ACNE

Acne is a common skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by the presence of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads on the face, neck, chest, and back. Acne can be caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, genetic predisposition, and certain medications. It can have a significant impact on a person's self-esteem and overall well-being.


Acne is a multifactorial dermatological condition that affects individuals of all ages and ethnicities. In addition to the previously mentioned causes, such as hormonal imbalances and genetic predisposition, lifestyle factors can also contribute to the development and severity of acne. For example, poor diet, stress, and improper skincare routines can exacerbate acne symptoms. Understanding the underlying causes of acne and implementing appropriate treatment strategies can help individuals achieve clearer and healthier skin.


Acne untreated, can lead to acne scarring. Acne scarring occurs when the skin is injured or damaged during the healing process of acne breakouts. This can result in permanent marks or indentations on the skin, which can further worsen a person's self-esteem and confidence. It is crucial to address acne as early as possible to minimize the risk of scarring.


There are a variety of treatment options available for individuals with acne and/or acne scarring. Pure Beauty Aesthetics offers a variety of acne treatments in Albany, Oregon including chemical peels, skincare, facials, enzyme therapy, acne laser treatments, and microneedling. Pure Beauty Aesthetics is dedicated to helping individuals address their acne concerns through a wide range of effective treatments. Our team of skilled acne professionals in Albany, Oregon is well-versed in providing tailored solutions for acne and acne scarring, ensuring that each individual receives the most suitable treatment for their specific needs. 


Chemical peels are a popular acne treatment, as they exfoliate the skin and promote cell turnover, reducing the appearance of acne and improving overall skin texture. Skincare products, such as Retin-a, specifically formulated for acne-prone skin are also available, offering a daily care routine that targets breakouts and helps prevent future ones. Enzyme therapy exfoliates the skin, gets rid of toxins and impurities as well, and works the facial muscles to tighten and firm the skin. Enzymes are suitable to treat acne, rosacea, inflammation, pigmentation aging, and sun damage. Microneedling for acne scars works by penetrating the top layer of skin with tiny needles which induce an increase in collagen production where the micro-wounds are created. The excess collagen acts as a 'filler', smoothing out the skin around the scars and improving overall appearance.
