Venice, age 28 of Atlanta, GA

"I finally have my face back. I have been a patient of Dr. Lori Schaen for over a year. My problem was severe facial acne. I had the tiny pimples on my forehead that looked like the result of wearing hats while working out or irritation from bangs and face-touching hairstyles. I also had the bulbous zits on my cheeks, chin, nose and in between my eyebrows, creating a formidable third eye. It was both physically and mentally painful. I had never had acne this bad when I was a teenager.

After the initial visit, Dr. Lori Schaen assured me that my face would clear up if I followed her prescriptions and suggestions. I was prescribed an oral medication, along with a facial wash and topical treatment. I followed the instruction for the medication and I am proud to say that I feel beautiful.

I go out now without wearing make-up. My skin not only looks clear, but it also feels healthy. People now compliment my skin instead of my make-up. I am very happy with the exceptional results I have received by the care of my dermatologist, Lori Schaen."

C.A. age 25 of Conyers, GA

"I suffered with acne for about 10 years. I’ve read every book, did every diet, and went to every dermatologist in the city; however the battle with treating my acne seemed inevitable. In my desperate search for one last hope, I discovered Dr. Lori Schaen while browsing through Kudzu reviews. After about one month from my visit with Dr. Schaen, I already saw a BIG difference in my acne. In 6 months, my acne and scars were completely gone. Dr. Schaen knew which combination of products could heal my skin (especially African American skin which can be challenging to treat). I’ve always read reviews like these, but I NEVER thought one day I would write one. Thanks Dr. Lori, you changed my life!"

Christy, age 39 of Winston, GA

"After being misdiagnosed by a physician’s assistant at another dermatologist’s office and being prescribed medications that only worsened my condition, I sought help from Dr. Lori Schaen. After a thorough examination, she accurately diagnosed my condition as acne rosacea. Upon treatment with the medications she prescribed, I began to see great improvement almost immediately. I am very pleased with the results! I highly recommend Dr. Schaen!"

Phil, age 67 of Atlanta, GA

"You have helped bring about a tremendous improvement in my complexion over the past four months. Dr. Schaen attacks the cause of the dermatology problem and not just the symptoms. I had visited several dermatologists in recent months and received only a perfunctory treatment for my skin condition. Dr. Schaen identified the problem and prescribed medications which attack the underlying causes. Within a relatively short time my complexion has improved markedly and continues to improve.

I am fortunate to have found Dr. Schaen, and I wholeheartedly endorse her services."

Linda, age 61 of Sandy Springs, GA

"I am 61 years old and have had problem skin since my early teens. After seeking the help of several dermatologists and trying quite a few different solutions, Dr. Schaen has gotten my skin looking the best it ever has. I only wish I had found her and Accutane years ago."

Callan, age 16 of Dunwoody, GA

"I had gone to a couple of other dermatologists before I found a doctor who cleared up my skin completely, without even drying it out. Within a couple of visits, Dr. Schaen had my skin looking great, and it’s continued to be clear for months."

Leslie, age 30 of Cumming, GA

"Dr. Schaen was recommended to me by one of her patients. Before Dr. Schaen, I had seen several other dermatologists in Atlanta for help with my acne with little to no success. I really had nothing to lose, so I called and made and appointment. There are so many things that set Dr. Schaen apart from the other dermatologists I’ve seen. In the past, I’ve had to wait months, sometimes more than six, to get an appointment to see a new dermatologist. Second, at every visit, I’ve been asked to wash my face. No other dermatologist ever asked me to wash my face during my office visits, and considering make-up is often used to COVER acne, I realize now it is a no brainer!

I could go on (about Dr. Schaen), but the biggest difference is that she has helped me. I am now able to leave the house without wearing make-up and without being embarrassed about how my skin looks. That is something that I haven’t been able to do since I was twelve..."

Kimberlie, age 45 of Dunwoody, GA

"I became a patient of Dr. Schaen’s in May 2007. My main concern was my acne due to Rosacea. Right away, she understood my concerns and started trying difference combinations of cleansers, topicals and oral antibiotics. Her goal, like mine, was to find a solution with minimal dosages of antibiotics. Decent results were achieved, but my face was still not as clear as I wanted. At the beginning of 2008, she started my on a very low dose of Accutane. In addition, she had me apply Metrogel each morning after washing my face. Within a month or so, my face was clear! I appreciate Dr. Schaen’s diligence in finding what worked best for me and helping me to achieve the results that I wanted."

Sheryl, D.M.D., age 30 of Atlanta, GA

"As an adult acne sufferer, I spent over a year with dermatologists unsuccessfully treating my condition with trial-and-error methods. From rigid antibiotic courses to harsh topical medications, my skin remained broken out and irritated, while puzzled over why I wasn’t responding to their "guess in the dark" treatment. After my first visit with Dr. Lori Schaen, I knew immediately she was different. She restored my confidence by assuring me that my acne condition was treatable with a proper diagnosis. A thorough health exam and lab work-up allowed her to correctly diagnoses my condition and prescribe the appropriate medications from the start. Within three months, I was acne free and have maintained a beautiful complexion for over two years."

Cassandra, age 47 of Columbus, GA

"I had been battling acne since I was a freshman in high school. I used to have hundreds of pimples on my face and back along with dark blotches. There was not a smooth spot on my face or back. When I moved away from home to attend college in Albany, I began visiting different dermatologists and spent a lot of money on office visits, prescription topicals drugs and pills that did nothing to clear my face; however, they did eventually clear my back.

I was a 44 year old high school teacher from Columbus when I started my first treatment with Dr. Schaen in January 2005. I will never forget what she told me during my first visit. She said, "Give me six months and you will see an improvement in your skin." I said, "I can do better than that." "I’ll give you eternity if you can clear my face." Well, I must say that my face was cleared in one year. Not only did my face become smooth and spotless, the prescription pill called spironolactone helped me to lose 30 pounds, along with exercise and a change in eating habits. I have been receiving compliments from family, friends and co-workers about how great I look.

I’m now a 47 year old assistant principal sporting a fabulous new look!"
