Acne and Acne Scars
Reasons for acne?
The skin has tiny holes called pores that can become blocked by oil, dirt, bacteria, and dead skin cells. When this happens, it develops a pimple or zit. If this condition affects the skin frequently enough, it can cause acne.
Each pore of the skin is the opening to a follicle. The follicle is made up of two hairs and a sebaceous (oil) gland. Sebum (oil) is produced by the oil gland and travels up the hair to the skin. The sebum keeps the skin lubricated and soft.
One or more problems in this lubrication process can cause acne. It can occur when:
Too much oil is produced by your follicles. Dead skin cells accumulate in your pores. Bacteria build up in your pores.

- A chemical peel is a solution that is applied to the affected parts of the skin. On penetrating the skin, the solution destroys dead skin, unclogs pores, and makes way for new skin to regenerate. This helps acne blemishes and scars disappear. The laser also known as Photopneumatic therapy, this treatment combines an intense pulsed light laser with a gentle vacuum. It works by removing excess oil and dead skin cells from clogged pores. It is FDA-approved to treat blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples.
Microdermabrasion
- Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive, non-chemical procedure that combines suction with an exfoliation from tiny crystals to remove impurities and dead cells from the skin. Microdermabrasion for acne can be an effective treatment depending on how serious the condition is. This therapy has been proven very beneficial for mild acne, acne scars, and non-active acne areas.
