Acne Treatment for Teens

At Kamala Aesthetics Medical and Laser Associates we stress programs for teens that will create a healthy lifestyle at their early age. Within the programs, we address protection of skin from sun damage, acne problems, proper nutrition and diet, skin care regimes and physical exercise. These future adults can slow the hands of time through involvement in teen acne programs. We will become a big part of their life, as important as studying and dating. We will give them the personal appearance and confidence to academically and
socially achieve.

We specialize in treatment for teens for acne prevention and skin maintenance. Acne, a disorder of the sebaceous glands in the skin, affects nearly 17 million people in the US. According to studies by the National Institute of Health (NIAMS), nearly 85% of adolescents and young adults between the ages of 12-24 develop acne. While teen years are fun, challenging and exciting, it is the time to establish a serious skin care regime.

The exact cause of acne is not known, but hormones appear to be the major factor. During teenage years, androgen, or male sex hormones, elevate markedly in both boys and girls. This results in an increase in the size of oil glands and the quantity of oil produced. The skin must be washed several times a day with a gentle cleanser to constantly remove this oil. Also, when we are under stress the body secretes extra hormones.

Acne Contributing factors:

Greasy cosmetics

Excitement and stress

Environmental irritants (high humidity)

Pressure from tight clothes, i.e., collars, bike helmets

NOT foods, research shows little correlation

Skin Care Suggestions:

Do not squeeze the blemish, scarring will occur

Clean skin gently, no scrubbing

Astringents are not recommended as they are too drying

Shampoo hair frequently (grease around the face)

Shave carefully, soften face with soap and water

Avoid sun, skin becomes more sensitive

Choose cosmetics and hair products carefully (look for Doctor recommended)
