Acne
What is a Acne
Acne can have a big impact on your life, which is why we take acne treatment very seriously and use aggressive treatment plans when necessary. Our staff is passionate about treating acne to prevent the emotional and physical scars that can last a lifetime.
Acne affects both men and women, teenagers and adults—all of whom can have different reasons for their condition. If left untreated, acne often causes scarring and discoloration, impacts self-esteem, and can even be disfiguring.
What Causes Acne?
Blackheads
A blackhead (technically called an open comedo) occurs when a plug of oil and skin cells blocks a hair follicle opening. The pore is open, so the oil is exposed to air, causing it to turn dark. The oil is oxidized, just like a banana or apple might turn brown when left out in the air.
The primary symptom of blackheads is dark, black-looking plugs in the hair follicles of the skin. Blackheads usually form on the forehead, nose, and chin, but they can also appear on the back, chest, shoulders, ears, and arms.
Whiteheads
A whitehead (closed comedo) or whitehead is a white bump that forms on the surface of the skin. A whitehead comes from the same basic pore blockage as a blackhead, but the pore is closed so the oil and skin cells so it shows up as a white bump rather than an open blackhead.
