Due to acne and acne scars, the skin loses its natural shine and beauty. So, at Keynu Aesthetics, we offer acne and acne scar treatment to restore your facial health and brightness.
Understanding Acne: Causes & Types
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when pores become clogged due to oil (sebum), dead skin cells and dirt buildup. Pores are the tiny openings on the face where hair follicles grow. Blackheads, whiteheads, cysts, pimples, and nodules are all types of acne that appear on the face, neck, chest and back.
- Blackheads: Blackheads are caused by clogged pores with oil and dead skin cells. The top layer of the blackhead is open while the rest of it is blocked. It appears as black pores on the surface.
- Whiteheads: Whiteheads occur when the pore is clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Unlike blackheads, the top layer of the whitehead remains closed, resulting in a small white bump.
- Papules: Papules occur on the skin when the skin surrounding the pore breaks down due to inflammation. Papules are tender to the touch and are pink in colour.
- Pustules: Pustules form when the skin around the pores breaks down. Pustules are filled with pus and have a white/yellow top and red colour.
- Nodules: Nodules are caused when clogged and swollen pores grow larger in size due to skin irritation.
Cysts: Cysts are formed when pores are clogged with sebum, dead skin cells and bacteria.
Understanding Acne Scars: Causes & Types
Acne scars are marks on the face that remain after acne has healed. Acne scars are permanent marks on the face, chest and back. Oily skin is more prone to acne and acne scars. Here are the different types of acne scars:

- Rolling acne scar: Rolling scars make the skin look uneven and wavy. Rolling scars occur on the skin around the jaw and lower cheeks.

Atrophic scars: Flat and shallow depressions on the skin caused by cysts.
