Acne & Acne Scarring Treatments

Acne begins with oily secretions emitted from skin oil glands, which then plugs up the tiny openings of the hair follicles. In the case of small openings, whiteheads may form, while in the case of large openings, blackheads are often the result. A breakout of red, inflamed acne can result from either a whitehead or blackhead.

Although acne and its scarring can be a major problem for teens and adults alike, its impact on your self-esteem is still significant. It can, in turn, have a negative impact on your social life and relationships. Due to the technology available today, acne and scarring are now treated very easily.

As a result, we understand the unique sensitivities of skin affected by active acne. As a result, we will help you deal with its negative effects so that you can regain your confidence. Often, uneven skin texture and colour are addressed after the majority of active acne has cleared up.

Acne is a common skin condition. Aside from being most commonly associated with puberty, acne breakouts can occur at any age, even in infancy. When women enter their menopausal years, hormonal fluctuations may make their skin more prone to acne. Even though acne is not a dangerous medical condition in most cases, it can be quite debilitating on a social and personal level. However, acne challenges may not end there. Acne sufferers often have difficulty keeping their acne under control as well as concealing acne scars that ensue from acne. Regardless of whether you manage your skin's clarity or outgrow your acne, these scars can be a constant reminder of past problems and undermine your self-confidence. However, you can treat your acne scars as effectively as your acne.

The options for treating acne and scarring are numerous if you are suffering from acne and scarring. Various effective treatments can treat mild to severe symptoms. Many of these treatments are available at Dr Saras & Co. The range of nonsurgical procedures we offer our patients is carefully selected to provide clear skin and a healthy, appealing complexion. In addition, we offer professional-grade skincare that can be used at home to complement your professional treatments. We can even help you stop dealing with residual scarring, that curse of acne sufferers that can linger long after breakouts are over.

Acne occurs when the pores of the skin become clogged with dead skin cells. The dead skin cells normally slough away from the surface of the skin, but inside the pores of the dermis that produces excessive amounts of oil known as sebum, the dead cells begin to stick together. A bacterium known as P. acnes can aggravate the problem, resulting in an inflamed pore. The bacteria may multiply, leading to a cyst or nodule forming.

Symptoms of acne may include the following:

- Whiteheads (clogged pores that remain closed)
- Blackheads (clogged pores that open, revealing the oil and bacteria)
- Papules (small red bumps that are visible signs of inflammation)
- Pimples (enlarged papules with pus inside)
- Nodules (painful, large lumps beneath the skin’s surface)
- Cystic Lesions (nodules that contain pus)

Although there is no clear reason why some people develop acne while others do not, several factors may increase your risk for acne or exacerbate acne that already exists. Hormonal fluctuations, medication side effects, and stress are all examples. Cysts and nodules that rupture naturally or are disturbed by skin picking will usually heal without leaving scars; this is a natural and inevitable part of the healing process. You may have significant scar tissue to deal with even after you have cleared your acne, which may require you to apply makeup or grow your beard constantly, even if you don't want to, in order to hide these visible signs.
