Acne is a skin disease of a multiform clinical presentation which afflicts more than 80% of the general population. The first symptoms of the common form of the disease appear a few years before puberty and last until about 20 or 22 years of age. Many factors contribute to the formation of acne, the exact etiopathogenetic mechanism of the disease not being yet known. These factors may be:
-
- Genetic
- Microbiologic
- Functional (activity of sebaceous glands)
- Medication
- Hormonal

Common acne but generally almost all forms of disease, are mainly located on the face but also the shoulders, the back, the chest and more rarely the torso and the limbs. Acne may also appear on the thighs or the crurogenital folds.
The spots of acne disappear painlessly, without side effects, easily and fast with the use of fractional laser. The results are visible from the first session.
