What is Acne?
There are different types of acne, including :
Non-inflammatory acne: Characterized by blackheads and whiteheads, which are small, non-inflammatory lesions that develop when pores become clogged with oil and dead skin cells.
Inflammatory acne : This type of acne involves red, swollen, and sometimes painful pimples, papules, pustules, nodules, or cysts. Inflammatory acne occurs when bacteria infect the blocked pores, leading to inflammation and infection.

Causes of Acne
Overproduction of oil (sebum) by the sebaceous glands.
Buildup of dead skin cells, leading to the blocking of hair follicles.
Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) bacteria can contribute to inflammation and acne development.
Changes in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstruation, or pregnancy, can trigger acne.
Treatment options for Acne
Chemical Peels
A chemical peel involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin, promoting exfoliation and peeling. This process helps remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and stimulate the growth of new skin.

Laser Therapy
Laser therapy utilises concentrated beams of light to target specific skin concerns. In the context of acne, lasers can be used to destroy acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote collagen production.

Extraction of Cysts
The extraction of cysts is a manual procedure performed by dermatologists to address large or persistent cystic acne lesions. During the procedure, a dermatologist carefully opens and drains the cyst, relieving pain and preventing scarring.
