Acne develops when your hair follicles in the pores are blocked with dead cells and sebum. It leads to unwanted marks such as blackheads, and sometimes bigger spots filled with fluid.
The causes of acne may vary from person and age. The most common and noticed causes are listed below:
• Rise of testosterone hormone during puberty
• Mixing of sebum with dead cells in the skin
• Some specific medications like lithium & corticosteroids
• Transfer of hormones from mother to child
• Medical conditions like Cushing’s syndrome & polycystic ivory syndrome
• Increased oil production, bacteria, clogged skin pores & dead skin cells
• Periods & pregnancy in women
It occurs on the face, neck, shoulders, chest and back. There are various kinds of acne having different symptoms. Some of these are:
• Closed pores called whiteheads
• Open pores called blackheads
• Pimples filled with pus at tips
• Red, tender & small papules
• Cystic lesions forming painful lumps filled with pus
Acne is a skin condition which is not contagious or infectious. It needs proper maintenance of your skin to avoid severe symptoms.
Absolutely! Professional treatments like microneedling, acne IPL therapy, LED light therapy, or our deep-cleansing facial can make a big difference in reducing acne, clearing pores, and improving skin texture (especially when paired with the right home care).
At Fiore Aesthetics, we offer a range of treatments designed to keep acne breakouts at bay. Two of our most popular options are the deep-cleansing facial and IPL therapy for acne. Our deep-cleansing facial effectively removes dirt, oil, and impurities, leaving your skin feeling clean and radiant. It is also gentle enough for regular use. Whereas IPL therapy destroys acne-causing bacteria and reduces inflammation, helping to clear the skin and thus prevent future breakouts.
Roughly 1 in 4 men and 1 in 2 women in the UK deal with acne at some point in adulthood, amounting to nearly 19 million adults.
Some of our treatments help combat acne and acne scarring, whilst others are designed to combat acne scarring alone (with great outcomes)! We are here to help you find the best solution for your skin needs and will always guide you in the treatment direction we think is best for your immediate goals.
Most of the time, it is perfectly fine. However, it is important not to use the same active ingredients at the same time. Therefore, it is always best to ask your skincare expert to help you safely adjust your routine for effective and satisfactory results.
During your initial consultation with us, we will review your skin type and acne situation, and based on that, we will recommend the best course of treatments, customised to help you achieve clearer skin and beautiful results.
