Understanding Acne
Acne is a multifaceted skin condition that can manifest in various forms, each with its own characteristics and triggers:
Comedonal Acne
Characterized by the presence of comedones, such as blackheads and whiteheads, resulting from the accumulation of dead skin cells and excess oil within hair follicles.
Inflammatory Acne
Inflammatory acne involves red, swollen, and sometimes painful lesions, including papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. Inflammation is caused by bacteria, particularly Propionibacterium acnes, which thrive in clogged pores.
Hormonal Acne
Hormonal fluctuations, such as those experienced during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and peri/ menopause, can contribute to the development of acne. Hormonal acne typically presents as deep, cystic lesions along the jawline, chin, and lower cheeks.
All acne can be influenced by genetics, diet and lifestyle factors including high glycemic index foods, dairy products, food allergies, stress, and poor skincare habits.
Acne can have profound psychological effects, especially on teenagers, who may experience:
- Low Self-Esteem: Acne can negatively impact self-image and confidence, leading to feelings of self-consciousness and inadequacy.
- Anxiety and Depression: Persistent acne breakouts can cause significant emotional distress and contribute to anxiety and depression.
- Social Withdrawal: Teens may avoid social situations or activities due to concerns about their appearance, leading to isolation and loneliness.
Medspa Treatments for Active Acne and Acne Scars
In addition to these treatments, we offer:
- Prescription Medications: Our nurse practitioner can prescribe prescription medications when absolutely necessary, including customized topical medications to address severe or persistent acne breakouts.
- IV Vitamin Supplementation: IV vitamin therapy delivers essential nutrients including Zinc and Glutathione directly into the bloodstream, promoting overall skin health and vitality.
- Hormone Balancing: Our nurse practitioner is trained with a decade of experience in holistic assessments for hormone imbalances, including perimenopause, PCOS, and imbalanced hormone replacement therapy (HRT), to address underlying causes of acne.
