Effective Acne Treatments from London's leading Acne Specialists

What causes acne?

Acne arises when hair follicles become blocked by a combination of sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria. The sebaceous glands, attached to hair follicles, produce sebum which is meant to lubricate the hair and skin. However, overproduction of sebum can lead to clogged follicles, especially when mixed with dead skin cells. Factors such as hormonal changes, particularly increases in androgens like testosterone, can enhance sebum production, further exacerbating acne.

A range of factors can cause Acne. These include stress, hormonal fluctuations associated with pregnancy, menopause and oral contraceptives, medication side effects, sweating, excessive oil production, sleep habits and hair and skincare products.

Acne classification

Acne is classified into three different types:

  • Mild – Whiteheads and blackheads are common.
  • Moderate – You will see whiteheads, blackheads, papules and pustules. A papule is a small red bump, a pustule is a small bump on the skin that contains fluid or pus.
  • Severe – Many large, often painful, papules and pustules, as well as nodules or cysts. There may also be scarring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can acne be cured?

Our goal is to enhance and manage your symptoms to the best of our ability as there is no absolute cure for acne. Clearing acne may take a considerable amount of time, but we are committed to working with you continuously to find the most effective treatment. While some clients experience remarkable results within a few weeks, we understand that each individual’s journey with acne is unique, and we are dedicated to supporting you throughout the process.

What does severe acne look like?

If you notice numerous papules and pustules on your face, and potentially on your chest and/or back, it could indicate the presence of a significant number of these skin lesions. The nodules and cysts may cause discomfort and there is a possibility of scarring. Hence, it is crucial to consult a medical professional for appropriate guidance.

Will acne go away on its own?

During teenage years, it can often go away on its own. However, adult acne is less likely to clear up, and its resolution varies from person to person. It’s important to be mindful of the potential for scarring. If you’re worried, it’s always advisable to seek medical advice.

What types of food help acne?

Contrary to popular belief, acne is not directly caused by diet. However, diet can still have an impact on acne. By avoiding certain triggers or aggravators, such as dairy and sugar, and incorporating highly nutritious and vitamin-packed foods, you can help prevent acne and improve your skin’s ability to fight infection and heal itself.

Skin-Friendly Food Choices

Here are some food choices that are beneficial for the skin:

  • Whole grains
  • Legumes
  • Unprocessed fruits like apricots, blueberries, tomatoes, and red grapes
  • Unprocessed vegetables such as carrots, avocado, sweet potato, beetroot, spinach, and other dark green and leafy vegetables

Additionally, foods containing zinc, vitamins A and E, and antioxidants, like quinoa, turkey, fish, oat milk, and pumpkin seeds, can also contribute to the skin’s ability to combat acne.

Remember, while diet alone may not cause acne, making healthy food choices can support overall skin health and contribute to a clearer complexion.
