Teen Acne vs. Adult Acne

Acne is a problem for teens and adults alike. It is not exclusive to teens going through puberty. As a matter of fact, acne amongst adults is a growing trend- more than half of women with acne did not experience breakouts or blemishes during their teens. The onset of adult acne can occur as a result of pregnancy (usually post) or even during menopause, due to an imbalance in estrogen (the female hormone) levels.
Teen acne is associated more often with extremely oily skin. Adult acneoccurs in those with combination skin type. Skin breakouts in teens basically present themselves much in the same way in adults.
What exactly is combination skin?
Combination skin type have zones of oil and dry skin. Usually characterized by T zone (forehead, nose and chin), this zone is usually oily, while the rest of the face is dry. Oily skin is where some type of acne typically forms.
How do I know if I may have acne?
Usually, acne is triggered by some kin d of internal factor, such as stress or hormonal imbalances. Symptoms are usually the same across the board- it manifest itself as pimples and/or blackheads on the surface of the skin. However, the severity levels vary, acne can be very minor to very severe, in severe cases, oozing from the pus and infections may occur. If this is
something you’re experiencing, you should see a dermatologist IMMEDIATELY!
Severe Teen Acne
How does acne form?
In short, acne is produced as a result of the body’s over abundance of oils and sebaceous fluids which become trapped beneath the surface due to cuticle build up or debris. When this occurs, unnatural levels of bacteria may begin to form which may result in infections.

Teen Acne…………..
Teen Acne
To a teenager, acne vulgaris is single handedly the worst problem to affect them- because, it is not something they can hide. It’s quite conspicuous and causes embarrassment on many levels. 85% of Americans between the ages of 15-25 are affected by acne. Most patients require minimal treatments, however, in some, persistent acne can progress to significant scarring on the face, chest, shoulders and for many on the back.
Bay Harbour Med Spa offers a multitude of comprehensive and effective acne treatments for teens to combat their acne. Apart from antibiotics and topical skin creams (should be used as a last resort) acne cleansing facials or a series of Crystal Microdermabrasion TM treatments have shown to be particularly effective. Bay Harbour Med Spa has amassed data and photos pertaining to acne and the progression of effective treatments over the years.
