What Is Acne?
Acne is a disease involving the sebaceous glands of the skin and it affects more than 80 percent of adolescents, and many adults.
How Does Acne Form?
During puberty and stress, and due to hormonal influences, our bodies produce large amounts of an oily substance called sebum. Sebum, when combined with excess skin debris, sticks together in our pores, causing them to become clogged. Without effective treatment, these clogged pores can become red, infected, swollen - and form unsightly pimples that can lead to scarring.
Treatment
Topical creams can work in combination with antibiotics and other treatments in our med spa to help you achieve the complexion you desire.
