What Is Acne?
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when pores become blocked with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. It can appear as spots, pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, or inflamed lesions, most commonly on the face, chest, and back.
While acne is often associated with teenagers, many adults experience persistent or late-onset acne. Hormonal changes, genetics, skincare products, and lifestyle factors can all play a role.
Early and appropriate treatment can help reduce breakouts, improve skin appearance, and lower the risk of scarring. Our service provides access to prescription treatments following a professional assessment, helping you manage acne effectively.
