ACNE – Say No to Acne and Scars! Chase after them and treat it!
Acne / Pimples / Acne Scars is a common skin disease that occurs when hair follicles are clogged with dead skin cells and oil from the skin. It is characterized by blackheads or whiteheads, pimples, oily skin, and possible scarring. It primarily affects areas of the skin with a relatively high number of oil glands, including the face, upper part of the chest, and back. People often squeeze spots and blemishes because of their unpleasant appearance. This can, however, cause increased inflammation and in extreme cases lead to permanent scars. Having acne and acne scars for most people is very disturbing and presents a psychological problem as well. Luckily we can now offer a long-term solution.
