Acne & Acne Scarring

Acne is one of the most common skin concerns. 

Acne is one of the most common skin concerns that almost everyone has experienced in their lifetime. While acne typically develops during a person’s teen years, it can affect people of all ages. Many associate acne with puberty; and while it is one of the leading causes of acne, other factors such as stress, diet, medication, beauty products and environmental pollution are all major contributors to developing acne, especially later in life.

What types of acne are there?

There are several forms of acne, The first that pop into everyone’s mind are whiteheads and blackheads. However, other forms such as cystic acne, which is the most severe type, categorised by deep, inflamed and painful blemishes is also quite common. In severe cases or if left untreated, scarring can occur in the form of darker patches of pigment on the skin or deeper pitted scarring.

How can acne be treated?

Like many other skin conditions, acne not only affects you physically but can also harm you mentally as well especially if it has left scarring. It can strip you of your confidence and self-esteem. In many cases, this may lead to an attempt to cover the acne with makeup and other beauty products which can make the condition worse.

For some, a basic skincare routine may be enough to clear it up, but for many, it simply isn’t enough. Luckily there are more targeted treatments that can help. Treatments such as microdermabrasion, chemical peels and skin needling are effective in the fight against acne, especially when they are used in conjunction with skincare products such as Dermaviduals PlutioDerm, Dermaviduals Suusmoon lotions and Cosmedix’s Clarity skin-clarifying serum.
