First, the pathophysiology
↳ Sebaceous gland hyperactivity
↓
Change in Follicular Keratinization
↓
The influence of Bacteria
↓
Cutibacterium acnes (formerly Propionibacterium acnes)
↓
gram(+)
↳ which combine with TLR-2 in stimulating IL-6,
IL-12 causing inflammation.
As treatment
Normalizing Keratinization and Exfoliation
↓
Elimination or reducing Cutibacterium acnes
↓
Removing the molecule that clogs the pore
↓
Attacking the inflammatory response
↓
Decreasing the level of sebum secretion
Biochemical Treatment – through anti-inflammation
↳ All-trans retinoic acid
↳lower Monocytes TLR-2 + CD-14
↓
inhibit the irritating of Cutibacterium acnes
↓
Produce pro-inflammatory hormone
※ Due to Acne has [MMP1, 3, 9]↑, causing scars.
