Acne: Symptoms, Causes and Treatments
Discover effective solutions for managing acne and achieving clearer, healthier skin. At Elevate Medical Aesthetics, we offer personalised treatments to target acne at its root and restore your confidence.
What is Acne?
Acne is a common skin condition characterised by pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and sometimes deeper cysts or nodules. While a regular skincare routine is essential for maintaining overall skin health, acne often requires a more targeted approach.
At Elevate Medical Aesthetics, we specialise in effective acne treatments to help improve skin health, reduce symptoms, and boost your confidence. Our expert team offers personalised treatment plans, including HydroFacials, chemical peels, and prescription acne medications.
Symptoms of Acne
There are many different types of acne, and symptoms and severity can vary greatly between people. Typical symptoms include:
Pimples, blackheads or whiteheads
Deeper cysts or nodules
Skin inflammation and redness
Enlarged, open pores
Potential for acne scarring
Causes of Acne
Acne occurs due to the clogging and inflammation of hair follicles and their oil-producing glands. Contributing factors include:
Excess oil production
Hormonal changes
Stress and diet
Bacterial growth
Clogged pores
Genetics and skin inflammation
Large, open pores often accompany acne-prone skin, exacerbated by increased oil production and skin laxity. Acne severity can range from mild to severe, with the potential for lasting scarring.
