What Is It
Understanding Acne & What Causes It
Acne is a common skin condition characterized by clogged hair follicles that can lead to pimples, blackheads, and cysts. It occurs due to excess oil production from sebaceous glands, accumulation of dead skin cells, and the presence of the bacteria Propionibacterium acnes, which causes inflammation. Hormonal changes, particularly during puberty and adulthood, can increase oil production, and genetic predisposition can make some individuals more vulnerable to acne.
Other contributing factors include tight clothing, certain cosmetics that clog pores, stress, specific medications like corticosteroids, and poor hygiene. Understanding these causes is vital for effective treatment and management. The entire process takes about 10–15 minutes, followed by personalized post-treatment care to ensure proper healing.
Hormonal Changes
Fluctuations during puberty, pregnancy, or stress can trigger breakouts.
Excess Oil Production
Overactive sebaceous glands contribute to clogged pores.
Bacteria
Trapped bacteria can cause inflammation and pus-filled pimples.
Diet & Lifestyle
Certain foods and habits may worsen acne in some individuals.
Genetics
A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing it.
