ACNE TREATMENT LEXINGTON KY
Acne: A skin disorder that can destroy both the complexion and one’s self-confidence
While acne is usually associated with adolescence, many adults suffer from this irritating skin ailment and seek out treatment from a cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist. Acne doesn’t just appear on the face; it also targets the arms, back, shoulders, buttocks, chest and neck. The raised legions can heal poorly, leaving debilitating scars and craters in their wake. Often the skin reacts with redness, swelling, soreness and inflammation, causing significant distress and interrupting the normal flow of life. Advanced Skin & Vein Care Centers offer acne treatment and acne scar removal in Lexington and Georgetown to combat and reverse the effects of this skin ailment.
​
How does acne form?
Rooted at the base of each facial hair follicle is an oil gland that produces the appropriate amount of secretion to keep the skin healthy and glowing. When these hair follicle roots become saturated with dirt, dead cells, debris or makeup, the oil builds up, creating a pimple. Sometimes these growths fill with bacteria, making their spread throughout the skin cells even worse. They may mushroom to become pustules, lesions, cysts or nodules.
​
How do acne scars form?
Many clients struggle with picking at their pimples. This sometimes leaves damaging scars, which are due to an excess of collagen being released by the body to compensate for a wound. Acne scars are quite troublesome because even after the pimples themselves have healed, they still leave a trail that can negatively affect the appearance.
​
What are some causes of acne?
There are several factors that contribute to acne, including overproduction of the androgen hormone during the teenage years, or a general change in the oil glands’ functioning. There is also the possibility that acne is genetic and is passed on through the generations.

Active Acne Laser Treatments Harmony® laser AFT
Acne is a common condition characterized by obstructed sebaceous glands, pimples and sometimes deeper cysts or nodules that occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and upper arms. Acne begins in adolescence and usually affects most teenagers at some time. However, adults too can suffer with acne. When severe, acne can often result in scarring. Even less severe cases can lead to scarring, if not properly treated. Until recently, patients with persistent, moderate acne have been treated with only topical or sometimes systemic antibiotics. Recent studies have demonstrated, however, that certain discrete spectra can trigger endogenic porphyrins that naturally destroy P. acnes bacteria — and in just a fraction of the time it typically takes for antibiotics to work. Within eight brief acne laser treatments, over just four weeks, Harmony® laser AFT can provide significant improvement. This is three times faster than common antibiotics and topical. Patients should achieve 80% clearance and treatments for acne take only a few minutes.
