WHAT IS ACNE?

Acne is a condition that causes blemishes in the skin. There are various types of acne with different causes and treatments. There are three main categories that describe most types of acne:

• Comedonal acne. This condition is characterized by outbreaks of blackheads and whiteheads. It develops due to the accumulation of sebum, an oily secretion produced by the skin itself. Accumulated sebum, along with old skin cells, clogs the pores of the skin. Comedonal acne is most often seen on the forehead, nose, and chin.
• Inflammatory acne. This form of acne refers to a condition in which blackheads and whiteheads become reddened and inflamed.
• Cystic acne. This is the most serious form of acne, and there is a strong indication that it may be hereditary. Cystic acne occurs when the skin in the area of the outbreak develops larger or deeper nodules. Cystic acne may be very painful and can result in permanent scarring.

DO ONLY TEENAGERS GET ACNE?

Although acne is most common in teenagers, the condition often occurs in adults.

Been working with Dr Saluja for 3 years now and absolutely love the results I’ve seen! She truly knows how to enhance your natural beauty. I’ve only had pleasant experience with all the staff at both locations.

Amazing treatment! We have been to many doctors throughout the US and this is the best. Dr Saluja could be one of the top dermatologists in New York or Los Angeles and we’re fortunate enough to have her offices here in Melbourne — very comfortable office.
