What is back acne?
Acne manifests in the form of blackheads or whiteheads beneath the skin. This is often accompanied by unpleasant pus-filled pustules… Back acne appears as painful nodules or abscesses. This condition is referred to as nodulocystic acne, which can result in scarring. While teenagers may experience breakouts in this area, men can be affected too, as well as women, depending on hormonal changes or contraceptive pill adjustments.
What causes back acne?
The causes of back acne are the same for both teenagers and adults. The skin produces an excess of sebum or excessively thick sebum. The origin is often hormonal, leading to clogged pores that trap dead skin cells. A bacterium known as Propionibacterium acnes thrives and causes skin inflammation, resulting in red spots and acne nodules.
Why choose the Juliet and Morpheus laser treatments?
The Juliet laser
Scars must be treated with varying intensities. Consequently, the treatment may require several sessions spaced typically 1 to 2 months apart, along with complete sun avoidance to prevent rebound pigmentation. In almost all cases, the treatment will be painless. If a deeper treatment is planned, the doctor will prescribe a healing cream. The Juliet laser creates micro coagulation wells using the principle of photothermolysis, which involves rapidly heating a specific target, such as fibroblasts, while minimising heating in the dermis.
This technique allows for deep action and limits thermal diffusion. A phenomenon that stimulates skin cells leads to rapid recovery, resulting in significantly reduced social avoidance. Multiple passes will be made over the affected area, creating several impacts in the dermis. In response, the skin will naturally regenerate, healing at these points and appearing tighter.
Morpheus
Morpheus is the latest technology in radiofrequency combined with microneedling (with micro-needles delivering the stimulation current directly to the targeted fibroblasts). This treatment remodels the skin at multiple levels because it is possible to control the penetration of the microneedles. This technique produces a lifting effect that fractionalises the reshaping of the face and body. Radiofrequency enables deep action that tightens the skin. Morpheus is an appealing alternative for individuals seeking a deep treatment without invasiveness.
Results gradually appear in the weeks that follow as the body produces collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. The skin regains better tone and a smoother appearance. Missing volumes are restored, and the skin is repaired thoroughly. The results last for several years and have a very natural finish.
These treatments are particularly interesting for those looking to erase scars and achieve smooth skin!
