Acne & Spots

Acne develops when hair follicles become blocked by excess oil and dead skin cells. This can create blackheads and whiteheads and allow inflammation to develop, leading to red or pus-filled spots. Hormones, genetics, skincare products, stress, medication and lifestyle factors may also influence how frequently breakouts occur.

For some patients, the main issue is excess oil and congestion. For others, sensitivity, an impaired skin barrier, hormonal changes or unsuitable products may be contributing.

Understanding the pattern of your breakouts allows us to create a routine that treats the skin consistently rather than relying on repeated short-term fixes. Where acne is severe, painful, actively scarring or requires treatment beyond the clinic’s scope, we will guide you toward the appropriate medical care.
