What is Acne?
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to inflammation. It can manifest as blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, or cysts, often on the face, back, or chest. While often associated with adolescence, acne can affect people of all ages due to factors like hormones, genetics, and skincare habits.

Acne Scarring
Often when acne makes an appearance, acne scarring comes along with it. When acne breakouts penetrate the skin, it damages the skin and tissue beneath it. As the breakout begins to heal, the body tries to repair the damage left behind. At In My Own Skin Med Spa, we offer services and Medical Grade skincare that may help correct acne scars.
