Acne is an extremely common skin condition typically caused by clogged pores. This may be due to a presence of too much oil, P. acnes bacteria, or dead skin cells. When there is an excess of any of these items, a shallow lesion may be formed and break the follicle wall. Your body should naturally be able to heal and repair itself, but if it is unable to, this can result in acne scarring.
Acne scarring is largely caused by your body not being able to heal itself. When trying to heal a scar, your body’s natural collagen and elastin production processes are activated. Collagen and elastin fibers are essential to providing structure to your skin. However, these natural processes may be underperforming, and processes stimulating collagen production can help reduce the appearance of acne scars.

There are a variety of prescriptions or laser treatments that can help even skin tone and texture. These treatments can also help enhance your natural beauty by brightening your skin!
