Acne is caused by oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria clogging pores, which can lead to inflammation. Left untreated, it can cause emotional distress and scarring. The document discusses three treatments for acne - chemical peels which exfoliate skin and reduce oil buildup, microdermabrasion which minimizes whiteheads and blackheads, and prescription skincare products to maintain results. It recommends seeing a dermatologist to identify the best customized treatment plan to achieve clear skin.

2. BYE PIMPLES AND HELLO
CLEAR SKIN!

3. There are tons of products out in the market that promise clear skin. However,
you have tried almost all of them, and nothing seems to work.
Acne is a dermatological condition caused by inflammation and mild infection in
clogged pores. If not properly treated, acne can cause emotional distress, low
self-esteem, and sometimes depression. In severe cases, it can lead to
permanent scarring. If acne has been a persistent problem that affects you and
your self-esteem, our Skin Doctors can help.

4. The four main reasons why you get acne are oil production, dead skin cells,
clogged pores, and bacteria. When hair follicles are clogged by oil or dead skin
cells, it can lead to acne. A plugged pore could cause the follicle’s wall to bulge,
leading to a whitehead, or it may also be congested by oil and bacteria, later on,
causing a blackhead. When these progress to an infection, it is now called a zit
or pimple.
Acne can be triggered or worsened by hormones, certain medications, stress,
and diet. It often appears on the face, neck, chest, shoulders, and back.
Here at Skin Doctors, there are three acne treatments work. Now, you can look
and feel better without the hassle of trying new products. These treatments are:

5. 1. Chemical Peel
A chemical peel strips away dead skin cells and exfoliates your skin using different
types of acid. It also drastically reduces the build-up of oil and help minimize acne
breakouts.
The most common types of acids used for a chemical peel are glycolic acid, alpha
hydroxy acid, salicylic acid, and beta hydroxy acid.
Whether you are treating an acne breakout or correcting an acne scarring, chemical
peels can penetrate different skin levels. Keep in mind that not all chemical peels
are effective in treating acne. It is the reason why you should go to a board-certified
dermatologist who understands your skin type, acne problem, and the best solution
to resolve it.

6. 2. Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is an effective treatment for mild acne breakouts. The
exfoliation treatment minimizes the appearance of whiteheads and blackheads,
creating a smoother look on the skin. It can also work to diminish shallow
scarring acne breakouts often left behind.

7. 3. Skincare Products
Once you have done chemical peel or microdermabrasion, or both, it is essential to
use high-quality skincare products that are prescribed by a board-certified
dermatologist. If you invest in professional acne treatments that are done in the
clinic and still use drugstore cleansers, it can be a vicious cycle of acne breakouts
all over again. For some people, over-the-counter products work, but it is a different
story for people with acne.
We suggest that you get a consultation with one of our Skin Doctors who are
experts in their field, to identify the right treatment your skin needs to achieve your
goal. Our doctors will tailor-fit your skin regimen to achieve a pimple-free skin the
shortest possible time. We have to remember that the longer the condition persist,
the more scarring results.
