Almost everyone in America has had acne to some degree during their adolescent and young adult years. While most people only have mild acne problems, some may have had acne so severe that their skin is marred with acne scars. Acne is embarrassing enough for most people, but those with acne scars may be ashamed of how they look and experience low self-esteem because of the scarring. Fortunately, there are laser procedures that can help reduce acne scarring and rejuvenate the skin of those who have experienced scarring.
Contrary to popular belief, acne isn’t caused by what the type of food that is eaten or how clean skin may be. While using skin scrubs and reducing the intake of fatty and/or fried foods can help reduce outbreaks, acne is caused by bacteria that grows in the pores. Until the bacteria are treated, outbreaks will continue to happen, despite any other measures taken.
