Acne Reduction

Acne is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that causes spots and pimples, especially on the face, shoulders, back, neck, chest, and upper arms. Common types of pimples include whiteheads, blackheads and cysts, all of which respond to different treatment strategies.

Acne occurs when sebaceous (oil) glands attached to the hair follicles are stimulated at the time of puberty or due to other hormonal changes. Sebum (oil) is a natural substance that lubricates and protects the skin. Acne occurs when pores get clogged Acne is most common in teenagers aged 12 to 17. However, acne can affect people of all ages, making it quite common in adults as well. A genetic link can make some people more susceptible, but other common outbreak triggers include anxiety, stress, lack of hygiene and hormonal changes (during a woman’s menstrual cycle, for example).

Clearer skin can be achieved with each treatment. Within weeks, reduced redness, breakouts, and acne marks may also be seen. Results can vary on an individual basis, but we’ll use the latest technology and research in acne treatment to find a solution that works for you. The longevity of results is dependent on factors such as diet, lifestyle, and skincare. Sunscreen is highly recommended to prolong the treatment’s results. We recommend an acne treatment plan along with Forever Clear BBL treatment.

Acne scars are usually the result of inflamed blemishes caused by skin pores engorged with excess oil, dead skin cells and bacteria. The pore swells, causing a break in the follicle wall. Shallow lesions are usually minor and heal quickly. Even though your acne may be gone, you are sometimes left with an unpleasant reminder on your skin in the form of a scar. Acne scars can be just as damaging to the self-esteem as the pimples that caused them. We want to make sure you’re happy with your appearance so we also offer treatment options to help reduce scarring.
