What is Acne?
Acne is a condition involving the sebaceous oil glands of the skin. These oil glands help the skin retain its natural moisture, but an overproduction of oil causes bacteria to build up, resulting in acne, which includes whiteheads, blackheads, and cystic acne.
An acne scar forms from the trauma to the skin from the acne lesion and presents as a patch of skin that grows over acne lesions. Acne scars are often thick and pink or red, and they can be either raised or depressed.
Causes of Acne
There are multiple causes of acne, but experts believe the primary reason is a rise in androgen hormone levels. Androgen levels rise during adolescence, making teenagers especially prone to acne. Acne can also be caused by medications, a diet high in sugar and hormone-laden meat, cosmetics containing pore-clogging oils, poor skin hygiene, and hormonal changes.
Not everyone gets acne scars, but many people with acne have some scarring. The cause of scarring is often the result of trauma caused by repeatedly “picking” acne, and family genetics is more likely in those individuals with severe cases.
Benefits ofAcne and Oily Skin Treatment
Professional acne and oily skin treatments do more than address surface-level concerns. They can:
- Reduce the appearance of acne scars through resurfacing techniques.
- Control excessive oil production, helping to prevent future breakouts.
- Improve skin texture by reducing inflammation and smoothing uneven areas.
- Restore confidence by giving you clearer, healthier-looking skin.
Choosing the right acne and oily skin treatment can have a lasting impact on both your skin’s health and your self-esteem.
