Acne & Acne Scars

Acne is a common and persistent skin condition caused by clogged pores, excess oil production, bacteria, and inflammation. It manifests as pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, or cysts, commonly appearing on the face, chest, back, and shoulders. Factors like hormonal imbalances, diet, and stress can worsen acne, leading to frequent breakouts. If left untreated, severe acne can cause long-term scarring, leaving behind dark spots, indentations, or raised marks on the skin. At A9 Clinic, we provide specialized treatments to control active acne, prevent future breakouts, and reduce acne scars, helping you achieve clearer, smoother, and healthier skin.

Causes of Acne & Acne Scars

  • Excess Oil Production – Overactive sebaceous glands clog pores, leading to breakouts
  • Bacteria Build-Up – Acne-causing bacteria (P. acnes) multiply in clogged pores, causing inflammation.
  • Hormonal Changes – Fluctuations in hormones during puberty, pregnancy, or stress can trigger acne
  • Diet & Lifestyle – High-sugar or dairy-rich diets and stress can worsen breakouts.
  • Improper Skincare – Using harsh or pore-clogging products can irritate the skin
  • Picking & Squeezing Pimples – Touching acne can worsen inflammation and cause scarring
