Acne Treatment

Understanding Acne

Acne is a common skin condition affecting individuals of all ages and backgrounds. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, developing pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Effective acne treatment begins with a clear understanding of the condition.

Types of Acne:

1. Whiteheads and Blackheads: Whiteheads are closed comedones, while blackheads are open comedones. They result from clogged hair follicles and can be effectively treated with topical treatments and proper skincare.
2. Papules and Pustules: These are red, inflamed bumps on the skin’s surface. Treatment often involves topical medications or oral antibiotics to reduce inflammation and prevent infection.
3. Cysts and Nodules: Cysts and nodules are deeper, painful, and often lead to scarring. Treatment may involve stronger oral medications and, in severe cases, drainage or corticosteroid injections.

Understanding Acne Scars

Acne scars can be a lasting reminder of past acne struggles. They come in different forms, and each type requires a unique approach for effective treatment.

Types of Acne Scars:

1. Ice Pick Scars: These are deep, narrow scars resembling small, V-shaped holes. Microneedling is often recommended for ice-pick scars.
2. Boxcar Scars: Boxcar scars are wider depressions with defined edges. Fractional laser therapy is effective for improving the appearance of boxcar scars.
3. Rolling Scars: Rolling scars create a wave-like appearance on the skin’s surface. A combination of microneedling and laser therapy can be effective for rolling scars.
4. Hypertrophic Scars: These scars are raised and may appear red or discoloured. Laser therapy, particularly pulsed dye lasers, can help reduce redness and flatten hypertrophic scars.

• Microneedling: Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and improving the texture of ice pick and rolling scars.
