What is Acne

You are not alone if you have acne – In fact, acne is a common skin condition that affects millions in the world.

Acne happens when oil and dead skin cells clog hair follicles under skin, and inflammation caused by P Acne bacteria. Neck, face, chest, back and shoulders are commonly acne-infected areas. While acne can be a mild issue, severe acne can cause permanent scarring.

The Causes of Acne

The good news is, acne happens due to known reasons. These reasons are broadly classified into 6 categories: medication, hormonal change, lifestyle, diet, hygiene and genetics.

1. Medication

Medications such as anti-epileptics (carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital), anti-depression (lithium) and anti tuberculous ( ethionamide, isoniazid, rifampicin ) can cause and worsen acne, because they could affect the immune system, insulin activity and sebaceous gland of patients.

2. Hormonal Change

Hormonal fluctuation happens at different stages of life, eg, during puberty, starting of menstruation, starting of menopause or during pregnancy. Hormonal fluctuation can cause skin glands to produce more oil and hence aggravates acne situation.

3. Lifestyle

Sleeping late and high stress level cause cortisol hormone level to go up and eventually triggers skin glands to produce more oil. A lack of physical exercise may also contribute to high stress level.

4. Diet

“You are what you eat” – Eating a lot of high glycemic index food, eg. processed food, sugary snacks can trigger hormones that activate the skin glands to produce more oil. Sugar spike in blood leads to inflammation and eventually starts acne.

5. Hygiene

A patient can get acne if his or her sensitive skin is in contact with dirty items such as clothes or polluted air. Condition becomes worse with an absence of a proper skin cleaning regime.

6. Genetics

Your genes determine several vital things in your body, including your skin’s reaction to hormonal changes, your skin’s resistance to bacteria and inflammation as well as your allergies. Yes, you do have a higher risk of acne if your parents had it.

Types of Acne and Its Symptoms

Acne varies in appearance and severity; however, common types of acne can be classified as below:

Nodules

Nodules

Papules

Papules

Pustules

Pustules

1. Whitehead

Whiteheads are small, round, raised bumps. Whiteheads appear whitish or flesh-coloured. Their follicles remain closed, hence the contents inside are not oxidized.

2. Blackhead

The opposite of whiteheads, blackheads have open follicles, which means the contents inside are oxidized, hence giving the black spot appearance.

3. Comedones

Comedones is a term that includes whitehead and blackheads. Comedones are the starting of acne lesions. Comedones, if inflamed, can progress to nodules, papules, pustules and cysts.

4. Nodules

Nodules are inflamed acne lesions which are large, solid, and painful lumps deep in the skin. They can leave permanent scarring.

5. Papules and Pustules

Papules and pustules are inflamed acne lesions on the surface of skin. Papules are small, red and hard bumps on surface of skin. Pustules mimic papules with yellowish or whitish pus.

6. Cystic Nodules

Cystic nodules are inflamed acne lesions deep in the skin which are large, painful and filled with pus. They can leave permanent scarring.

7. Vulgaris Acne

Vulgaris acne is a combination of all the above.

Why Acne Need to be Treated Urgently

Acne is rarely life threatening, it could still leave you with lifelong, serious implications. In fact, the sooner you seek your treatment, the better will the result be.

Here are the reasons why you should seek prompt treatment for your acne problem.

1. Acne makes you look ugly

The truth is, on the first meeting, strangers mostly judge you based on your appearance. An acne-laden face will only minus your first impression’s marks.

2. Acne lowers your self-esteem

Some people with acne have low self-confidence and tend to avoid socializing around. In severe cases, people could also get depression, which lead to the thoughts of committing suicide.

3. Early treatment can prevent permanent scars

If you have cured your acne when it is less severe ( for example, undergoing treatment regime when whiteheads and blackheads start to appear), acne will not progress to a bigger area or develop cysts and nodules that can leave permanent scars.

4. Early treatment wards off more complicated and more expensive treatments

If you promptly stop acne from worsening, you also do not need more complicated and more expensive treatments.

5. Early treatment wards off future breakouts

Acne can start as early as 7 -12 years old, and could continue into 40 – 60 years old. With early treatment and good control, future acne breakouts are avoided. This means, you can enjoy many years being acne-free.

Treatments For Acne

Pizer Wave Laser

#1 Pizer Wave Laser

This method is one of the most advanced non-surgical, non-invasive laser skin treatment. By using ultra-short pulses of energy on acne scars or active acne areas, skin’s natural healing process is triggered by simulating production of collagen.

Chemical Peels

#2 Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are applied on face to remove the top layer of dull skin, hence revealing the smooth, healthier underneath skin. This method is customizable to cater to different skin tones and to tackle other skin problems as well.

Oxygen Treatment

#3 Oxygen Treatment

Oxygen treatment is double action treatment – 1) Oxygen kills acne-causing bacteria, hence less breakouts and inflammation; 2) Oxygen stimulates collagen production, hence skin has better healing and less scar.

E-Light

#4 E-Light

The E-Light technology combines IPL (intense pulsed light) with Radio Frequency (E-light = IPL + RF) to kill acne-causing bacteria, decrease oil production, lighten discoloration by acne, and reduce the depth of acne scars, lighten marks and refine pore size.

DC Signature Deep Cleansing

#5 DC Advance Acne Treatment

This treatment helps to clear up blocked pores by removing excess oil, dirt, acne debris and dead skin. This is followed by simulating blood circulation and enhancing oxygen flow to the skin, leaving your skin clean and feeling relaxed.
