Fat cells known as lipocytes reside in the subcutaneous layer. Our visit to the subcutaneous layer will be brief because as far as acne is concerned, there’s not much action going on here.
But if you’re interested, your subcutaneous layer is what your outer layers of skin rest upon. Your fatty layer is your body’s insulator, cushion, and natural shock absorber (and it also helps to keep the diet industry in business!).
The subcutaneous layer contains arteries, veins, lymph vessels, and nerves that are larger than those found in your dermis. If you go any deeper, you’ll come upon muscles and possibly some of your inner organs. That’s out of bounds! So I’ll end the anatomical tour right here in Fat City.
