Acne & Acne Scars

What Is Acne & Acne Scars?

Acne is a common skin condition that develops when clogged pores, bacteria, or excess oil trigger breakouts. While it may seem temporary, acne often leaves a lasting impact in the form of scars—pitted or raised marks, discoloration, or uneven texture. These scars result from the skin’s natural healing process, which doesn’t always restore its smooth, flawless appearance. Though acne and its scars can impact self-confidence, innovative treatments offer effective solutions to rejuvenate and restore your skin.

What Are the Causes of Acne & Acne Scars?

  • Excess Oil Production: Overactive sebaceous glands can clog pores and lead to breakouts.
  • Bacteria: Acne-causing bacteria (P. acnes) thrive in clogged pores, causing inflammation.
  • Hormonal Fluctuations: Hormonal changes during puberty, menstruation, or stress can trigger acne.
  • Genetics: Family history plays a role in susceptibility to acne and scarring.
  • Improper Skincare: Using harsh products or not cleansing effectively can worsen breakouts.
  • Picking or Popping Pimples: Damaging the skin during breakouts increases the risk of scars.
