Frequently Asked Questions


It depends on the treatment. Topical retinoids typically show improvement in 6–12 weeks. Oral antibiotics often work within 4–6 weeks. Accutane takes 4–6 months of treatment but can provide lasting clearance. We’ll set realistic timelines during your consultation so you know what to expect.
Accutane (isotretinoin) is FDA-approved and highly effective for severe or persistent acne. It’s not right for everyone, and our doctors never push it. If it’s appropriate for your case, we’ll walk you through the full process — including the iPLEDGE program, monitoring, and what to expect. Many of our patients say Accutane was life-changing.
Absolutely. Hormonal acne in adults — especially women — often responds better to hormonal therapies like spironolactone or low-dose birth control than to traditional acne medications. Dr. Berry specializes in this type of integrative approach and will assess whether hormonal factors are driving your breakouts.
Yes. We pride ourselves on accessibility. Same-day and next-day appointments are often available, and Saturday appointments are offered for patients who can’t come in during the week. Call us or book online to find the soonest slot.
