What Is Acne?
Acne is a common skin condition that refers to a variety of types of blemishes. It is often caused by clogged pores, which can be a result of concerns such as oily skin. While it mostly occurs on the face, it can be present on a variety of other areas on the body.
Acne is a very broad term, and it can refer to blemishes such as:
- Blackheads
- Cysts
- Nodules
- Papules
- Pustules
- Whiteheads
The type of acne treatment you could benefit from will vary based on the acne you are experiencing. A consultation with our team in New York can help you better understand your skin.
How Does Acne Treatment Work?
Just as there are multiple types of acne, there are multiple causes of acne, so there need to be different types of acne treatment. One of the primary causes of acne is a bacteria called P. acnes bacteria.
Laser and light treatments are particularly effective for destroying P. acnes bacteria. Not only does this mean this is a good acne treatment to help clear the skin, but it can help prevent future acne due to the reduction of the bacteria.
One of the benefits of seeing a dermatologist for an acne treatment allows you to possible be prescribed medications for your acne. Antibiotics can also be effective for treating P. acnes bacteria. There are a variety of topical and oral medications for acne, and they are usually recommended in extreme cases.
