Acne is a prevalent skin condition that can affect people of all races and ages, but it is most commonly encountered during the teenage years and young adulthood. Interestingly, when acne emerges in adolescence, it tends to be more prevalent among males. However, acne can persist into adulthood, where it becomes more common among women.
Excess Oil Production: When the skin produces an excessive amount of oil, it can clog pores and lead to acne.
Buildup of Dead Skin Cells: Accumulation of dead skin cells can block pores and contribute to acne formation.
Several factors can increase an individual’s risk of developing acne:
Hormones: Hormonal fluctuations, especially during puberty, can trigger acne outbreaks.
Family History: A family history of acne may make one more susceptible to the condition.
Medications: Certain medications can be associated with acne as a side effect.
Age: Acne can affect people at various stages of life.
Diet: Some studies suggest that certain foods may exacerbate acne, though ongoing research is exploring the relationship between diet and acne.
Stress: Psychological stress can sometimes worsen acne symptoms.
Environmental Irritants: Pollution and high humidity can contribute to acne flare-ups.
Skin Habits: Squeezing or picking at blemishes and excessive scrubbing can worsen acne.
With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Lica specializes in treating acne effectively. The primary goals of acne treatment are to:
Heal Existing Lesions: Address and alleviate current acne blemishes.
Prevent New Lesions: Develop strategies to prevent the formation of new acne lesions.
Minimize Scarring: Take measures to prevent scarring resulting from acne.
Topical Medications: These are applied directly to the skin and may include benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics, retinoids, salicylic acid, and sulfur.
Systemic Treatments: For more severe cases, systemic treatments such as Roacutane, antibiotics, and hormonal therapies may be considered.
In-Clinic Procedures: Dr. Lica provides in-clinic treatments like IV drips, photodynamic therapy, ozone therapy, acne peels, BBL (BroadBand Light), laser therapy, mesotherapy, and microneedling for a personalized approach to acne management.
Rosacea is a persistent inflammatory skin condition known for causing redness and rashes, primarily on the nose and cheeks. It can also lead to eye complications. The symptoms tend to ebb and flow, often triggered by factors like sun exposure and emotional stress.
Rosacea doesn’t discriminate; anyone can be affected. However, it’s more commonly observed in the following groups:
Women, although men who develop it may experience more severe symptoms.
People with fair skin, but it might be overlooked in individuals with darker skin due to the masking effect of darker pigmentation.
