Dr. Williams.

We have been seeing Dr. Calvin for over 3 years. He is knowledgeable, friendly, personable, and passionate about his practice. He was the only dermatologist who was able to prescribe me the right medication in order to clear my acne. I am forty years old and do not have to wear makeup any longer to cover up blemishes. He is amazing and I would recommend anyone who has been struggling with skin issues to see Dr. Calvin! You will not be disappointed!
