Acne Treatment In Runaway Bay

Widespread throughout the population, acne is a common condition that often arises during our teenage years due to hormonal fluctuations. However, for some individuals, it can persist well into adulthood, manifesting even in their 30s and 40s as adult hormonal acne.

What is acne?

Acne occurs when the sebaceous glands or hair follicles become blocked, resulting in the formation of unattractive pustules. The main reason behind this is usually an excessive production of oil by the glands. While acne can appear on any part of the body, it is most commonly found on the chest, back, arms, and face due to the higher concentration of hair follicles and oil glands in these areas. Unfortunately, the increased oil production often leads to a greater number of pimples.

Since acne lesions can be sizable, scars may develop, posing a significant concern for many acne sufferers. Additionally, acne can adversely impact mood and social interactions with peers. Therefore, mitigating the adverse effects of acne is crucial both medically and socially.

At Curvz in Runaway Bay, our clinic, led by experienced doctors, ensures top-notch care for acne issues. By utilising advanced techniques and scientific research, we customise acne treatment plans to meet your specific requirements. Our holistic strategy includes topical ointments, oral medications, and individualised programmes aimed at tackling acne, reducing oil production, and eliminating bacteria. Additionally, we emphasise ongoing maintenance through personalised skincare regimens and mild exfoliation peels, enhanced by prescription-grade products tailored to your skin type.

Acne Tips.

Acne is not just about the occasional blackhead or whitehead. The presence of bacteria in the affected area can lead to acne cysts, which can quickly spread to other parts of the face, causing increased redness, swelling, and more unsightly pimples and cysts. Despite the temptation to pop pimples, it is highly discouraged. Popping pimples can introduce more bacteria into the already infected pores and worsen inflammation. If left unaddressed, cystic or recurrent acne can damage the collagen in the deeper layers of the skin, leading to scarring.

Acne is more than getting the occasional blackhead or whitehead. Acne cysts, is when there is bacteria present in the area, which can easily spread to other areas of the face quickly, bringing with it more redness, swelling and more unsightly pimples and cysts. So though we all tend to like pimple popping, it is a Big No Go. Popping pimples leads to you spreading more bacteria into the already-infected pores, plus it causes more inflammation. Left unmanaged, cystic or recurrent acne damages the collagen in the deeper part of the skin and scarring can develop.
