Acne affects more than 50% of the adult population and the first signs appear as early as age 25.
Often unsightly, acne creates skin inflammation, giving your skin a grainy appearance and creating marks that are often deep and difficult to cover up.
Atrophic scars or pigmentation spots can also appear after an acne outbreak. But aesthetic medicine can easily remedy them. But aesthetic medicine can easily remedy them.
Impurities, bacteria, and fatty secretions obstruct our sebaceous glands at the root of the hair and cause the appearance of pimples. Acne is an inflammatory disease linked to the sebaceous gland, responsible for the production of sebum, which if produced in excessive quantities (hormones, bacteria…) leads to the obstruction of the skin pores.
Acne is mainly located on the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) but can also be found on the cheeks and sometimes be accompanied by rosacea.
There are several types of acne: persistent acne that lasts since adolescence and late acne that appears in adulthood. Depending on its type, it is qualified as minor acne if only the pores of the skin are blocked by blackheads, moderate if there are red pimples with white heads and spots and severe if there are cysts.
There are many causes of acne, but most of the time it results from an overproduction of sebum due to hormonal imbalances often caused by menstrual cycles, the use of contraception, pregnancy, or menopause. A polluted environment can also aggravate cases of acne, whether it is due to smoking or air pollution.
Stress, which leads to an overproduction of cortisol, will also increase this risk to a lesser extent. A cosmetic routine that is not adapted to your skin type can also lead to acne.
Finally, diet plays an important role in acne breakouts. The scientific community agrees that there is a direct link between the foods we eat and the health of our skin. As a general rule, the more processed or refined the product, the more likely it is to cause skin breakouts. While on the other hand, fiber-rich foods can help lower blood sugar and reduce acne breakouts.
Some foods play a positive role on acne inflammation, such as omega-3 fatty acids found in certain oils, oily fish, or turmeric for example.
The earlier the treatment, as soon as the first skin lesions appear, the faster the effects will be.
Aesthetic medicine has a variety treatments to fight acne.

The details of the adapted care:
Peelings usually take place in 2 sessions and are very effective in cases of acne. This technique consists of regenerating the cells in the layers of the epidermis or dermis that have been altered over time. The reaction caused by the glycolic acid in the peel will regulate the excessive production of sebum and thus purify the dermis.To fight acne effectively, it is important to meet with a specialized doctor who, during a consultation, can determine the causes of the inflammation.
