Acne & Acne Scarring

Acne:

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It often results in the formation of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and, in more severe cases, cysts or nodules. Acne typically appears on the face, neck, chest, back, and shoulders.

​

Causes of Acne:

1. Excess Oil Production: Increased oil (sebum) production by the skin's oil glands.

2. Hair Follicle Clogging: Dead skin cells and excess oil clog hair follicles.

3. Bacteria: P. acnes bacteria can worsen inflammation in blocked follicles.

​

Acne Scarring:

Acne scarring can occur when severe acne lesions damage the skin and the body attempts to repair itself. Types of acne scars include:

1. Ice Pick Scars: Deep, narrow scars.

2. Boxcar Scars: Depressed areas with sharp edges.

3. Rolling Scars: Wavy or undulating skin.

​

​

Before undergoing any beauty treatment, it's essential to consult with a qualified skincare professional or dermatologist to determine the most suitable options based on your skin type and specific concerns. Additionally, maintaining a consistent at-home skincare routine with hydrating products is crucial for long-term skin health.

• Microneedling or Dermal-roller:

​

During microneedling, the device is gently rolled or pressed onto the skin's surface, creating tiny punctures. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin's natural healing process, prompting the production of collagen and elastin. Collagen is essential for skin elasticity, and increased production can lead to improved skin texture and a reduction in the appearance of scars.
