Acne

Acne consists of various skin lesions. They have a misbalance of the sebaceous glands in common. This may or may not lead to greasy skin, blackheads and whiteheads, inflammation and scarring.  The causes of acne are rarely known (hormonal, medication). Acne is often considered to be the same as adolescent acne (juvenile acne). Some studies state that more than 25% of women between 25 and 45 still suffer from acne. This is called adult acne or late-onset acne.
Despite therapeutic progress, we have to accept the fact that acne can be a long-lasting and chronic problem which needs therapeutic and cosmetic intervention from time to time.
Or, to put it bluntly: the sustainability of acne therapies cannot be predetermined.

Acne has nothing to do with cleanliness, rarely with food and nothing at all with sexual activities.
Acne treatments may be topical, oral or a combination of both. Newer acne therapies like photodynamic acne therapy or laser therapies complete the therapeutic armoury.
We try to find the cause of your acne and check for systemic problems. During an acne consultation we advise you on the various options for medical and cosmetic treatments.

Cosmetic treatments are performed by our own qualified cosmetician. Alternatively, we cooperate with your own cosmetician and advise them on our treatments. Additionally, we can refer you to external cosmeticians, whom we know share our view of acne and whom we train in-house in special courses.
