What is Acne?
How Is Acne Diagnosed?
Acne is a common skin condition where the pores of your skin clog. Pore blockages produce blackheads, whiteheads and other types of pimples. Pimples are pus-filled, sometimes painful, bumps on your skin. The medical term for acne is acne vulgaris.
Our doctors diagnose acne during a skin exam. During this test, your doctor will look closely at your skin to learn more about your symptoms. In addition, they may also ask about risk factors for acne.
Your doctor won't need to run any diagnostic tests for acne, but they may offer tests to diagnose any underlying conditions if you have a sudden and severe acne outbreak, especially if you're an adult.

Does family history matter?
Yes, if one of your parents had deep, painful acne you are more at risk of getting acne.
What age can you get acne?
In most cases, a mini facelift will last around ten years easily before another lift is needed. A full facelift can last approximately double that at twenty years. Many patients find that the results last even longer with a few more years for both the mini facelift and full facelift.
