Microdermbrasion is another option if the acne scars are not too deep. Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical treatment that exfoliates the skin's top layer smoothing out scar tissue. Tiny crystals are sprayed onto the skin through a hand-held device that suctions the crystals - this causes new skin growth and the scar eventually appears less noticeable. Although with scars this process can take several months to accomplish.
The skin contains sebaceous glands, which have receptors, like most organs and cells in the body. Just as the muscle cells respond to steroids by growing, the sebaceous glands respond to steroids (particularly the androgen Dihydrotestosterone which the body produces as a byproduct of increased testosterone) with increased secretion. Just as the teenager with high testosterone levels suffers from acne, the 40-year old man with artificially high testosterone levels will suffer from acne for the same reason. The higher the dose, the higher the testosterone level in the body, which results in worse cases of acne.
All acne begins with one basic lesion: the "comedo", an enlarged hair follicle plugged with oil, dead skin cells and bacteria. It is invisible to the naked eye and lurks beneath the surface of your skin waiting for the right conditions to grow into an inflamed abrasion. As the skin continues to produce more oil, bacteria flourish within the swollen follicle. The surrounding skin becomes increasingly inflamed as your white blood cells fight against the intruders.
