What
Causes Acne
There
are many myths about what causes Acne flare ups, but no
one single cause is to blame. Acne is influenced by several
factors, many of which are out of your control. Stress,
bad cosmetics, hormones and birth control pills are common
contributors to acne breakouts. Many individuals are under
the misconception that eating certain foods can cause
or worsen their acne condition. Rather, general diets
high in fat oils, and sugars often lead to skin conditions
like acne.
Adult
Acne
Acne affects
a number of people including teenagers and adults up to
40 years of age. The American Academy of Dermatology reports
80 percent of adults between the ages of 20 and 30 suffer
from mild to moderate acne. Over half of all women, regardless
of age, suffer from some form of acne.
Adult
onset acne most commonly affects women as hormonal changes
often occur during ovulation and menstruation, pregnancy,
perimenopause, and menopause. 60-70% of women who battle
with acne experience premenstrual flare-ups.
Acne
appears in various forms along the face, back, neck &
chest
•
whitehead - small, white lump in the skin.
• blackhead - small, black lump in the skin.
• pustule - pus-filled, dome-shaped bump

Dr.
David Michelson
223 East Thousand Oaks Boulevard, Suite 211
Thousand Oaks, CA 91360
(805) 495-6411
Dr.
David Michelson
of Thousand Oaks also uses laser treatments for Acne
& Acne Scarring. A laser acne treatment utilizes
a low-intensity laser light of a wavelength that is
absorbed by the water in the skin, producing heat in
the targeted area. A cooling spray protects the outer
skin layers, while the sebaceous gland is thermally
injured, resulting in a reduction of its sebum production.
This leads to fewer acne lesions on the skin, and is
noticeable shortly after the first treatment.
