Acne

Treatment Solutions

Main causes of acne:

Hormonal Acne is common in adolescence and is typically accompanied by an overproduction of sebum. Cyclical breakouts are often seen in females in the perioral area, and hormonal acne may prevent itself at any stage in life when hormones fluctuate (e.g. pregnancy, introduction of oral contraceptives, menopause).

Bacterial Acne may be the result of an over-production of bacteria within the follicle/pore. P.acnes is the bacteria responsible for acne. It is anaerobic (cannot live in the presence of oxygen) and flourishes in warm, humid environments. Topical oxygen sources, such as benzoyl peroxide, help to control bacteria distribution and proliferation.
