Learn More About Acne Treatment
Acne is notoriously difficult to treat, but with the right approach, signs and symptoms can be effectively managed so that patients can enjoy clearer skin. At Florida Dermatology Specialists, we offer a range of treatment services to help patients improve their acne.
Causes of Acne
There are a range of factors that can trigger and worsen acne, but the main cause of acne is skin pores blocked by oil, dead skin cells, and subsequent overgrowth of bacteria. These blockages are responsible for causing blackheads and pimples, which are the primary symptoms of acne. Acne breakouts most often occur on the face, neck, shoulders, back and chest. As there are many factors that contribute to acne breakouts, acne can be a difficult condition to manage. Fortunately, the condition is very treatable, and Florida Dermatology Specialists can help patients find the most effective treatment options.
Acne Treatments
Acne can be treated in many different ways, including both topical and at times systemic or oral treatment options. Acne treatments are generally intended to address the root cause of acne: blockages in the pores. This can be done by reducing bacteria, oils, and stickiness of skin cells responsible. Possible treatments include:
Furthermore, we may recommend additional treatments to manage acne scarring, which is often a result of moderate to severe acne symptoms. Treatments such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, and laser treatments can reduce acne scarring to improve skin tone and texture.
