Acne & Acne Scarring

Acne is a common skin condition of the face and body. Non-inflammatory acne may be caused by a variety of factors including cosmetics, diet, hormonal changes and environmental factors. Inflammatory acne is caused primarily by androgen sensitivity or excess androgens, which leads to dysfunction of the pilosebaceous unit in the skin.

These changes lead to increased oil production, abnormal cell turnover and increased inflammation. An overgrowth of cutibacterium acnes further exacerbates inflammation and worsens symptoms. In addition to acne lesions, you may also experience sensitivity, redness, dryness, pigmentation changes, persistent post-acne lesions and scarring.
