What Is Acne?
Acne is a broad term referring to a skin condition that causes different blemishes on the skin. Generally speaking, it is typically caused by clogged pores, which are frequently caused by oily skin. As the body tries to remove dead skin cells, cells may become trapped and clog pores if there is an excess of oil. Other common triggers for acne include:
- Age
- Diet
- Hormones
- Medications
- Oily or greasy products on the skin
- Skin irritation or pressure
- Stress
Although most commonly occurring on the face, acne can manifest on nearly any area of the body. Each person experiences this skin condition differently, and the blemishes themselves may be:
- Blackheads
- Cysts
- Nodules
- Papules
- Pustules (pimples)
- Whiteheads
Dr. Trenkle and her qualified team and California are prepared to treat your unique skin and experiences.
How Could I Improve My Skin?
There are a variety of acne treatments available. In addition to a good skincare routine, topical solutions and oral medications may help treat the condition. Depending on the cause of the blemishes, making certain lifestyle factors may also help skin clear up.
In our California office, we proudly offer a few acne treatments. Bellafill® is an injectable treatment option specifically created to treat this pesky skin condition and the scars it may leave behind. Laser treatments with the excel V™ laser can also help clear skin of blemishes and scars.
When Should I Seek Professional Care?
If you feel like you have tried everything in the book, it may be time to visit one of our California offices. While many believe over-the-counter products can do the trick, skincare should not be treated as a one size fits all task.
To ensure you are getting the best treatment for your unique skin, Dr. Trenkle will:
- Comprehensively evaluate your skin
- Determine the cause or source of your acne
- Suggest methods to reduce and eliminate triggers to prevent breakouts
- Recommend and treat current breakouts for clearer skin
Dr. Trenkle is qualified dermatologist who can treat many skin tones and types as well as different intense skin conditions.
