Frequently asked questions<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n

Frequently<\/a> asked questions<\/p>\n

Acne is caused when the hair follicles<\/a> in your skin become or blocked<\/a> with bacteria, oil or dead skin. Each pore on your skin leads to a hair and sebaceous<\/a> (oil) gland. These oil glands release<\/a> sebum (oil) which travels<\/a> up the hair, through<\/a> the pore and onto the surface<\/a> of your skin. If the sebaceous<\/a> gland over-produces<\/a> oil or there is excess production<\/a> of skin cells, this can cause a build-up<\/a> in the follicle, blocking<\/a> pores, attributing<\/a> to bacteria<\/a> growth and acne . Poor hygiene<\/a> actually<\/a> doesn\u2019t cause acne, however, cleansing<\/a> your skin daily and exfoliating<\/a> weekly can help pores from becoming<\/a> . <\/p>\n

There are different<\/a> types of acne, which are acne cosmetic, acne mechanica, acne conglobta, excoriated<\/a> acne, acne rosacea<\/a> and steroid<\/a> acne. The lesions<\/a> can present<\/a> themselves<\/a> in the form of closed comedones<\/a> (or whiteheads), open comedones<\/a> (blackheads), pustules, papules, nodules<\/a> and cysts.<\/p>\n

Puberty<\/a> and hormonal<\/a> changes<\/a> are the most common factors<\/a>. Stress can also aggravate<\/a> acne, as well as a poor diet, the skincare<\/a> products<\/a> you are using, or it could simply be down to genetics<\/a>. Women are much more likely to suffer from acne due to hormones<\/a> \u2013 this includes<\/a> pregnancy, during your period, or if you suffer from Polycystic<\/a> Syndrome<\/a> (PCOS).<\/p>\n

There is no definite<\/a> cure for acne. Our aim is to improve<\/a> and control<\/a> your symptoms<\/a> as best we can. Acne can sometimes<\/a> take a long time to clear, so we\u2019ll work with you and your symptoms<\/a> continually<\/a> to find the best course of treatment, but we do see some clients<\/a> who see amazing<\/a> results<\/a> in just a few weeks.<\/p>\n

Your doctor or nurse will assess your skin during your initial<\/a> consultation<\/a> to recommend<\/a> the right course of treatment<\/a>. This could a series of treatments<\/a> such as , , . Sometimes, acne treatment<\/a> could also include<\/a> antibiotics<\/a> or therapies<\/a> (the combined<\/a> oral contraceptive<\/a> pill for women can often be effective<\/a> to treat severe acne) before you progress<\/a> onto treatments<\/a> in a clinic. It\u2019s important<\/a> to remember<\/a> that the acne experts<\/a> at sk:n will prescribe<\/a> a personalised<\/a> course of treatment<\/a> that works for you, your skin and the acne type you are suffering<\/a> with.<\/p>\n

This will appear as a large number of papules<\/a> and pustules<\/a> on your face and possibly<\/a> your chest and\/or back. The nodules<\/a> and cysts will likely be painful<\/a> and you could be at risk of scarring, therefore<\/a> it is essential<\/a> that you seek medical<\/a> advice. Read more about .<\/p>\n

During teenage<\/a> years, it can often go away on its own. Adult acne is much less likely to clear, but this will always vary person to person and you should always be aware of the risk of scarring<\/a>. So if you are concerned, always seek medical<\/a> advice.<\/p>\n

Acne is not caused by diet, but it can influence<\/a> it. Diet can play a key factor in helping<\/a> to prevent<\/a> Acne Scar treatment<\/a>, by avoiding<\/a> acne triggers<\/a> or aggravators<\/a> such as dairy and sugar, and adding highly nutritious<\/a> and vitamin-packed<\/a> food to increase<\/a> the skin\u2019s capacity<\/a> to fight infection<\/a> and heal itself. Some skin-friendly<\/a> food choices<\/a> include: whole grains, legumes, unprocessed<\/a> fruits like apricots, blueberries, tomatoes<\/a> and red grapes, and unprocessed<\/a> vegetables<\/a> such as carrots, avocado, sweet potato, beetroot, spinach<\/a> and other dark green and leafy vegetables<\/a>. Food containing<\/a> zinc, A and E and antioxidants, such as quinoa, turkey, fish, oat milk and seeds can also help the skin to fight acne.<\/p>\n

Acne may not be preventable<\/a> in many cases, but you should aim to look after your skin as best you can. Reviewing<\/a> your skincare<\/a> regimen<\/a> at home, and finding<\/a> the right products<\/a> for your skin type can help to remove surface<\/a> grim and dead skin cells which can aggravate<\/a> congestion<\/a>. Hydration<\/a> can also play a key role in preventing<\/a> acne, as dehydration<\/a> can generate<\/a> extra oils on your skin, ultimately, clogging<\/a> your pores and creating<\/a> new spots.<\/p>\n

As the experts<\/a> in skin, we want to make sure that not only does your treatment<\/a> plan give you the best results, but you can carry on caring for your skin at home after treatment<\/a> with a skincare<\/a> plan.<\/p>\n

Your new skincare<\/a> programme<\/a> will ensure you see the best possible<\/a> results<\/a> from your professional<\/a> treatments<\/a> in clinic.<\/p>\n

Everyone\u2019s skin is different<\/a> and will require<\/a> products, especially<\/a> if you have acne, but you can apply some simple rules to choosing<\/a> your skincare<\/a> routine<\/a> every day, all year round. Always include<\/a> a hydrating<\/a> product<\/a> like hyaluronic<\/a> acid or B5, an antioxidant<\/a> like vitamin<\/a> C to against<\/a> free radicals, a vitamin<\/a> A (i.e. retinol<\/a> or retinoids) which is anti-inflammatory<\/a> and anti-ageing, and a daily SPF for against<\/a> UVA, UVB and HEV (or blue light).<\/p>\n

Acne scars can be stubborn<\/a> and seemingly<\/a> permanent, but there are proven effective<\/a> that diminish<\/a> the of acne scarring<\/a>. The best treatment<\/a> for your skin will depend on the type of acne scarring<\/a> you have. Before you have treatment, a , nurse or acne practitioner<\/a> should assess your acne scars and select the most treatment<\/a> for you.<\/p>\n

There are various<\/a> types of acne scars; some may be red, purple or pinkish<\/a> in colour due to a of in the skin. If the area is red and is still inflamed<\/a> and swollen, the acne is likely to still be active, so we would need to treat that before treating<\/a> scarring<\/a>. A dermatologist<\/a> will be able to advise you about effective<\/a> for active acne, which may help to minimise<\/a> the risk of acne scarring<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Usually, the reddish<\/a> or brownish<\/a> acne marks that are left behind after pimples<\/a> clear up will fade with no need for treatment<\/a>. However, severe acne can leave you with scarring<\/a> that does not always fade, and picking<\/a> or squeezing<\/a> acne can also increase<\/a> the risk of scarring<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Some scarring<\/a> may heal and eventually<\/a> go, depending<\/a> on the severity<\/a>. There are three types of scarring: ice pick scars (small deep holes), rolling<\/a> scars (uneven skin) and boxcar scars (craters<\/a> in the skin). There are several<\/a> types of acne scarring<\/a> treatment<\/a> at sk:n that we recommend, to the skin\u2019s natural<\/a> healing<\/a> process<\/a> and encourage<\/a> cell regeneration<\/a> and collagen<\/a> production; your doctor may recommend<\/a> , which, depending<\/a> on the severity<\/a> or location<\/a> of your scarring<\/a> can be delivered<\/a> by a senior practitioner, nurse or doctor. We also sometimes<\/a> recommend<\/a> laser resurfacing<\/a> with an experienced<\/a> sk:n doctor or dermatologist, such as , , or Erbium Yag.<\/p>\n
