Acne Treatment

Acne is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages, causing pimples, blackheads, whiteheads and sometimes cystic lesions. Our specialized acne treatments are designed to target the root causes of acne, reduce inflammation and prevent future breakouts, leaving you with clearer, healthier skin.

Understanding Acne

Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to bacterial growth and inflammation. Factors such as hormones, diet, stress and genetics can contribute to the development of acne. Effective treatment involves addressing these underlying causes and promoting skin health.
