What is Acne?

Picture
Acne is an actual disease of the pores.  It is also called ‘retention hyperkeratosis’. Individuals who are acne-prone sheds dead skin cells much faster than normal, at a rate that the skin cannot keep up with.  Most acne is inherited, but it can be caused by certain drugs, medications or exposure to certain chemicals.  As excess dead skin cells shed, they form a plug along with sebum (oil) and hair.  If the body doesn’t see the plug as an invader, then it remains as a noninflamed lesion, or blackhead.  If it does, then it forms into pimples, pustules and cysts.

More than 60 million Americans suffer from some from of acne breakouts.  Acne affects more than 80% of all people at some time in their lives.  Acne now has hit epidemic proportions in adults.  What used to be just a teenage problem is now a significant challenge in many peoples' lives.

What acne is NOT:
  • It's not just a teenage problem
  • It's not a result of improper cleansing
  • More scrubbing will not alleviate acne
  • It's not cured with Accutane
  • It's not easy to treat

What Our Clients Are Saying

"It's hard to even put into words the experience I recently had with Kimberlee.  Two years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and had bilateral mastectomy.  By her amazing talent and work, I can feel whole again.  She tattooed 3D areola and nipples on me and she did a beautiful job.  She is kind, compassionate, and caring.  She several times cried with me and I know she felt just as much joy as I did when she was done.  I felt very calm in her office and I was able to relax and feel peace.  I would highly recommend her to anyone."
