Acne

Acne develops when dead skin, bacteria, or outside oils enter the skin’s pore(s), creating a blockage that traps bacteria in the pore(s). This skin condition may form on areas other than the face, such as the buttocks, back, shoulders, and arms, and can be eradicated using painless medical intervention. Our top rated board certified dermatologist at Transformative Dermatology offers a range of cutting-edge acne treatments / medication in a state-of-the-art dermatology facility that serves the greater Nashville area. 

“Dr. Fichtel is amazing! She has treated both my daughters and I and we are always thrilled with the care we receive. She is brilliant and empathic, kind, and creative – she puts her patients first and this clearly shows in how they leave her office!” ~ Healthgrades

Acne is most commonly associated with the following symptoms:

  • Pimples
  • Tender skin 
  • Redness
  • Painful “bumps” localized under the skin (cystic acne)
  • Blackheads 

During the initial consultation with the top notch acne specialist dermatologist, the doctor will review your full medical history and evaluate your skin condition to determine the best course of acne treatment. The ultimate acne treatment plan will be fully customized to your unique skin. Many of the medical-grade acne treatments offered at the best in class Transformative Dermatology (conveniently located right outside of Nashville, TN) also treat uneven skin (hyperpigmentation). 

Please note: The top rated board certified dermatologist of Transformative Dermatology offers in-person and virtual consultations (from anywhere in the world). 

Medical strength chemical peels / medical facials

Medical grade chemical peels can help patients who suffer from inflamed breakouts, clogged pores, mild to deep scarring, and hyperpigmentation. The results of a chemical peel usually develops immediately and can last anywhere from a few months to a few years depending on its depth.

A superficial / light chemical peel (which we do offer, with zero downtime) may last a few months, while a deep chemical peel may last forever. Please inquire with the board certified cosmetic dermatologist to learn more about the chemical peels we offer at Transformative Dermatology (serving the greater Nashville area). 

Our clinical strength chemical peel…

  • Removes dead / damaged skin cells
  • Unclogs resistive congestion that accumulates in the pores
  • Hydrates, detoxifies and nourishes the skin

Cutera® Laser technology

Our top notch cosmetic dermatologists offer the state-of-the-art Cutera® Genesis Laser to eradicate bacteria that causes acne, diminish redness, and treat early signs of scarring. This is achieved through controlled heat that penetrates deep levels of the skin. The Cutera® Laser is able to effectively and safely penetrate deep levels of the skin (known as the “cellular level”) to weaken overactive glands that can lead to easily clogged pores. Your board certified cosmetic dermatologist uses the Cutera® Laser to kill acne-causing bacteria and promote long-term acne prevention.
