Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells1. This leads to the formation of whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples, often appearing on the face, back, chest, and shoulders2. Factors such as hormonal changes, genetics, diet, and stress can contribute to acne development. Acne can cause physical discomfort and emotional distress, particularly if it leads to scarring.

Acne treatment options vary widely and can be tailored to individual needs. Topical treatments like benzoyl peroxide, retinoids, and salicylic acid are commonly used to reduce bacteria, unclog pores, and promote cell turnover. Procedural treatments, including microneedling, chemical peels, light therapy, and extractions, can also be effective in managing acne and improving skin texture. Additionally, lifestyle changes including the provision of a skin care plan and routine and maintaining a healthy diet can support overall skin health and reduce acne flare-ups.

A Consultation can help determine the most appropriate combination of treatments based on the type and severity of acne, as well as individual skin type and lifestyle factors. If you have any additional questions, prior to a consultation, please get in touch.
