Acne consists of blockage of hair follicles and sebaceous glands in the skin, which ultimately leads to the development of pimples on the skin.
It can be found on different parts of a person's body, such as the face, neck, shoulders, arms, and upper back.
Acne can change a life as people may experience emotional and physical stress from it. Anxiety, low self-esteem, and lack of confidence deeply affect the lives of those who suffer from acne and acne scars.
Blackheads -
Blackheads, also known as “open comedones”, are tiny, dark spots on the skin. This type of acne is formed when a pore clogged by sebum and dead skin cells stays open.
Whiteheads -
Whiteheads, also known as “closed comedones” are similar to blackheads. They are small white bumps that appear just under the skin. This type of acne is formed when a pore clogged by sebum and dead skin cells is closed.
Nodular acne -
Nodular acne consists of red breakouts that are formed when the clogged pores endure irritation and grow larger.
Papules -
Papular acne consists of red bumps which are painful and sensitive. They are formed when the walls surrounding the pores break down from severe inflammation.
Pustules -
Pustules have the appearance of a red bump with a white or yellow top. Unlike papules, these bumps are filled with fluid that looks like pus.
Acne Cysts -
Acne cysts which are also known as nodulocystic acne, appear when the skin's pores become clogged by oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. These are the largest form of acne and are red or white and painful to the touch.
The main causes of acne are:
Genetics:
Parents having acne or a family history of acne could cause someone to have this skin condition.
Hormonal Changes:
Any changes in hormones cause glands to produce more oil than usual, which then causes the skin pores to get clogged up, allowing bacteria to grow.
Excessive facial expressions:
People who have a habit of touching their face a lot, such as frequent touching or rubbing, could result in acne because it increases oil production on the skin.
Stressful events:
These might include exams, moving house, family issues, etc., and can lead to acne.
Foods:
Eating a lot of sugar and fatty foods could lead to acne.
Cosmetics:
Using oily cosmetics could also result in breakouts due to excess oil on the face that could lead to acne.
There are many different acne scar treatments and choosing the right treatment for the individual is very important. The experienced professionals of Arra Aesthetics will first understand the particular skin type and type of acne of the patient. If it’s active acne, the patient will have to wait till it’s under control before going in for its scarring treatment. Then depending on the scarring, its duration, and its location, Dr. Vasant Gholave will recommend either a single treatment or a combination of treatments.
The use of laser devices is one of the most advanced techniques used to deal with acne.
The first thing to keep in mind is that laser devices are not used on active acne, they are only used when the inflammation has died down. On the other hand, laser treatment can be used on any part of the body that has acne, not just the face. Laser treatment for acne works on a molecular level, cleansing the skin and regulating sebum production. By the third day after the treatment, the acne will already have visibly reduced. Laser treatment for acne is painless and does not require any downtime, though it may take multiple sessions for the acne to be cleared up fully.
Arra Aesthetics also uses the groundbreaking technique involving RecoSMA Laser to reduce acne scars. Learn more about it here.
Advanced Skin Peel:
This is a chemical peeling treatment and is used for mild to moderate acne. It helps in improving the appearance of acne scars and blemishes, resulting in healthier-looking skin with a smoother texture. At Arra Aesthetics, the TCA Peel is an advanced treatment in which the peel penetrates down to the dermis level, providing exfoliation and improvement in skin texture. This is a relatively strong peel, which is used to reduce acne scarring, hyper-pigmentation, and stubborn discoloration.
The usual time for visible results is a week, during which the old skin is peeled and the new skin is remodeled, giving it a rejuvenated and smooth texture to the skin.
Microdermabrasion:
Micro means small or light and dermabrasion means mechanical or physical exfoliation. Microdermabrasion involves the use of tiny exfoliating crystals which are sprayed on the skin. Microdermabrasion is considered light because it only removes the uppermost dead skin layer. Removing the top layer of skin leads the body to quickly replace the lost skin cells with new, healthy ones. This non-invasive hence painless procedure stimulates blood flow, which can improve cell production, in turn improving skin’s elasticity and texture and giving good results for acne scar treatment.
Microneedling:
Microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT) and skin needling. It is a non-invasive procedure that stimulates new collagen production. Using micro-needles, tiny punctures induce collagen and elastin production, resulting in more youthful appearing skin. The release of these properties helps in repairing the texture and resiliency of the skin. The treatment can minimize pore size and improve skin quality and texture, plus helps to reduce the appearance of acne scars, stretch marks, and even fine lines.
