ATTACK IS THE BEST FORM OF DEFENCEBack

Acne spots can affect the skin of your face, back, shoulders and chest and can vary from mild to quite severe.  Whilst it is common in adolescence, you can still see it in later life.

Acne starts to develop when hair follicles in your skin get blocked with sebum and dead skin cells. This can lead to dark spots, called ‘blackheads’, becoming noticeable on your skin. If your follicles stay blocked, they can become inflamed or swollen. This can lead to spots that look like white bumps or spots that contain fluid (cysts).

The psychological and social impacts of acne are a huge concern, especially because acne affects adolescents at a crucial period when they are developing their personalities. During this time, peer acceptance is very important to the teenager and unfortunately it has been found that there are strong links between physical appearance and attractiveness and peer status.

We are Revitalaser have many years of experience in dealing with all of these manifestations of acne.

Many acne-sufferers say it affects their self-esteem and body image.  As a result they adopt coping strategies such as avoiding eye contact, growing their hair long to cover their face and even refusing to go to school or work.  Acne can also result in social withdrawal and have a detrimental effect on relationship building.

The form of Acne known as Acne Rosacea is also extremely distressing for the sufferer.  It is a common rash, usually occurring on the face.  It is more common in women, but tends to be more severe in men. It is a chronic condition and, in any individual, the severity tends to come and go. Rosacea tends to affect the cheeks, forehead, chin and nose, and is characterised by flushing and redness, dilated blood vessels, small red bumps and pus-filled spots. There may also be uncomfortable inflammation of the surface of the eyes and eyelids.
