Acne is a common skin condition where the hair follicles under the skin and the pores become clogged. Pores are the opening of the hair follicles. Hair follicles extend deeper below the skin’s surface through multiple layers of skin. Pores are clogged with dead skin cells, leading to outbreaks of pimples and zits. Acne outbreaks typically occur on the face but are also found on the back, chest, shoulders, and other areas of the body.
Acne is caused by excess buildup of dead skin cells, oil, and bacteria in your pores. Acne is an inflammatory disorder where the skin’s sebaceous oil glands that connect to the hair follicle become irritated. The sebaceous glands produce sebum that is released through the skin pores. Keratinocytes are a form of skin cell that line the hair follicle. Typically, Keratinocytes rise to the surface of the skin. When someone has acne, the hair, sebum, and keratinocytes are stuck within their pores. This combination stuck below the surface allows bacteria to form in the follicle, causing further inflammation, tenderness, and redness. If the wall of the follicle breaks, the bacteria skin cells and sebum penetrate the surrounding skin, creating pimples.
Hormones, genetics, medications, and age can all increase your risk of experiencing acne issues. Acne traditionally occurs in adolescents and dissipates as people reach their thirties.
At Heartland Luxe Aesthetics, we offer three innovative acne treatments that improve skin health, texture, and appearance. XEO laser treatment can treat active acne and acne scars. Microneedling and Secret Pro can both effectively treat acne scars.
XEO is a cutting-edge personalized laser and light treatment for acne, scarring, and enlarged pores. This treatment works by improving skin elasticity, making scars less visible, rebuilding broken capillaries, and more. Each session yields a further reduction in acne and scarring. This treatment method reduces skin damage accumulated over time. XEO laser treatment can also stimulate collagen production that heals the skin.
Microneedling is a proven technique that fades acne scars. Microneedling stimulates collagen production in the skin. Increased collagen production improves the texture of your indented acne scars from below the surface. Platelet-rich fibrin uses your blood’s healing and replenishing components through concentrated application in the treatment area. This helps to rejuvenate and heal the skin through the micro-wounds created by microneedling.
