Why do I still have acne as an adult?

Adult acne is common and can be influenced by hormones, stress, medications, genetics, skincare products, and other health factors. Our providers evaluate potential underlying causes to develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

How long does acne treatment take to work?

Every patient’s skin responds differently. While some people notice improvements within a few weeks, many treatments require several weeks or months to achieve their full effect. Consistency and following your personalized treatment plan are important for long-term success with acne treatment in Huntington, NY.

Can acne scars be treated?

Yes. Depending on the type and severity of your acne scars, treatments such as microneedling and PRP therapy may help improve skin texture and stimulate collagen production. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the most appropriate options based on your skin and aesthetic goals.

I came to Dr. Ocasio at North Shore Headache and Spine struggling with constant headaches that nothing seemed to help. He recommended an occipital nerve block, and I’m so glad I trusted him.

The procedure was quick, and Dr. Ocasio explained everything in a way that made me feel comfortable and informed. He has such a calm, confident presence — you immediately know you’re in expert hands.

Within days of the injection, I felt a dramatic decrease in my headache pain. It was honestly life-changing. I finally have my energy and focus back.

If you're suffering from chronic headaches or migraines, I can't recommend Dr. Ocasio enough. The occipital nerve block gave me real relief, and his care made the entire experience easy and positive!
