Acne in aesthetics: a common skin condition and the practitioner's role in helping

Abstract

This article will provide a general overview of the pathophysiology of acne presentations that may be seen in aesthetic practice, as well as common problems associated with acne. Some of the common treatment modalities that can be used in aesthetic practice will then be discussed. By doing this, the author hopes that aesthetic practitioners will be more confident and more able to manage clients with this potentially debilitating condition.
