I had acne as a teenager but never as aggressive...

I had acne as a teenager but never as aggressive and difficult to treat as an adult.
 
Out of nowhere I broke up with severe acne that gave me red swollen lumps and bumps in addition to white heads and black heads. I tried to clean the acne with my fingers or acne removers sold on the internet but either made it worst (that used to work as a teenager)
 
I obviously treated myself with the over the counter acne medication that worked for me in the past, but it didn't work this time.
Since my acne got worst every day I tried literally everything without any success. Neither Clean & Clear, Neutrogena, CVS or Walgreens brand acne medication worked at all. I even used Proactive and Proactive X and nothing worked!
 
I also did consultations with dermatologist who recommended their creams and oral antibiotics. Guess what, nothing worked!
I was so frustrated. My acne was so bad that I started to use heavy make up to cover it since I was so embarrassed with my face.
 
One day a friend recommended me to go to Dr. Mesa for acne Managenent. I told her how come a plastic surgeon us going to cure my severe difficult to treat acne. She told me that Dr. Mesa cured the acne of one of her friend's daughters that had similar problem. I decided to give it a chance.
 
Dr. Mesa is a great doctor. His bedside manners left me impressed. He is very nice, polite, educated and knowledgeable. Dr. Mesa explained in detail how acne develops and how the treatments targets each one the causes of it. None of the other doctors explained anything to me.
 
I was recommended to treat with Obagi creams modified for acne as per Dr. Mesa protocol. In the first week I started to see an improvement of my acne. By the first month my face was 50% better. Now that I am done with the 12-week treatment my face is perfect: acne free! (See my picture!)
 
I am so happy with the result. Not only Dr. Mesa cleared my acne but also made my face skin better. All the dark spots I had because my breakups are gone. My friends and colleagues at work complement me often about my youthful clear skin.
 
I highly recommend Dr. Mesa for acne treatment. If anyone has difficult to treat acne as I did, Dr. Mesa is the doctor to go to get it definitely resolved.
