What Causes Acne and Acne Scarring?

Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to the formation of spots and pimples. While the exact causes of acne are not fully understood, several contributing factors have been identified, including:

Hormonal changes
Genetics
Diet
Stress
Certain medications
Exposure to certain chemicals and substances

Acne scars can occur when the skin is damaged by acne. When acne lesions become inflamed, they can cause the surrounding tissue to break down. As the skin attempts to heal, it may produce too much collagen, leading to raised scars. On the other hand, if too little collagen is produced, it can lead to depressed scars.

Several factors can influence the likelihood of developing acne scars, including the severity and duration of acne, genetics, and age. Older individuals may be more prone to developing acne scars, as the skin's ability to regenerate decreases with age.

What are the Different Types of Acne?

Acne is a common skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. There are several types of acne, each with their own unique characteristics. Some of the most common types of acne include:

Whiteheads:

Small, raised bumps that have a white or yellowish head. They develop when hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells.

Blackheads:

Open pores that appear black due to the oxidation of the oil and dead skin cells blocked inside. Contrary to popular belief, blackheads are not caused by dirt.

Papules:

Small, red bumps that can be tender to the touch. They occur when the walls of the hair follicles become inflamed.

Pustules:

Similar to papules, but with a white or yellowish pus-filled centre. They are formed when the hair follicle wall breaks down.

Nodules:

Large, painful lumps that develop under the skin. They occur when the hair follicle becomes deeply inflamed and can take longer to heal than other types of acne.

Cysts

Deep, pus-filled lesions that are often painful and can cause scarring. Acne removal for this type of acne can be a prolonged process, as nodules are the most severe type of acne and can take several weeks to heal.

What are the Different Types of Acne Scars?

Acne scars are a common concern for those who have struggled with acne in the past. They can be categorised into different types based on the severity and appearance of the scars. Some of the most common acne scars are:

Ice Pick Scars

These are deep, narrow, and sharply defined scars that appear as small holes on the skin. They are caused by the loss of collagen and elastin in the skin.

Boxcar Scars:

Boxcar scars are more shallow and wider than ice pick scars. They have a rectangular-shaped appearance with sharp edges and can be either shallow or deep.

Rolling Scars

These are broad and shallow scars that have a "rolling" appearance. They are caused by the formation of scar tissue under the skin, which pulls on the surface of the skin, causing it to appear uneven.

Hypertrophic scars:

These are raised and thickened scars that form when the body produces too much collagen during the healing process. They can be red or pink and are often found on the chest, back, shoulders, and jawline.

Keloid scars:

Keloid scars are similar to hypertrophic scars but are larger and extend beyond the original boundaries of the acne blemish. They are more common in people with darker skin tones and can be itchy or painful.

What Acne Treatments are Available with Este?

Here at Este Medical, our range of acne treatment and acne scar treatments in Kenya are designed to treat a variety of acne conditions and help to restore clear, smooth, and glowing skin. Our treatments include:

Lightfusion™ Light Therapy:

The ideal acne spot treatment for active acne, this treatment uses photo-dynamic therapy (PDT) to target and eradicate the breakout-causing bacteria to allow your skin to heal effectively. This pimple treatment has also been proven to reduce the appearance of acne scars, to leave your skin looking smoother, more radiant, and more youthful-looking.

Skin Peels:

Our skin peels are another excellent acne spot treatment and acne scar treatment for mild to moderate acne. Working to resurface the top layer of our skin, these treatments help to encourage cell regeneration to leave you with a smoother, and healthier-looking complexion. And with a range of peels to choose from, our skincare experts are on hand to help you find the perfect solution for your skin concerns.

Pixel Laser Resurfacing:

The ideal laser treatment for acne scars, this treatment works by resurfacing the affected area and promoting collagen production deep beneath the skin’s surface. The new collagen helps to stimulate the skin’s regenerative capabilities, ultimately reducing the appearance of depressions caused by acne scarring.

Do I need to stop wearing makeup if I have acne?

If you have acne, you do not need to stop wearing makeup. However, you should only wear non-comedogenic makeup, as it doesn’t block the pores.

Does acne mean my face is dirty?

Needing acne treatment does not mean your face is dirty. There are a number of factors that can cause acne, including hormones, stress, genetics, certain medications and more. Be careful not to over-cleanse your face, as this can irritate the skin and lead to further breakouts.

Can I treat acne at home?

Although you can treat acne at home using over-the-counter spot treatment or acne scar treatment, these solutions do not always provide the desired results. That’s why we offer proven acne treatment to help restore a clear complexion. Book your consultation today to get started on your journey towards radiant skin.

Can I clear my acne for good?

Absolutely. Although everyone is different, acne does generally tend to completely clear up with the right treatment. Our specialists have provided outstanding results for patients who felt like they had tried everything to clear their skin, proving the effectiveness of our range of acne treatments.
