Acne is a bad condition, It regularly affects teenagers, but it can also be a problem in adulthood, where it can just appear.  I’ve had people that have come in, and they’ve said, “I’ve had perfect skin for years and then, all of a sudden, look. What’s happened? What’s going on?”

Are pimples and acne the same?

Pimples are another form of acne. When the skin’s pore becomes congested, swollen and inflamed; people refer to them as pimples!  However, whiteheads or blackheads usually have to develop an infection before the pimple forms!

What causes acne?

Everybody is different, so we have to find out why you’ve had an outbreak. We have to go on a little journey with you to find out if it’s related to your lifestyle.  Stress, diet and products can be contributory factors, amongst other things.

Stress aggravates skin conditions, the more we worry, the worse it gets its a self-fulfilling prophecy.  Eating foods that are high in sugar, saturated and trans fats. Using skin products that block your pores can also cause breakouts.  However, in my experience, acne tends to be caused by a combination of things; be aware!

Nine times out of ten, we can clear it for you, alternatively, get it under control. Using a variety of treatments and techniques.



Can acne cause scars?

Uncontrolled acne can be very uncomfortable and unsightly, in severe cases, it can lead to scaring.

Frequently, acne causes depressed scars these develop when there is a loss of skin tissue.  however, often, what is taken to be an acne scar isn’t, but more commonly post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Fortunately, this is a temporary discolouration of the skin and will eventually fade.
