ACNE
Acne is a common skin condition characterised by the formation of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads, categorised by being inflamed (red, sore & deep pustules + papules) or non-inflamed (open + closed comedones) due to dysfunction of the hair follicle.
At Skin Studio, we understand the multifaceted nature of acne and offer personalised solutions to identify your specific triggers and develop a tailored treatment plan for clearer, healthier skin.
Triggers
Hormones
hormonal conditions & dysregulations can stimulate sebum production.
Hyperkeratinisation
hyperkeratinisation is when your skin cells don't shed properly, leading to a buildup of dead skin cells that can clog pores and contribute to acne.
Medications
certain medications can change the mechanism of the skin, leading to excess sebum production.
Increased Sebum Production
increased sebum (oil) production creates an oily environment within the pores, making it easier for dead skin cells to stick together and form blockages, which then can trap bacteria and lead to acne.
PH Imbalance
when the pH is disrupted, it can weaken the skin's protective barrier, making it more susceptible to bacteria and inflammation, both key factors in acne.
Inflammation
when bacteria thrives within the skin, this triggers an immune response. This leads to inflammation, causing redness, swelling, and pain associated with various acne lesions like pimples, papules, pustules, and cysts.
