There is no denying the embarrassment associated with acne. Besides teenagers, many adults suffer from acne on a regular basis. It is very common that some people can develop acne late in life. The experts at Abington Aesthetic may be able to help you if you’re tired of creams that aren’t working.
Acne occurs when oil gets deep inside the pores. This causes bacteria to form which causes an acne blemish or a pimple. Most people experience a single pimple here and there. Some people have had or continue to have breakouts of acne. These breakouts are not limited to only faces, but also bodies. If you’ve already been prone to acne and are now dealing with the after effects of acne, you may have acne scars. We know that acne scars can be tough to hide or embarrassing to look at. We have treatments to help minimize the scarring.
