What is Acne?
Acne is a condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells and oil from the skin. This can happen for a variety of reasons, including hormones, genetics, and certain medications. When the follicles become clogged, they can become inflamed and cause pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads to form on the skin.
What Causes Acne?
There are a number of factors that can contribute to the development of acne. These include:
Hormones
Hormonal fluctuations, such as those that occur during puberty or pregnancy, can trigger the overproduction of oil in the skin, which can lead to clogged pores and acne.

What treatment options do we have for acne?
There are many acne treatments available on the market today. Some of the most popular treatments include Smoothbeam, Hydrafacial, Black Diamond Laser, Scarlet RF, and Fraxel laser. Each of these acne treatments has its own unique benefits and drawbacks.
Smoothbeam is a popular acne treatment that uses a laser to target the oil glands in the skin. This acne treatment can help to reduce the size of the oil glands and improve the appearance of acne.
Hydrafacial is another popular acne treatment that uses a special device to add hydration, provide a deep cleaning, exfoliate, and remove dead skin cells. This acne treatment can help to unclog pores and reduce the number of breakouts.
Black Diamond Laser is another great acne treatment. First, we apply a thin layer of carbon lotion onto your skin and let it sit for about 15 minutes. The laser breaks down the carbon layer on the skin which unclogs pores, exfoliates skin, and helps reduce excess oil production. This treatment leaves your skin glowing!
Scarlet RF is a microneedling with radiofrequency treatment. This treatment is great for reducing the appearance of acne scars. It’s also great for skin tightening as well as improving skin texture and tone!
Fraxel is a resurfacing laser that is great for treating acne scars. This treatment stimulates new collagen production to improve overall skin texture and tone!
