Understanding Acne
Acne is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages, from adolescents to adults. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with a combination of oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This blockage creates a breeding ground for Propionibacterium acnes, a type of bacteria that contributes to inflammation and the development of pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, and cysts. Acne is influenced by several factors, including hormonal fluctuations, genetics, and environmental triggers. Hormonal changes, particularly during puberty and in women, can increase oil production and lead to acne flare-ups.
Treatment Overview
Oak Dermatology provides comprehensive acne treatment tailored to individual needs. Our approach involves a combination of medical-grade skincare products, prescription medications, and advanced laser therapies. Topical treatments like retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, and salicylic acid help unclog pores and reduce inflammation. For more severe acne, oral antibiotics or hormonal treatments may be prescribed. Laser therapies, such as TheraClear™ and Cutera AviClear™, offer effective solutions by targeting acne-causing bacteria and reducing oil production.
