Acne is most commonly classified into four different types: Non-inflammatory acne, which is usually characterized by whiteheads and blackheads; Inflammatory acne, which includes papules, pustules, and nodules; Cystic acne, which is the most severe form of acne and results in deep, painful cysts; and Acne fulminans, which is an acute form of acne that is often accompanied by fever and joint pains.

Acne is caused by a number of factors, including hormonal changes, genetics, bacterial overgrowth, skin irritation, certain medications, and lifestyle factors such as stress and diet.

The signs and symptoms of acne can vary depending on the type of acne and the severity. Common signs and symptoms include whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules, cysts, and scarring.

Acne is typically diagnosed by a dermatologist based on a physical examination and the patient’s medical history.

Treatment options for acne include topical medications, oral antibiotics, hormone therapy, chemical peels, laser and light therapy, and isotretinoin (Accutane).

PRP Acne Treatment is a minimally-invasive procedure that involves injecting a patient’s own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the acne-affected areas of the skin. PRP is a concentrate of platelets derived from the patient’s own blood, which contains healing and regenerative properties that can help reduce the appearance of acne scars and improve the overall skin texture.

The only potential side effects are temporary swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site. These symptoms are typically mild and will dissipate within a few days.

At SHAN Esthetics, we prioritize comfort and safety for all of our treatments. That’s why our PRP acne treatments are virtually painless. We use a tiny needle to inject the PRP solution into the skin, which may cause a slight prickling sensation. We also use a numbing cream to reduce any discomfort.

The results of PRP acne treatment vary from person to person. Generally, you can expect to see an improvement in the appearance of acne scars, as well as a decrease in inflammation and redness. You may also experience a reduction in the size of your pores and an increase in skin elasticity.

The length of a PRP acne treatment session depends on the severity of the acne. Generally, each session takes between 30-45 minutes. We recommend multiple treatments for optimal results, which can be scheduled at your convenience.

The results of PRP acne treatment may last up to 12 months or longer, depending on your skin type and care regimen. Our team of experienced professionals will work with you to develop a custom skincare routine that will optimize the longevity of your results.
