Acne Treatment

WHAT is Acne?

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It often manifests as pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and sometimes cysts or nodules, primarily affecting the face, neck, back, chest, and shoulders. While acne is most prevalent among teenagers, it can affect people of all ages. It can cause significant emotional distress and, if left untreated, can lead to permanent scarring.

Our team of dermatologists and skincare specialists at Sheen Clinics are dedicated to providing effective and individualized acne treatments. By understanding the underlying causes and unique characteristics of your acne, we can develop a comprehensive treatment plan to achieve clear, healthy skin and restore your confidence.

TYPES OF ACNE

1
Comedonal Acne:
This type includes blackheads and whiteheads. Blackheads (open comedones) are pores clogged with excess oil and dead skin cells that remain open, while whiteheads (closed comedones) are similar clogs that close up, creating a white bump.
2
Inflammatory Acne
This type includes papules and pustules. Papules are small, red, tender bumps, while pustules are similar but contain pus at their tips.
2
Nodular and Cystic Acne
These are severe forms of acne characterized by large, painful lumps beneath the skin's surface. Nodules are solid, while cysts are filled with pus. Both can cause scarring.

Causes of Acne

Excess Oil Production

Overactive sebaceous glands produce too much oil (sebum), which can mix with dead skin cells and clog hair follicles.

Dead Skin Cells

When dead skin cells do not shed properly, they can accumulate and mix with sebum, leading to clogged pores.

Bacteria

The bacterium Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) naturally lives on the skin. When pores become clogged, these bacteria can multiply, causing inflammation and pimples.

Hormonal Changes

Hormones, particularly androgens, can increase sebum production. This is why acne is common during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and in conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Diet

Certain foods, such as those high in sugar and dairy, may trigger or worsen acne in some individuals.

Genetics

A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.

Treatment of Acne

We offer comprehensive acne treatments tailored to the specific needs and skin types of our patients. Our approach includes:

  • Topical Treatments: These include retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, and antibiotics, which help reduce oil production, fight bacterial infection, and promote cell turnover to prevent clogged pores.
  • Oral Medications: For more severe cases, we may prescribe oral antibiotics, hormonal therapies (such as birth control pills or anti-androgens), or isotretinoin (a powerful vitamin A derivative).
  • Chemical Peels: Chemical peels use acids to exfoliate the skin, remove dead skin cells, and reduce the appearance of acne scars.
  • Laser and Light Therapy: These treatments target the deeper layers of skin without damaging the surface. They help reduce oil production, kill acne-causing bacteria, and improve the appearance of acne scars.
  • Customized Skincare Products: We offer personalized skincare solutions, including cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreens formulated for acne-prone skin to maintain clear and healthy skin.
  • Extraction Procedures: For certain types of acne, such as blackheads and whiteheads, professional extraction may be performed to clear clogged pores.
