Acne Treatment
Acne is a prevalent skin condition, intricately linked to the pore, hair follicle and the sebaceous gland – a true trio of troublemakers! When most people talk about the condition, they’re describing those pesky breakouts and spots that make an entrance during our teens. But it’s not just about teenage hormones wreaking havoc. We understand the nitty-gritty of cellular and genetic factors influencing its development. Acne-prone pores have a knack for being sticky; couple that with surplus oil and they become blocked and inflamed. This step-by-step process starts with white and blackheads, graduating to red, sore spots and occasionally a yellow head.
The good news is we’ve cracked the code on acne for clear, confident skin. Faciem Dermatology is your premier destination for specialised acne treatment – we believe in not just treating the symptoms but understanding the science behind the breakout.
At Faciem Dermatology we unravel the complexities of acne to bring you effective solutions. Acne is a localised inflammatory disorder of the pilo (hair) sebaceous unit (oil unit). Over time, it takes its toll over time, thickening the skin and potentially causing collagen damage that may lead to scarring. And that’s not all – this inflammation also affects brown pigment producing cells called the melanocyte, leaving dark marks on the skin of colour, eg Indian or Afro-Caribbean skin.
How can we treat it? We believe in the power of careful assessment and a deep dive into the impact of skincare ingredients. We bring you medical and bioactive elements that break down the blockages and keep those oil glands in check. But that’s not all; we elevate the experience with clinic-grade facials, crafting a holistic approach to effectively treat the condition. Welcome to a world where understanding meets innovation for radiant, blemish-free skin.

Acne Treatment Faq
Acne is a problem of the hair follicle and oil glands. There is a tendency to have dead skin cells trapped and blocked in the hair follicle and together with too much sebum spots start to form. There may also be a hormonal component that needs addressing.
This depends on the cause, so your journey starts with a consultation with Dr Prasad or our therapist. We then recommend a treatment programme which consists of medical grade skin products or prescriptions. Combining this with the Hydra-Facial and light devices, such as a micro-pulse laser, has been shown to reduce the hair follicle and shrink down the oil glands. All our pricing and your treatment journeys is clear and transparent from the outset.
As early as two weeks, with good results shown within four-six weeks and sustained with the right treatment programme.
