Understanding Adult Acne: Causes and Prevention Tips

Could those blemishes really be acne? As an adult, it can be frustrating to encounter that familiar red bump, a common sight in our teen years. Surprisingly, a significant percentage of adults still experience acne, even well into their 50s. Dealing with acne as an adult can be especially aggravating. Treatments that once effectively cleared up acne during our teenage years may now prove ineffective or even exacerbate the condition.   Reasons for adult acne                                                                                          Adult acne, often referred to as post-adolescent acne, happens after the age of 25. Dermatologists term this occurrence as "adult-onset acne," which notably affects women undergoing menopause more frequently than men. If you find yourself grappling with acne in adulthood, it's probable that one or more of the subsequent factors are contributing to its onset. Hormonal fluctuation As women age, hormonal fluctuations can trigger acne. The natural decrease in estrogen levels combined with a rise in male hormones can upset the delicate equilibrium, causing an increase in oil production and enlarge pore. Some women experiencing acne along the jawline may uncover a potential underlying issue [...]

Acne 101: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

When you have a facial blemish, it can feel like everyone notices. If you struggle with acne, a specialist like the Laser Skin Care Center team can help you control it and avoid hard-to-treat acne scars. A targeted treatment plan can help you achieve clear, healthy skin.  What Causes Acne? Many factors contribute to the development of acne. This condition occurs when sebaceous glands in your skin overproduce oil. This oil can combine with dead skin cells and other debris to clog your pores. This blockage can also trap bacteria, allowing them to multiply and cause inflammation. Acne is strongly associated with hormonal changes such as puberty and pregnancy. However, many other factors can cause acne to last into adulthood.

What are My Acne Treatment Options?

If you find yourself constantly battling breakouts, you’re not alone. Acne is commonly associated with the teenage years, but many adults also struggle with it. Our expert team of dermatologists at Laser Skin Care Center offers several effective treatment options to help you finally achieve clear skin. What Causes Acne? Acne occurs when your hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. The oil produced by your skin, known as sebum, is essential for keeping your skin moisturized. However, when it combines with dead skin cells, it can block pores and create an ideal environment for the growth of bacteria.  Hormones, particularly androgens, play a significant role in acne development as they stimulate sebum production in the skin. Hormonal changes during puberty, pregnancy, and menstruation can trigger acne outbreaks. Other factors that can contribute to acne include genetics, certain medications, and environmental factors like pollution and humidity. Additionally, some skincare products that contain pore-clogging ingredients can worsen acne. View More Patient Results *Individual results may vary How [...]
