Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting people of all ages. While breakouts can be frustrating, the right skincare treatments can help manage current acne and prevent future blemishes. Twin Ports Dermatology offers effective solutions for clear, healthy skin.
Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with an oil called sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Hormonal changes, stress, and certain lifestyle factors can increase sebum production, leading to clogged pores and inflammation. Factors like genetics and improper skincare routines can also contribute to breakouts.
Effective acne management often involves a combination of professional treatments and at-home care. Twin Ports Dermatology offers the following options:
Medical-Grade Skincare: These products contain higher concentrations of active ingredients compared to over-the-counter options. Ingredients like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and retinoids can reduce inflammation, unclog pores, and prevent new acne from forming.
Topical and Oral Treatments: Prescription-strength topical treatments target acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and regulate oil production. Oral medications, such as antibiotics or hormonal treatments, may be recommended for moderate to severe cases.
