Abstract:
Acne is one of the most common dermatological conditions, affecting individuals of
various ages and backgrounds. While many treatment approaches focus on alleviating
the visible symptoms of acne, such as inflammatory lesions and comedones, it is
essential to understand that skin condition goes beyond what is apparent on the
surface. This work explored and analyzed potential factors that influence the skin
health of a patient with acne, investigating how lipid and glycemic changes may
contribute to the development and worsening of acne, as studies have shown a
relationship between these metabolic changes and acne. Thus, this is a descriptive
qualitative study, including only female participants aged between 18 and 28 years with
acne-prone skin classified as: grade I, grade II, or grade III. The study involved clinical
history taking, blood test analysis, bioimpedance analysis, recording of body
measurements and blood pressure, and facial image recording. A total of seven
participants were analyzed, with four participants showing an influence of glycemic
factors, while the influence of lipid factors was observed in only one participant. By
identifying factors related to the onset of acne, it is possible to assist esthetics
professionals in primary health care, guiding treatments and prescribing cosmetic
products for patients.
