Acne is a common problem for many people, not just during adolescence, but also in adulthood. Pimples, blackheads, and cysts on the skin can negatively affect a person both aesthetically and psychologically. To fight acne correctly, one must first understand its causes.
Why Does Acne Occur?
Acne is a skin condition that occurs as a result of clogged hair follicles and oil glands. Its main causes are:
- Excessive Oil Production (Sebum): The skin producing too much oil under the influence of hormones.
- Dead Skin Cells: Dead skin cells that cannot be shed from the skin surface clogging the pores.
- Bacteria: The proliferation of bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes in clogged pores.
- Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations during periods such as puberty, menstruation, and pregnancy.
A Professional Approach to Acne Treatment
Although there are many products on the market, moderate and severe acne definitely require a professional approach. In our salon, we apply protocols specially designed for acne-prone skin:
- Medical Skincare: Regular treatments with acne-drying and soothing products suitable for the skin type control the skin's oil balance and cleanse the pores.
- Chemical Peeling: Peels made with acids such as salicylic and glycolic acid both dry out existing pimples and prevent the formation of blemishes.
- HydraFacial: With its special heads, it deeply cleanses the skin without irritating it and removes the blockages that cause acne.
What Not to Do at Home
The most important rule in fighting acne is not to squeeze the pimples. Squeezing causes the infection to spread and leaves permanent scars. Also, trying to dry the skin with very harsh products can cause the skin to react by producing more oil. Be gentle with your skin and support it with the right products.
