What Is Acne?
Acne, a prevalent skin condition affecting about 60 million people annually in the U.S., can range from mild to severe. This skin challenge, commonly involving pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, small cysts, and inflamed areas, often results from a combination of clogged pores, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Although mostly associated with teenagers, it can persist into the 40s, appearing on the face, chest, and back. Dr. Denise L. Klemczak at VIVOS Wellness in Kissimmee, FL offers a variety of treatment options for acne. These range from personalized at-home cleansing routines to prescription medications and advanced laser treatments, like the PicoSure® laser. This innovative approach, along with other treatments like facials, peels, and RF microneedling, helps restore the skin to a healthy, luminous state, catering to individual needs and conditions.
How Do You Treat Acne?
Research indicates that over-the-counter medications do not treat severe acne efficiently. VIVOS Wellness offers numerous therapy options to control and manage acne and clear up its standard symptoms. For less severe cases of acne, prescription drugs such as topical creams and solutions that contain sulfur, retinoids, salicylic acid, and benzoyl peroxide might provide help. There are also oral antibiotics, such as doxycycline, minocycline, or tetracycline, which are helpful to use. Besides topical and oral prescriptions, laser therapies using the PicoSure laser have also proven effective. Not only can laser therapy help to cleanse and kill dead skin cells beneath the dermal layer, but it can also decrease redness and other pigmentation problems connected with acne. Extractions, facials, RF microneedling, and chemical peels may also help, depending on the kind of acne you are dealing with.
What Are the Effects of Acne?
Acne effects may vary, depending on the kind of acne you have and its severity. Some of the effects include:
- Blemishes: Common in various forms, like blackheads, whiteheads, and cysts
- Severity range: Blemishes can be moderate to severe
- Emotional impact: Acne can lower self-esteem and cause depression
- Skin discoloration: Dark spots may occur post-acne
- Scarring: Severe acne can lead to permanent scars

Acne Treatment FAQs
What is the cause of acne in adults?
While acne is typically considered a condition for teenagers, numerous adults still could have the hormonal changes that produce breakouts. Other determinants that may lead to adult acne are certain medicines (steroid drugs, anticonvulsants) and family history.
