I have acne

Acne is an inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous follicles, caused by an overproduction of sebum. Sebum builds up in the pores, blocking them and forming comedones, which oxidize and turn into blackheads. Comedones can become inflamed due to bacterial growth on the skin, leading to acne breakouts that may become infected and develop into pustules. This can be very painful and often leaves significant scars on the skin, such as pitted scars or depressions.

Acne breakouts tend to appear in areas with high concentrations of sebaceous glands. They primarily occur on the face, especially around the nose, chin, and forehead (the T-zone), but can also affect the back, chest, and arms. Acne can also become chronic, in which case certain measures can be taken to prevent its spread.

Many factors contribute to acne. It is primarily caused by hormonal fluctuations and is very common among adolescents. Acne can also occur in pregnant women, during menopause, or due to certain oral contraceptives. Hereditary factors may also worsen the condition.

Lifestyle plays a significant role. The consumption of fatty and sugary foods contributes to excess sebum production, as does smoking and alcohol. Excessive sun exposure can also exacerbate this issue, as UV rays have comedogenic properties. The same goes for certain cosmetic and makeup products.

Acne can be difficult to eliminate. That’s why Dr. Aimé offers a wide range of aesthetic medicine treatments to help you achieve smooth, comfortable skin. She will guide you through your treatment journey with her medical expertise and advanced equipment.

• Hydrafacial
  The Hydrafacial is the most comprehensive aesthetic treatment to restore skin radiance. Its effectiveness is based on three processes: skin cleansing through exfoliation, extraction of impurities through suction, and the application of purifying boosters that stimulate the skin, including the new clarifying booster designed for acne-prone skin. This helps regulate sebum production, correct active lesions, and limit acne flare-ups.
• Chemical Peeling
  A superficial peel is a chemical exfoliation. Once applied to the face, it deeply cleanses the skin, and the specific active ingredients target dilated pores, inflammatory lesions, and excess sebum. It helps reduce active lesions and residual pigmentation.
• Nordlys Laser
  Laser treatment involves applying a light beam to the skin’s surface. The corresponding wavelength targets specific levels to treat particular issues. The laser has a dual effect: it reduces imperfections and stimulates fibroblasts. This promotes skin regeneration, helping to tighten pores and reduce acne scars.
• Microneedling Skin Pen
  Microneedling Skin Pen uses tiny needles to create micro-perforations in targeted areas of the skin. This technique stimulates fibroblasts and growth factor production, optimizing collagen production. The skin regenerates, acne scars fade, spots lighten, pores tighten, and skin renewal is stimulated.

Aesthetic medicine treatments offer excellent results. They target sebum production, inflammation, blackheads, breakouts, and scars. Some techniques require multiple sessions for optimal results. After several weeks, you will notice a significant improvement in your skin quality. Acne will be less visible, scars will fade, and your complexion will appear fresher.
