Acne is a common skin condition defined by the blocking of skin pores with hair, oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells. These accumulations cause blackheads, whiteheads, nodules, papules, and other types of pimples. Everyone experiences acne, the most common skin issue. Acne most typically appears on the face, forehead, chest, shoulders, and upper back. Acne is a hormonal condition produced by androgen hormones, which typically become active during adolescence and early adulthood. Acne treatment options vary depending on the severity, age, and type of acne. Acne can be efficiently treated using a range of prescription medications and procedures provided by the Best Acne Doctor in Gurgaon at Citrine Clinic.

Treatment options for acne removal on your shoulders

Laser treatment

When shoulder acne is active, it causes clogged pores and bacterial growth, resulting in the pimples associated with the condition. Though bacteria produce mini-infections within pimples, no amount of hygiene seems to help acne activity because bacteria are well protected within the pores.

Since lasers' highly concentrated light can pass through the top layers of skin without causing damage, laser treatment addresses these infections through the skin. When this energy is absorbed, it can break down the walls of bacteria, thereby killing some of them. With fewer active bacteria, the body's healing systems can work better against acne.

Intense pulsed light

IPL skin rejuvenation is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-powered light pulses to improve the appearance of the skin. The light rays are modified to remove any harmful wavelengths while remaining within the appropriate range for heating and destroying particular cells. IPL improves the skin by getting rid of acne-causing bacteria and increasing collagen formation.

These two functions help reduce skin discolorations, including freckles, birthmarks, age spots, and sunspots, while also tightening and smoothing the skin. IPL promotes collagen synthesis, leaving the skin smooth and young. Lasers can also help reduce the amount of sebum (skin oils) on the shoulders. Acne is often reduced when sebum is reduced. The anti-inflammatory effects of laser light can help reduce the severity of breakouts.

Chemical peels

This resurfacing treatment is beneficial for both mild and moderate shoulder acne. Chemical peels resurface the upper layer of the skin and promote cell renewal. The peels rapidly exfoliate the skin, allowing dead skin cells to shed more effectively while reducing oil production and unclogging pores. 

There are several peels to select from, and a skincare Best Skin Specialist in Gurgaon at Citrine Clinic will assist an individual in selecting the one best suited to their skin condition.
