Acne, or acne vulgaris is a common condition affecting the hair follicle and sebaceous gland. When oil or dead skin cells block the follicles, blackheads, whiteheads, spots and pimples can appear.
Usually on the face, check and back areas of the body it can lead to scarring. It is very common – affecting millions of people worldwide, predominantly in teenage years but unfortunately often into adulthood.
What causes it
Acne can be caused by:
- Hormones
- Hormonal conditions such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), which may also cause irregular periods, weight changes and unusual hair growth
- Cosmetics and medication
- Diet
- Genetics
How can we treat it?
Acne may be common, but it needn’t be left untreated – particularly because it can lead to acne scars. We know acne can feel very personal, so it needs particular care and attention.
If you’re suffering from acne, come and see us. Following a consultation with our doctor, you’ll be placed on an appropriate acne treatment programme. This may be through advice, prescriptions, creams, a programme of peels and acne facials to help clear the dead skin cells, or a combination of all four. We can also support with acne scar treatment if needed.
You’re in safe hands – we will do a thorough assessment with you before treatment to ensure the best results.
