Acne
About
Acne is a widespread skin disorder that occurs when hair follicles become obstructed by dead skin cells and excess sebum, which is the natural skin oil that prevents the skin from drying out.
Consequently, the epidermal layer of the skin develops acne, blackheads, whiteheads, and cysts. Teens and young adults are more prone to acne, but hormonal changes can also affect adults in their 40s and early 50s.
Various dietary and stress-related lifestyle factors, hormonal fluctuations, and genetic predispositions can induce acne too.
Process
Treatment options for acne differ according to the severity of the condition. For the treatment of moderate acne, topical medications such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and retinoids are the most frequently used. These help to unclog the pores and reduce irritation.
The most difficult part is identifying a combination that is suitable for your skin type which will produce long-lasting results.
The arrival of the ProXN line of skin care products offers hope for all acne sufferers as it is scientifically formulated to deliver the best results, without compromise. ProXN aims to support the health of your skin, with anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and brightening effects.
When acne is more severe, it may be necessary to consider the use of prescription medications. Treatment options include hormonal therapies, topical or oral antibiotics, and isotretinoin. Oral isotretinoin is a strong drug for treating serious acne, but it comes with its own side effects; therefore, Dr Mittal would only suggest it if she thought it is necessary.
It is possible to prevent acne scarring by managing acne at a mild to moderate stage before it progresses to a severe stage.
After assessing your lifestyle and skin condition, Dr Mittal will develop an individualised treatment regimen for you to have acne-free skin.
