Cosmetic Solutions: Enhance your routine with professional advice and treatments like chemical peels and specialised oil-free cosmetics.

What is Acne?

Acne is a very common skin condition characterised by comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) and pus-filled spots (pustules). It usually starts at puberty and varies in severity from a few spots on the face, back and chest, which most adolescents will have at some time, to a more serious problem that may be embarrassing, sap self-confidence and cause scarring. For the majority, it tends to resolve by the late teens or early twenties but can persist for longer in some people. It can develop for the first time in people in their late twenties or even the thirties. It occasionally occurs in young children.

What causes acne?

The sebaceous (oil-producing) glands of people who get acne are particularly sensitive to normal blood levels of a hormone called testosterone, which is present in both men and women. This causes the glands to produce an excess of oil. At the same time, the dead skin cells lining the pores are not shed properly and clog up the follicles.

These two effects result in a build-up of oil-producing blackheads (where a darkened plug of oil is visible) and whiteheads. The bacterium (known as Propionibacterium acnes) lives on everyone's skin, usually causing no problems, but in those prone to acne, the build-up of oil creates an ideal environment in which these bacteria can multiply. This triggers inflammation and the formation of red or pus-filled spots.

Dermatologist top tips to manage acne before your consultation:

To get an accurate assessment of your skin's condition, we recommend following these simple tips to manage your acne before your consultation. Doing so will help us create the best long-term solution for you. Here are some of our top tips to help prepare your skin and get the most out of your consultation.

Keep your routine simple: Before your consultation, simplify your skincare routine by using only a gentle cleanser and moisturizer to avoid irritation.

Be gentle: Avoid picking, squeezing, or popping your spots. This can lead to increased inflammation, scarring, and a risk of infection.

Don't Start New Treatments: Resist the temptation to try new over-the-counter products just before your visit. This can make it difficult for your dermatologist to determine what's working and what's causing irritation.

Don't Over-Cleanse: Washing your face too often can strip away natural oils, which can lead to your skin producing even more oil. Stick to washing your face twice a day—once in the morning and once at night.
