Acne and Acne Scars

What Is Acne and Acne Scars?

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. It’s most common among teenagers but can affect adults as well. While acne itself can be frustrating, the scars it leaves behind can feel even more difficult to address. Acne scars are typically caused by inflammation during breakouts that leads to tissue damage. Fortunately, advanced treatments are available that can both treat active acne and reduce the appearance of scars, leaving you with smooth, clear skin.
