Acne and
Acne Scars
Acne is one of the world’s most common skin
conditions, affecting adolescents and adults. It is a widespread and upsetting
condition which can produce lifelong physical and emotional scarring.
Acne is NOT caused by bad diet or greasy foods. In
fact, acne develops when the sebaceous glands in a person's skin produces
excess oil (sebum). This oil combines with cells that line the gland walls and
clogs the skin’s pores. Normal skin bacteria colonize these pores and the
body’s response causes the inflammation or reddening of the skin that we
associate with acne.
There is considerable variation in types
and degrees of acne scars but the emotional turmoil this condition causes is
shared by all. Scars may be flat or depressed and red, white or normal skin
color. They may be fairly well localized or generalized. They may look worse
due to volume loss under the skin from aging, and may be recent or old. All of these factors help us to recommend the best
type of treatment for your specific needs.
Dr Tanne and her
professional staff of skin care specialists offer an array of services and
products for the treatment of acne-prone and acne scarred skin, in both
adolescents and adults. Treatments are individualized depending upon
the type of acne and its severity.
