The Science Behind Acne
Acne vulgaris is the most common skin disease. When hormone levels cause sebaceous glands to produce too much sebum, and it combines with dead skin cells, a plug will block the pore. Propionibacterium acne is a bacteria that invades this plugged follicle, contributing to even more acne. When the follicle weakens, it opens, releasing sebum, bacteria, skin, and white blood cells, causing inflammation of the tissue and redness. No one knows why some people have acne and not others. We take a multidimensional approach to treat acne, often combining treatments like chemical peels and professional skin care products to help get the condition under control.
