What causes acne?
Acne is one of the most common skin concerns. It mostly occurs during teenage years and early twenties, although it can happen later in life. Acne isn’t just pimples. It can manifest as whiteheads, blackheads, excessive oil, and more severe symptoms like cysts and nodules.
Are you wondering why you have acne? Here could be the causes.
- Clogged pores: Oil, dirt, and dead skin cells can plug hair follicles, creating an environment where pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads form.
- Excessive oil production: Your skin naturally produces oil to stay hydrated and protected. However, when these sebaceous glands produce excessive oil, it can clog pores and trap impurities, leading to breakouts.
- Harmful bacteria: The bacteria, P. acnes, live on the skin. When it’s trapped in clogged pores, it multiplies, causing inflammation, redness, and pus-filled pimples.
Several factors, including genetics, stress, hormonal imbalances, and certain medications can trigger acne. Physical irritation and oil-based cosmetics may also aggravate acne breakouts.
How is acne treated?
You may have heard misconceptions like poor hygiene and makeup cause acne or that acne only affects teenagers. Unfortunately, these myths and others can hinder many people from seeking treatment. Don’t let unfounded myths hold you back. Achieve acne-free skin with the following treatments.
- Chemical peels: Your Huntington dermatologist uses special solutions to exfoliate the skin’s top layer. This unclogs pores, reducing active acne. It also stimulates new skin growth to fade scars and dark spots.
- Laser treatment: This treatment uses light energy to vaporize acne-scarred skin, revealing the radiant skin underneath. Laser energy can also target acne-causing bacteria and boost collagen for firmer, clearer skin.
- Microdermabrasion: This treatment gently polishes or “sands away” the outer skin layer using tiny crystals or a diamond tip. This treatment improves mild scars and promotes cell turnover.
- Injectable treatments: Juvederm or Belotero Balance injections can improve the appearance of acne scars, particularly those that are deep, pitted, or depressed. Treatment is quick, non-invasive, and doesn’t need downtime. Results last 6–12 months (sometimes longer).
Don’t let acne or associated scarring prevent you from showing off your best skin. Visit a dermatologist near you for tailored treatment. You’ll enjoy a glowing, more refined complexion that looks like you.
