Who Gets Acne?
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions affecting people of all ages. Most commonly it affects people in their teens, 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond. Untreated acne can cause permanent scarring which is an unwanted permanent reminder of the condition.
How does Acne Develop?
According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), acne is caused by the overproduction of androgens, hormones that stimulate the sebaceous glands causing them to enlarge and increase the production of sebum. This increase in oil production, coupled with dead skin cells, results in blockages in the hair follicle and sebaceous glands.
Types of ACNE
- Closed comedones (”Whiteheads”): Whiteheads can occur on the surface of the skin and can be caused when the pore is completely blocked, trapping sebum (oil), bacteria, and dead skin cells. The blockage can cause a white appearance on the surface of the skin, hence the name “whitehead.”
- Open comedones (also known as “Blackheads”): Blackheads result from the pore being partially blocked by sebaceous debris composed of dead skin cells, sebum and bacteria. The black color results from oxidization of melanin in the skin. A blackhead tends to be stable structure and can often take a long time to clear.
- Papules: Papules are the mildest form of inflammatory acne. The occur on the skin as solid, small, but inflamed red bumps that feel tender
- Pustules: Pustules are small round dome shaped lesions with visible white or yellow “centers” of pus.
- Nodules: Nodules are solid, dome-shaped or irregularly shaped lesion that feel like hard bumps right under the skin’s surface an extend into deeper layers of the skin, often causing tissue destruction that results in scarring.
- Cysts: Acne cysts are larger than pustules and appear similar to a nodule except that they are pus filled. Cysts can be painful lesions.

Patient Success Story
I am a 33 year old woman and have been suffering from painful acne most of my life. I have unsuccessfully tried it all - oral prescriptions, topicals, antibiotic treatments
and many other treatments. After an excessive outbreak, I called my friend and she recommended I see a local Acne Center for advice. “Here we go again,” I thought. As a last ditch effort I made an appointment for a consultation. I was recommended treatments with the PPx System for acne, and I started my treatment regimen immediately. After my first PPx treatment I felt and saw a difference in my skin right away.
