Acne is often broken into 4 categories. Those include:
There are many different causes of acne breakouts. The key causes of acne include excess oil (sebum) production, clogged hair follicles, and bacteria. Hormone changes, certain medications, stress, and diet can trigger or worsen acne, as well.
The best way to find out if your acne is bacterial or hormonal is to work with a skincare expert. Some signals you can look for is how severe the acne is, especially during times of hormone changes/imbalance (think puberty), and how well topical treatments resolve the issues.
AviClear is a laser acne treatment in Philadelphia that can safely and effectively treat all skin types and can be used on all acne severities.

The typical AviClear protocol is three 30-minute treatment sessions over 3 months.
Unlike most traditional acne treatments, AviClear is free of harmful side effects, free of chemicals and toxins, and safe for all skin types and tones. After your acne treatment in Philadelphia, mild symptoms such as redness, inflammation and flareups are normal but fade quickly.
