What Is Acne and Acne Scarring?
Acne is a common skin condition that develops when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. It may present as:
- Blackheads or whiteheads
- Papules and pustules
- Cystic or nodular lesions
Acne scarring occurs when inflammation damages the skin and disrupts the healing process, leaving behind textural irregularities or pigmentation issues.
Common Causes
- Hormonal fluctuations – Especially during puberty, menstruation, or stress
- Excess oil production – Can clog pores and feed acne-causing bacteria
- Genetics – Plays a role in acne severity and scarring
- Picking or squeezing blemishes – Increases risk of scarring
Prevention & Management Tips
- Avoid touching or picking at breakouts
- Use non-comedogenic skincare products
- Maintain a balanced skincare routine with gentle cleansing and exfoliation
- Protect healing skin from sun exposure
- Seek early intervention to prevent long-term scarring

Dermapen® DP4 Microneedling helps reduce acne by promoting skin healing, clearing congestion, and minimizing inflammation for a clearer, healthier complexion.
Chemical peels such as The Perfect Peel and AlumierMD BHA 20 Peel exfoliate damaged layers, reduce inflammation, and fade pigmentation from past breakouts.
Custom facials tailored to acne-prone or post-acne skin help clear clogged pores, calm inflammation, and support healing. A great addition to an ongoing treatment plan.
A customized at-home regimen using medical-grade products can help reduce breakouts, control oil, and improve skin texture. Brands like AlumierMD, Pro-Derm, Om Organics, and EltaMD support healthy skin and complement in-clinic treatments.
