Acne Scarring Management
Acne scars are usually the result of inflamed blemishes caused by skin pores engorged with excess oil, dead skin cells and bacteria. The pore swells, causing a break in the follicle wall. Shallow lesions are usually minor and heal quickly.
What is acne?
Acne is a devastating disease affecting teenagers and adults. 80% of teenagers have some form of acne and 20% develop severe scars that may permanently affect their lives. It is caused by a build up of dead skin cells and natural oil that stick together and block the pores. The acne bacteria feed off this mixture which then becomes inflamed. Acne comes in two basic types and varies in severity from individual to individual.
- An inflamed condition normally associated with soreness, redness, swelling, pus formation, etc.
- A non-inflamed condition usually accompanied with whiteheads or blackheads.
- All acne treatments are bespoke to the individual's needs depending on what grade of acne is presented

Since the blackhead is formed below the surface of the skin, it cannot be affected by surface cleansing products. Only products that are specifically designed to penetrate into the follicle and loosen the impactions will be successful in clearing up an acne condition.
