Acne and Acne Scars, solutions with treatment in Katy

Acne is an embarrassing problem for over 17 million people in the United States. For adults and teens, the agony is very real and it can keep them from the things they dream of doing. About 8 out of every 10 preteens and teens experience some form of acne. This common condition can cause pimples, with or without pus, whiteheads, and blackheads. Our hair follicles, or pores, contain glands with oil called sebum. Normally, there is just the necessary amount of sebum in our pores, but when there is too much, the pores become clogged with not only sebum but with dirt, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This causes the troublesome invader known as acne.

While acne can take many forms, there is something you can do about it, no matter the type. At the office of Dr. Seymour Weaver, we have a variety of acne treatment for those seeking assistance with their acne. If acne is left untreated, larger problems arise such as cysts. Under the skin, bacteria will continue to grow and an outbreak can occur, causing much unwanted pain. We would like to help those with acne, treating it before it becomes a major problem and help keep their acne under control.

Some acne issues can clear up on their own. Unfortunately when it doesn’t, scars can form. They can become permanent, leaving everlasting marks on your body. More so than other places, acne is seen on the face. However, this problem doesn’t always stay isolated to one spot. For many, acne can surface on the arms, legs, and back, causing humiliation and pain. Stress just adds to the problem by creating more hormones, which is the number one trigger for acne. Teens and women have hormones that are rapidly changing, giving you acne and scars.

We offer many ways to treat acne and acne scars. Microdermabrasion and chemical peels can smooth the skin, minimizing the embarrassing acne scars. Saline injections and laser therapy are a couple other choices you’ll have. Depending on your particular case with acne, you will have a treatment plan made just for you. Don’t put up with the annoyance of acne any longer, call, or come by Dr. W. Dermatology for a consultation today.
