What is acne & scarring?
Acne is a common skin condition that develops when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, sometimes leading to inflammation.
Acne may leave behind temporary redness, dark marks or permanent scarring that affects skin texture.
Common scar types include ice pick, boxcar and rolling scars.
When should you be assessed?
- Frequent or persistent acne breakouts
- Painful, inflamed or cystic acne
- Acne that leaves dark marks or redness
- Visible acne scars or uneven skin texture
- Enlarged or congested pores
- Acne that has not improved with regular skincare
- Recurring breakouts affecting confidence
How is it assessed?
- Acne type and severity assessment
- Evaluation of skin inflammation and sensitivity
- Identification of acne scar types and depth
- Review of previous treatments and skincare routine
- Assessment of possible contributing factors
- Personalised acne management planning
