Acne is a common skin condition that can be challenging to manage, particularly because of its effects on self-esteem and appearance.
Condition
Active Acne
Overview
Acne is primarily caused by the overproduction of oil (sebum), clogged hair follicles, bacteria, and inflammation. Hormonal changes can often trigger this, but factors such as genetics, diet, stress, and environmental factors can also contribute to its severity.
Acne is characterised by different types of lesions:
- Blackheads: Open pores that appear dark due to sebum oxidation.
- Whiteheads: Closed, small white bumps caused by trapped sebum and dead skin cells.
- Pustules: Red, pus-filled spots with a white or yellow tip, often caused by bacterial infection.
- Cysts: Large, painful, pus-filled lumps that can cause scarring.
Affects of Acne
Acne ranges in severity and can affect both skin and self-confidence. While not curable, it can be effectively managed. For more severe cases, we may recommend medical treatment or refer you to our affiliated dermatologist for expert care.
We recommend our Comprehensive facial VISIA skin analysis consultation, which utilises the VISIA skin scanner, to help develop an effective skincare routine and a personalised treatment plan tailored to your unique skin needs. This plan will focus on exfoliating dead skin cells, regulating oil production, and reducing P. acnes bacteria.
