Acne is a common skin condition occurring when hair follicles under the skin become clogged with oil and dead skin cells.

These clogged pores can become irritated and inflamed causing tender red bumps under the skin. Although acne can affect any part of the body, it is most commonly found on the face, forehead, chest, and back. Acne can also affect both women and men of all ages.

Types of Acne:

• Whiteheads
• Blackheads
• Papules
• Pustules
• Nodules
• Cysts

The most common cause of acne is excessive oil production, leading to clogged hair follicles. Since hair follicles are connected to your oil glands, overproduction directly results in blockages. The pores then become congested with dead skin cells and bacteria causing a wide variety of skin irritations. Additional factors might be diet, hormone, or stress related.

Despite a wide variety of causes, acne prone skin can benefit greatly from many treatments offered at +Aesthetics.
