Welcome to Perfectly Bare Laser, your premier destination for skin rejuvenation in Tampa. Specializing in combatting acne and the scarring it leaves behind, we are dedicated to transforming your skin and boosting your confidence.

Acne is a common skin condition caused when hair follicles become clogged with dead skin cells and sebum, an oily secretion from the skin's glands. Our bodies host a complex microbiome, composed of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. When follicles are blocked, this microbiome can become imbalanced, leading to the overgrowth of harmful bacteria beneath the skin. This process results in various forms of acne, such as pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules, and cystic acne.

Several factors can trigger acne, including genetics, stress, diet, hormonal fluctuations, and certain medications. At Perfectly Bare Laser, we provide effective skincare products and targeted acne treatments designed to enhance your skin’s health and appearance.

What are Acne related scarring issues:

• Atrophic scars: These are depressions in the skin caused by a loss of collagen. They can be further categorized into boxcar, ice pick, and rolling scars.

• Hypertrophic and keloid scars: These are raised scars that occur when the skin produces too much collagen.

• Inflammation: When acne penetrates the skin deeply, it can damage the skin tissues as well as the deeper fat and collagen layers. The more severe the inflammation, the more likely scarring is to occur.

• Collagen Damage: Acne lesions cause the skin to lose collagen, the main structural protein in the skin. If the body doesn’t produce enough collagen during the healing process, a depression (or atrophic scar) forms.

• Improper Healing: Sometimes, the skin overreacts to the injury caused by acne and produces too much collagen, which leads to a raised scar.
