What Causes Acne?

Acne is primarily caused by a combination of factors that contribute to the formation of pimples and other skin blemishes. These factors include:
Contact
Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This can lead to inflammation, resulting in pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, or cysts. Hormonal changes, stress, diet, and certain skincare products can also contribute to acne.
Preventing acne involves maintaining a consistent skincare routine, including gentle cleansing, exfoliation, and moisturizing. Avoiding pore-clogging products, eating a balanced diet, reducing stress, and staying hydrated can also help prevent breakouts.
Popping pimples is generally not recommended as it can lead to scarring, infection, and increased inflammation. Instead, it’s better to use spot treatments containing ingredients like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid and allow the pimple to heal naturally.
Treatment options for acne include over-the-counter topical treatments (like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid), prescription medications (such as retinoids or antibiotics), hormonal treatments (like birth control pills), and in some cases, professional treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy.
Yes, diet can influence acne. Foods with a high glycemic index (such as sugary snacks and refined carbs) may exacerbate acne, while a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids can help promote clearer skin. However, individual responses to certain foods can vary.

Happy Clients

Hear what our clients have to say about our clinic

I can’t recommend JS Medical Aesthetic enough! I had lip fillers and eyebrow treatments done, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. My lips still look beautifully full and natural even after a long time, and my eyebrows have achieved the perfect symmetrical shape I’ve always wanted. The team at JS Medical Aesthetic truly understands their craft, and their professionalism and expertise made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. I have complete trust in their services and will definitely be returning for future treatments. Thank you, JS Medical Aesthetic for helping me feel more confident and beautiful!

The first time I decided to do my lips, it was very difficult for me to choose the right place, but after seeing the SJ page, I decided to go to them, and I realized after the procedure that it was the best decision!
