Acne
Acne is an inflammatory disease of the sebaceous hair follicles. It is the most common skin disease to affect adults and will affect up to 95% of people at some time.
Most people will have mild acne with occasional break outs; others will have much more severe episodes. It is vital to treat acne effectively and as early as possible to prevent acne scarring.
We aim to manage the majority of our patients using creams and various treatments, avoiding the need for oral medication. However in some resistant cases, stronger medication may be required.
It is believed that there are 4 steps in the formation of acne:
- There is an increase in sebum production, the oily substance made by the sebaceous glands. This may be due to hormonal factors and stress.
- The openings of the follicles get blocked, causing a buildup of sebum in the follicle.
- A particular bacterium called P. acnes colonises the follicles.
- There is resulting inflammation.
The treatments for acne range from Lustre bluelight treatment to the Obagi skincare range. This is a doctor-prescribed skincare regime which is followed at home in combination with in-clinic Obagi peels. At VIVA Clinic we have had many years' experience in effectively treating acne - illustrated in our gallery of acne before and afters.
