Acne and Acne Scars

Acne and the scars it may leave behind affect both appearance and self-confidence, making effective treatment essential for a healthy and clear skin.

What are Acne and Acne Scars?

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with sebum, dead cells, and bacteria.

It usually appears on the face, back, chest, and shoulders. Acne scars are the permanent marks that may remain on the skin after severe or improperly treated acne.
Acne affects people of all ages, from teenagers to adults. While teenage acne is often the result of hormonal changes, adult acne can be caused by various factors such as stress, hormonal imbalances, diet, and genetic predisposition. In both cases, acne can leave scars that require specialized treatment.
