The Science of Clear Skin.
Acne is a clinical condition that requires experience and expertise. At Modern Dermatology, our South Tampa team moves beyond the surface to treat inflammation, bacteria, and hormonal triggers at their source.
Acne is a medical condition, not a hygiene flaw.
True acne formation happens deep within the sebaceous gland, where bacterial overgrowth and dermal inflammation create a self-sustaining cycle. Over-the-counter products often fail because they lack the clinical strength to penetrate the follicle. Our goal is long-term remission, not a temporary mask.
Registered iPLEDGE Providers.
For severe or resistant cystic acne, Isotretinoin (Accutane) remains the most effective treatment. We are board-certified specialists and registered iPLEDGE providers, managing every step of the laboratory monitoring and clinical oversight to ensure safety and long-term clearance.
What we treat.
Hormonal Acne
Primarily affecting the jawline in adult women, we utilize regulators like Spironolactone to stop the cycle at the glandular level.
Severe Cystic
Deep, painful nodules that damage dermal collagen. We utilize aggressive intervention to prevent lifelong textural scarring.
Teenage Acne
Driven by excess oil production during puberty. We focus on early control to preserve skin health during these critical years.
