Acne

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to breakouts such as blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, or cysts. It is a condition that commonly develops on the face, chest and back. Acne can affect people of all ages and may be influenced by hormones, stress, diet, and skincare habits. Acne can vary in severity, ranging from mild to severe forms. Mild acne typically involves occasional whiteheads, blackheads, or small pimples, usually confined to limited areas of the face. Moderate acne is characterized by more frequent breakouts, larger and inflamed pimples, and may extend to the chest, back, or shoulders. Severe cystic acne is the most serious form, involving deep, painful cysts or nodules that can cause scarring if left untreated. Understanding the severity of acne is important for selecting the most effective treatment approach, as each level requires different management strategies to reduce inflammation, prevent scarring, and improve skin health. At our clinic, we offer personalised acne treatments designed to target the root cause, reduce inflammation, prevent scarring, and restore clear, healthy-looking skin. A consultation is advised to allow the practitioner to assess your skin and create the best treatment plan.
