Face & Body Acne

Acne is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages and skintypes. It is characterized by the appearance of pimples, blackheads, andwhiteheads on the face, neck, chest, and back. These breakouts occur when the pores of the skin become blocked or congested. This can happen when dead skin cells, sebum (an oily substance produced by the sebaceous glands), and p.acnes bacteria (a type of bacteria that lives on the skin) build up inside the pores.

Contributing Factors To Acne
Several factors can contribute to the development of acne. One of the most common causes is an overproduction of sebum by the sebaceous glands, which can happen because of hormonal changes during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause. Other factors contributing to dark skin acne in include stress, certain medications, and certain cosmetics or skincare products. Excess sebum and dead skin cells can clog the pores, and acne-causing bacteria can lead to inflammation and persistent breakouts.Acne is a complex problem, so it needs to be handled from multiple angles. Our medical providers carefully examine your facial skin, discuss your goals and concerns, and understand the root cause of your acne breakouts before curating a personalized treatment plan.

Discover the Six Primary Forms of Acne:

• Blackheads: These are small black or yellowish bumps, not due to dirt but rather pigmentation from the hair follicle’s inner lining.

• Whiteheads: Similar to blackheads but sometimes firmer and more stubborn.

• Papules: Small, tender, and occasionally sore red bumps.

• Pustules: Resembling papules but featuring a white center caused by pus buildup.

• Nodules: These are large, painful lumps that develop beneath the skin’s surface.

• Cysts: The most severe form of acne, these are pus-filled lumps that can lead to permanent scarring.

How We Tackle Acne At Novalee Clinic

• Medical Grade Skincare: Medical-grade skincare products are specially formulated to address specific skin concerns, such as acne. Medical-grade products are typically more potent than over-the-counter products. They contain a higher concentration of active ingredients scientifically proven to be effective in treating acne, so they address the root cause of acne breakouts rather than just the symptoms. Our medical providers carefully evaluate your skin conditions and curate a personalized skincare regimen to help you achieve smooth, acne-free skin.

• Microneedling: Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that involves using a specialized device with extremely fine needles to puncture the skin’s uppermost layers. The micro-injuries activate your body’s innate healing processes without damaging your skin. Over time, your body produces new skin cells to replace the damaged skin and stimulates collagen production. As your skin heals, it produces collagen and elastin fibers to repair the damage and fill in the acne scars, leading to a smoother and more even complexion.
