Acne or Acne vulgaris as also known is a skin condition. It affects the areas of skin with the densest population of sebaceous follicles which includes our back, upper part of our chests and our faces. Pimples or blemishes even zits are other terms we used for acne.
What are the Causes of Acne?
There are four factors shown to cause acne which includes:
• Hyperactive oil glands: Hyperactive oil glands occur in periods of stress and puberty due to hormonal changes causing the pores to be enlarged.
• Skin pore blockage: The pores are blocked resulting to trapping of the oils in the skin pores.
• Normal flora of the skin activities: Oils are trapped under the skin and bacteria tends to grow there. As the bacteria releases chemicals, it alters the oil, which makes it even more irritating and results to inflammation of the skin.
• Inflammation: Inflammation is produced when the body is trying to get rid of a foreign substance or is fighting off infection. In the case of acne, the body is trying to get rid of the irritating compounds that the normal bacteria are releasing.
Treatment of Acne
We have seen numerous treatments for Acne. One that is gaining popularity these days is called Blue light acne therapy. Benefits
• Painless
• Less time for procedure
• No recovery time required
• UV rays-free light
• Usually, two 15-minute sessions per week in four weeks
• Effective in inflammatory acne
Blue Light Therapy is not a cure, instead, it is a way to significantly improve acne breakouts. Improve acne in just few sessions with Blue Light Therapy.
