Acne

Acne is an inflammatory skin condition characterized by eruptions around hair follicles. Acne is most common in teenagers, yet many adults struggle with acne as well. The condition usually begins at puberty and may continue for many years, even a lifetime. Three out of four teenagers have acne to some extent, probably caused by hormonal changes that stimulate the sebaceous (oil producing) skin glands. Other causes of acne include menstrual periods, pregnancy, birth control pills, or stress.

Acne is caused when glands within the pores of the skin become plugged, because oil and skin cells accumulate faster than they can exit. The plug causes the hair follicle to bulge (whiteheads), and the top of the plug may appear dark (blackheads). If the plug causes the wall of the follicle to rupture, the oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria found normally on the surface of the skin can enter the skin and form small infected areas called pustules (also known as pimples). If these infected areas are deep in the skin, they may enlarge to form firm, painful, pus-filled cysts.

Acne commonly appears on the face and shoulders, but may extend to the trunk, arms and legs. At Rejuvenate! Med Spa we offer multiple, advanced treatments for acne removal… all tailored to your individual needs.
