Teen & Adult Acne
Acne is characterised in the teenage years by the overproduction of sebum (the skin’s natural lubrication) and skin cells. The hormonal fluctuations of puberty are responsible for creating this state of affairs. The result is that dead skin cells and sebum become stuck in the hair follicles and pores, and this blockage leads to the development of comedones (blackheads), papules, pustules, cysts, and nodules. There are varying stages of acne, which are based on the type and concentration of acne lesions present on the skin. Teenage acne can occur over the entire face as well as the chest, shoulders, and back.
Adult acne is also associated with hormonal fluctuations in conjunction with emotional and/or physical stress. It tends to occur on the chin, cheeks, and jawline and may affect the body (chest, shoulders, and back), as well. There tends to be less sebum production associated with adult acne; however, the sebum that is produced tends to be stickier. This sticky quality traps dead skin cells in the follicles, causing comedones, pustules, and papules.

Acne treatments at The Cosmetic Surgery Clinic may include oral and topical medication, in-office treatments with gentle pulsed light-based technology, SilkPeel® microdermabrasion, and medical-grade skin care to complement and reinforce your professional treatments.
