ACNE

Acne is a chronic skin condition affecting males and females of all ages and races. It ranges from mild pimples to severe pus filled lesions. Acne is more common in oily skin types in the late teens to early twenties.
Acne is caused by a variety of factors. Genetics, hormones, use of certain cosmetics and face creams, hot and humid climates, certain medicines like the oral contraceptive pill and even stress. Adult onset acne is often due to hormonal imbalances.
It is important to treat acne as early as possible as acne that is untreated can have devastating far reaching effects. It can cause deep facial scarring, and lead to psychological issues like depression, embarrassment, and social withdrawal.
There is no minimum age to start acne treatment. If you are old enough to get acne, then you are old enough to be treated for it.
We treat acne with a variety of prescription acne medications like antibiotics, retin A or Roaccutane. We also offer chemical peels, microdermabrasion and IPL treatments.
For home use we recommend products like the Clarity range from Lamelle or oil control gels from Neostrata.
