How Does Acne Treatment Work?
Just as there are multiple types of acne, there are multiple causes of acne, so there need to be different types of acne treatment. One of the primary causes of acne is a bacteria called P. acnes bacteria.
Laser and light treatments are particularly effective for destroying P. acnes bacteria. Not only does this mean this is a good acne treatment to help clear the skin, but it can help prevent future acne due to the reduction of the bacteria.
One of the benefits of seeing a dermatologist for an acne treatment allows you to possible be prescribed medications for your acne. Antibiotics can also be effective for treating P. acnes bacteria. There are a variety of topical and oral medications for acne, and they are usually recommended in extreme cases.

What Causes Acne Scarring?
Acne is an extremely common skin condition typically caused by clogged pores. This may be due to a presence of too much oil, P. acnes bacteria, or dead skin cells. When there is an excess of any of these items, a shallow lesion may be formed and break the follicle wall. Your body should naturally be able to heal and repair itself, but if it is unable to, this can result in acne scarring.
How Is Acne Scarring Treated?
Acne scarring is largely caused by your body not being able to heal itself. When trying to heal a scar, your body’s natural collagen and elastin production processes are activated. Collagen and elastin fibers are essential to providing structure to your skin. However, these natural processes may be underperforming, and processes stimulating collagen production can help reduce the appearance of acne scars.
There is not a one-size-fits-all treatment option for acne scarring. With the help of our team, you can better understand the needs of your skin. There are a variety of prescriptions or laser treatments that can help even skin tone and texture. These treatments can also help enhance your natural beauty by brightening your skin!
