Bacteria, genetics, hormones, clogged pores, certain drugs, comedogenic products are factors that may aggravate the condition. Additionally stress may stimulate hormones that cause acne as well.
Tips for reducing Acne:

When treating this medical skin condition, it’s very important to be very consistent with professional in-office treatments. Initially we recommend getting treatments every two weeks, then every three until the condition improves and resolves then it would be maintenance treatments every month.
For best results, it’s advisable to use dermatology-grade skin-specific retail products that we’ll recommend for you.
