Acne treatment

Causes of acne

The causes of acne are internal and external factors. Common ones include:

• Hormonal imbalance, including imbalance of female hormones.
• Poor nutrition (imbalance of fats, regular carbohydrates).
• Gastrointestinal tract disease (gastritis, dysbacteriosis, constipation).
• Hereditary predisposition.
• Frequent stress and decreased immunity.
• Improper skin care, use of inappropriate cosmetics.

Consequences of acne

Acne not only has long-term negative effects on the structure of the skin, but also causes noticeable aesthetic and psychological discomfort. The consequences of acne are cosmetic defects of the skin – post-acne. These include:

• Hyperkeratosis (excessive keratinization and thickening of the upper layer of the skin).
• Enlarged pores.
• Scars and marks on the skin.
• Uneven and hilly relief of the face.
• Stagnant spots and uneven complexion.

Special cosmetic procedures help fight acne and post-acne. It should be taken into account that with the help of aesthetic medicine methods it is impossible to completely get rid of scars and marks, but over time they are corrected and become less noticeable.
