Let me tell you my story. I have suffered from acute dryness on the sole of my feet for nearly a decade now. During this time, particularly at the time of my yearly physical, and on other medical visits as well, I consulted with a handful of primary care physicians about my condition. Some recommend over the counter medications, while others did not appear to be really interested in treating my condition. I followed up on each of their recommendations, carefully, trying a variety of over the counter medications. None of the medications really worked for me. Finally, I decided to consult a well known dermatologist in the county associated with a university. This time the result was different in that condition actually got worse. I began to give up hope, assuming that this was a condition I would have to live with for the rest of my life. Then I heard about this Acne Center was the first care provider who asked me a series of questions about my activities which could affect the sole of my feet. She made recommendations on the temperature of the water for my showers, how to dry myself, what medication to use, how to use it, and how much to use. I saw the positive results of her recommendations in less than a week. I was so impressed, actually delighted, that I decided to post my story on the net to help others with similar condition. - Lydia J., 34 y.o., Huntington Beach, CA
When I was a teenage girl I had scars, indentations, and acne. I felt embarrassed that I kept my head held down, even as I've become a woman. So one day I decided to do something about it. Then while driving I saw the billboard out front. And I agreed on treatments. "Well, I know it only been my third laser, but I'm really happy with my results. "I recommend this Acne Center to everyone; cause they helped me in so many ways. For example; explaining how to care for my skin, and treating my acne. "And now I could walk with my head held high". - Thank you Doctor, Juana Bonilla, 22 y.o

The following is correct & true,
My name is Claudia Zamudio and I'm here today to get a facial. I happen to drive out 2 hours just to get here because it's worth it. The last time I came here was in Sept.2008, and had a facial from that facial I had really smooth skin and it was amazing how long my skin stayed cleaned. The only down fall is the location. The people in orange are lucky to have a center so close. I heard about this place thru a mutual friend he said I won't be let down and I wasn't. Another thing that made me happy was they are open late manly one places you go to close by 5pm. I love the result I had and can't wait for my new ones to emerge. - Claudia Zamudio
Good afternoon Doctor. I've just run into you personally to express my gratitude! D.J is so confident and is eager to take care of her skin, it makes me as a mother flutter. She, today has attended her family law class, and she now! Has expressed she can now proceed with her head held up high and is determined to help fix our system for struggling families (Like I was) ,cause she isn't ashamed to hold up her head any longer cause of her pigmentation. So I'm proud to say "Thank You" for giving a helping hand to people who know how to appreciate it to the heart! There is nothing as you know that any one person can express the intensity of wanting your children to "Succeed" in this unforgiving world. And she sees you as a great, positive, strong, caring women, and a role in her life to succeed, as you are doing! Once again, "Thank You", and "Many Blessing to You and Your Family". Dr. I will vouch for you any day!! So if you need me to express my thoughts in the radio as a mom, "I will!" - Nancy Sanchez
A few years back, my facial skin got damaged on my forehead and cheeks. The price I paid for many years of sun-bathing and not protecting my skin from the sun, or using sun-protection lotion. Once those dark pigmentation areas appeared, I looked so bad. I was using some different bleaching stuff from some stores…but they didn't help at all. In fact those sun damaged spots got even darker!
I came to your center for help. For those early months during treatment, to be honest, I was very depressed. Initially I could see no results, no improvement and I got very frustrated. They told me that there is no quick-fix for my case; it takes time to repair the damaged areas and build up new skin tissues. She also told me that I needed to be patient. So, I cooperated with their Treatments and began using their products daily.
Today, I am so happy! My skin is 90% better and I feel so confident being in public. Also, I have my self-esteem back and it is so wonderful. Just the thought of how I used to look scares me….from today I would never abuse my skin, I try to do the right things. I also realize that maintaining and having a beautiful skin is an important part of personal health.
I would recommend that you come to this Family Acne Center if you are experiencing skin problem issues. They can help treat the skin problems you have and restore your beautiful skin.
Thank you for being there for me! - Kien Lam
Dear Doctors,
I just wanted to take some time out to write you a thank you letter. Honestly, you have no idea how much this means to me. I will finally be able to tell myself that I am beautiful and agree with those who tell me I'm beautiful. For so long I thought that my face was going to be like this forever. But I finally see that with your help, my face, my skin will be perfect again. I won't have to worry about spending the night at one of my friends house because they will see me without make-up, won't have to worry about going into the pool, or beach during the summer time because of being scared that my make-up will come off by the water and everyone will see my skin. I will finally be able to relax and feel comfortable with myself. Thank you so much Doctors with lots of love. - Aallas
For starters, my name is Dejanay Sollas. Since the 9th grade I have had acne and so so many dark spot on my face. I've tried so many face products that it just made my skin so much more worse than it already was! I finally decided after 2 and a half years to try something new and that was this Acne Center. I have been doing extractions for about a month and 2 weeks. I have been so happy lately because I see all the change in my skin from their products and hard work. I usually use tons and tons of make up in the morning and now I don't have to. I just dab it on and go! Before I came to see them I never wanted to go to school without make up, go outside without make up, not even spend the night at my friends house because I was afraid they would see all the ugly on my face. Now I don't care if I don't have make up and go outside. I want people to see the marks on my face, and let them see now it is improving and clearing up every single day. I hope that everyone who reads this will decided to take a chance to help yourself because you won't regret it. - Dejanay Sollas, Age 17
During my teenage and college years, I was fortunate to not have a severe acne problem. I would get pimples, which would run its course and scar minimally. I also had freckles, which I wanted to get rid of. I decided to see a dermatologist. This is when I was first introduced to the Obagi Skin Care line, which included a face was, skin toner, and a bleaching cream. The products seem to work, however, it became costly to maintain as a college student.
After I stopped using the Obagi products, I noticed that I was experiencing more pimples and my freckle seemed darker than before. I went to my physician and obtained several prescriptions for Retin A and T-Stat, which help initially control the acne, but made my face feel sore and appear reddened. Eventually I stopped using those products and just focused on using make-up to cover up the blemishes.
Recently in my mid thirties, I decided to do something about my skin problems. I admit that the Proactiv infomercials got me. So I decided to buy their products and continued to use them for about a year. When I became tired of not seeing any results, I decided to go back to the Obagi Skin Care system. Once again, I experienced quick results, but this time I noticed that my skin felt sore and became reddened as a result. I thought this was normal in order for the product to really work.
A year ago, I finally got fed up with the poor results of these products. One day I asked on of my student's mother what she did to have such nice skin. She told me that she did not always have good skin until she started going to this Family Acne Center. I asked her more questions and if she was satisfied with them. She showed me a picture of her face taken a year ago and I was shocked to see such a difference. I could hardly believe that she ever had bad skin before. So I decided to go to go to them myself and began my transformation.
I appreciate how the Doctors take the time to always explain the whole treatment process with me. I also liked how they were honest with me upfront and told me that the changes would occur gradually. It has been a year since I first came to see them and I have noticed that my face feels softer without any soreness or redness. I also noticed that I no longer get those hard painful pimples anymore. The thing that I am most happy with is that I also noticed that my previous acne scars and freckles are gradually fading. I did not realize until I started using the Apogée products, that the other products I used to use( like Obagi and Proactiv), had chemicals in them that caused my skin to become so sensitive that when I scarred, the scars would appear darker than usual. I am truly satisfied with my results and believe that I am on my way to attaining beautiful skin. - Liza Delatorre, Hawthorne CA, 37 years old
