I’ve been in brief contact with Dr. Neal, from MidCity Medical which is a clinic in New York that is committed to treating acne. You heard it, it’s a clinic especially for acne sufferers. This makes me really happy to know that clinics like this are popping up, and hopefully MidCity Medical will be able to expand its clinics globally.
The videos from the clinic are absolutely amazing. And it’s all without oral medications! This one I was watching today actually made me cry because it’s a story that I’ve now heard over and over again from myself, my readers and on acne forums.
This one made me teary too because it seemed to give so much *hope* to chronic acne sufferers. Okay, I get teary really easily!!!
And here is another video of a patient which shows the before and after. Wait for the after shot, she looks AMAZING!
In my contact with Dr. Neal, he hasn’t given too much away as to what the treatments involve, but it does say there are no oral medications which is great. It appears as though the treatment is holistic, which is awesome. There may be some use of topical medications, but if it works this well and there are no oral medications I’m all for it.
If you’re in New York, then lucky you! you can give the clinic a call. If you’re a past or present patient I’d also love to hear from you. Here is the link to the clinic.
I’m moving to Canada in May and will be making a few trips to the US and New York so I’m going to organise a visit to the clinic. It will be great when the clinics products and information kits are available world wide.
There are a ton of YouTube videos which show the before and afters. Click here to take a look … Just get your box of tissues ready if you’re as emotional as me

Do you have any idea about what is in the products that he’s using? A 6 week program seems to good to be true to me. I’m wondering how something like that could work if a person is dealing with hormonal acne? I would think the endocrine system would need to be balanced first and then the breakouts would stop.
I have been taking Maca, primrose oil and other EFA’s consistently for about 3 weeks now and am noticing a big difference. I am sticking with my face care products because they seem to be helping as well but am definately planning on giving the OCM a try when I’m finished them. I am seeing results so I think I will stick with my routine but seeing the results from these people in New York makes me think there’s something I’m missing. I want their clear skin!
Hi Carrie, I totally agree. I thought *wow*, 6 weeks, that’s amazing, and without the use of oral medications. This is why I plan on visiting the clinic when I’m over there hopefully some time this year.
I don’t know what products they’re using, but they will be made available for purchase online soon. It sounds like you’ll also be able to communicate with the clinic with some kind of distance program. I’m looking forward to that being made available. I think they also diagnose each patient individually, so they get to the actual casue of the symptom (acne). And then work on fixing the problem. It also sounded like from that video that what food you eat is involved a little bit too.
I’m going to keep checking and I’ll post on my blog if I find out more.
By the way, that’s really great that your noticing a difference with your skin. If everything is working, then definitely stick with it. Good idea about holding off on the OCM too, I’m a true believer in if it’s working then don’t vary it
I’d love to hear your maca story too. I’ve decided to take it again, but just between my cycle (as in when I don’t have PMT) because the only time I had a bad reaction to it was when I had PMT.
Hi there Fran!
Its been a lil while since i wrote about my experience on Benzoyl peroxide in your maca post.
Anyway…just wanted to update that my skin is better now when i use oils and stuff like that. Yes…its a bit more oily…but i dont care. As long as it looks healthy, luminous and with less acne…its ok
I have PCOS, and im a bodybuilder. Which equals to that watch very carefully my diet, i workout a lot, every single thing i eat…is low glycemic index or low glycemix load. Im a veggie junkie, and omega 3, 6 and 9 addict. But…apparently my hormones WONT stay stable. My gynecologist told me that probably never my hormones will be stable. And this makes a super hard task to be a bodybuilder, because i have to work like 10 times harder to achieve the same results of a person that has their hormonal levels stable.
Probably to lot of people the diet and exercise will help, but in my case, it doesnt.
And my acne…is 100% hormonal. Thats for sure. Why else would i get acnee in the back and sides of my neck while the skin is dry there? Bah…
Well…back to the comment for this treatment…he says its holistic, right? probably it must be some topical creams, and maybe some supplements? Im quite interested, but i live in spain…so going to NY for my acne is not really a thing i would do LOL.
I love love love your blog. If you dont mind, i would like to contribute
(im a aromatherapist, phytotherapist, nutrition specialist, personal trainer, and im studying a degree in molecular science). 
Sooo, i would love love love to contribute.
BTW: i found something that works wonders for me, i dont know if for others it works, but it makes my skin sooo smooth and bump-free, plus my pores are now almost invisible: 10% glycolic acid and 2% Lactic acid. Here we have it in a cream blend named Boreade 12. I apply it once per day, it doesnt dry out the skin (i use other stuff too, ofcourse). Its an AHA combination. I just LOOOOOVE it.
N.
Wow! A body builder, that’s awesome, and also great that your skin is better.
Low GI diets are so good for skin. That’s too bad that balancing your hormones is really difficult. I guess that’s one of the symptoms of PCOS. Have you seen the PCOS and acne message boards? There are a few around.
I’m definitely going to look into Boreade 12. It sounds great, I’m on the lookout for something that will help my pores
Wow, that program seems like a miracle. But I live in Toronto, and I don’t know if i’ll be able to go to New York. Do you know if the products are going to be available in Canada anytime soon? And are there ANY side effects to that program?
Hi Renee, I’m actually talking to Dr Neil about his products now, I’ll let you know when I found out more
