Acne is the term used for inflamed pores (blackhead or whitehead), nodules or even cysts that occur on face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and the upper part of arms. Though not a dangerous disease, it can be annoying. In those with severe acne, it may cause permanent marks.
Dermis offers clinically proven acne treatments.
Results that will let you enjoy your special moments carefree.
Acne has many causes, among them, hormones, bacteria, stress, and cosmetics and skin care products.
Acne is common in young adults, teens and pre-teens and may cause emotional and self-esteem problems. In severe cases, medical treatment may be needed. There are many over-the-counter products that can help treat acne.
Acne is caused by inflammation of the oily glands in the skin - they are called sebaceous glands - that contain a fatty material called sebum. When the duct of the gland becomes blocked either by layers of skin, fatty secretions or dirt, a mini-cyst or pimple forms. The cyst can become infected with acne bacteria.
Just as acne can range from mild to severe, acne treatments also vary, depending on how serious the problem is. The basic treatment is to remove what is plugging the duct of the gland and, if necessary, kill the acne bacteria. This is done either by applying a product to the skin , by taking medication internally, or by undergoing a cosmetic procedure to help clear the skin and physically remove the bacteria causing the acne.
