Let’s Talk About Acne

Acne is the most common skin condition, with over 50 million people impacted in the United States alone. While it is not typically a serious medical condition; acne can be physically uncomfortable and emotionally distressing. This can affect every aspect of life. 

At Amplify Aesthetics we understand that acne impacts people every day. Our acne specialists focus on acne treatment because we believe that by using proven and effective treatment protocols, we have the opportunity to change lives! When we treat acne, we are by your side every step of the way. Here are a few of the reasons acne can be challenging to deal with. 

Appearance: Acne can be unsightly, with red, inflamed bumps and pimples on the face, chest, and back. It can make people feel self-conscious and embarrassed, affecting their self-esteem and confidence.  

Pain and scarring: Acne can be painful, especially if the lesions are large and inflamed. This can make it difficult to sleep or to engage in physical activities. In severe cases, acne can leave scars on the skin, which can be permanent. This can further impact a person's self-esteem and confidence. 

Infection: Acne can become infected, leading to more serious skin problems. This is more likely to occur if the acne is picked or squeezed, and this can perpetuate the cycle of breakouts. 

Duration: Acne can last for years, and in some cases, it can persist into adulthood. This can make it difficult for people to form relationships, pursue careers, or enjoy social activities.  

Depression and anxiety: Acne can be stressful, and it can trigger feelings of depression and anxiety. The emotional toll of acne can be particularly severe for teenagers, who are already dealing with the stress of adolescence. 

Negative body image: Acne can contribute to a negative body image. People may feel that their appearance is unattractive or that they are not good enough.  

Social isolation: People with acne may avoid social situations because they are self-conscious about their skin. This can lead to social isolation and feelings of loneliness. Acne can also have an impact on romantic relationships, making it difficult for a person to feel confident and attractive to their partner.  

All of these reasons and more are why we have a comprehensive set of acne treatments that we customize just for you. We created the Acne Academy—a program exclusively for our acne clients.
