Acne Treatments

Acne is one of the most prevalent skin disorders in the United States, affecting nearly everyone at some time. It is also one of the most frequent reasons patients come to see an esthetician or dermatologist. Acne is often thought of to be something that just happens during adolescence, but it can occur at any age.

Acne occurs when your skin is clogged with too much oil and dead skin cells, causing inflammation. Certain bacteria can also contribute to acne. These changes can cause whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, or cysts. Acne most commonly affects the face, forehead, chest, upper back, and shoulders. Exposure to certain drugs and industrial chemicals might contribute to acne. Another risk factor for acne is taking certain medications. Acne can be worsened by hormones and stress. Certain diets that are high in sugar may exacerbate acne for some individuals.
