Acne
A skin disorder that can destroy both the complexion and one’s self-confidence

While acne is usually associated with adolescence, many adults suffer from this irritating skin ailment and seek out treatment from a cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist. Acne doesn’t just appear on the face; it also targets the arms, back, shoulders, buttocks, chest and neck. The raised legions can heal poorly, leaving debilitating scars and craters in their wake. Often the skin reacts with redness, swelling, soreness and inflammation, causing significant distress and interrupting the normal flow of life. The Refresh Med Spa offers acne treatment and acne scar removal in Refresh MedSpa & Aesthetics to combat and reverse the effects of this skin ailment.

How does acne form?

Rooted at the base of each facial hair follicle is an oil gland that produces the appropriate amount of secretion to keep the skin healthy and glowing. When these hair follicle roots become saturated with dirt, dead cells, debris or makeup, the oil builds up, creating a pimple. Sometimes these growths fill with bacteria, making their spread throughout the skin cells even worse. They may mushroom to become pustules, lesions, cysts or nodules.

How do acne scars form?

Many clients struggle with picking at their pimples. This sometimes leaves damaging scars, which are due to an excess of collagen being released by the body to compensate for a wound. Acne scars are quite troublesome because even after the pimples themselves have healed, they still leave a trail that can negatively affect the appearance.

What are some causes of acne?

There are several factors that contribute to acne, including overproduction of the androgen hormone during the teenage years, or a general change in the oil glands’ functioning. There is also the possibility that acne is genetic and is passed on through the generations.
