Our Acne Treatment Service

Initial Consultation

During your initial consultation, our dermatologists will assess your specific symptoms and affected areas of skin. This allows them to determine the severity of Acne that you have and identify any possible triggers.

Treatment

We can then recommend the best course of treatment including any dietary or lifestyle changes that may have a positive effect on managing the symptoms.

Reassessment

If the initial treatment plan become ineffective, it will be reassessed and a new treatment plan will be recommended so that the most appropriate treatment is always in place.

What Causes Acne?

Hormonal changes during puberty increase the sebum production by the oil-producing glands in the skin. In most people with acne, hormone levels are normal, but the glands are highly sensitive to the hormones.

Acne can also flare up before the menstrual period. Sometimes it can be triggered by a problem with the hormones, like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which can affect females. It can also be aggravated by external factors, such as oil-based skin care products, certain contraceptive methods and hormonal treatments and stress.

Some studies have found that foods with a high glycaemic index, such as sugary foods, white bread, potatoes and white rice, can aggravate acne. There is a weak evidence that milk can cause acne in some people.
