Acne occurs when the hair follicles, or pores, become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, and the clogging allows bacteria to grow. Hormonal changes, like those that happen during puberty and adolescence, can increase the skin’s oil production and lead to acne.
Today, there are many treatments for acne, some of which concentrate on the bacterial symptoms. The CoolTouch III® and CoolBreeze® lasers for acne, target and shrink oil glands, and decrease their ability to produce acne in the first place.
