Acne is one of the most common conditions we see in our clinics. If your acne is making you feel self-conscious, or if breakouts are causing you pain, then our range of treatments can leave your skin feeling soothed and you feeling confident by tackling the acne at its source.

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in the world, affecting an estimated 85% of young adults. Acne starts when the pores in your skin get clogged with oil and dead skin cells.

Each pore is connected to a sebaceous gland, which produces an oily substance called sebum. Extra sebum can plug pores, causing the growth of a bacteria known as Propionibacterium acnes, or P. acnes. Your white blood cells attack P. acnes, leading to skin inflammation and acne. Some cases of acne are more severe than others, but common symptoms include whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples.

Many factors may contribute to the development of acne, including:

• genetics
• diet
• stress
• hormone changes
• infections

Standard clinical treatments are the most effective for reducing acne.
