Causes & Symptoms
Acne develops due to a combination of factors. Excess oil production, clogged pores, bacteria, and inflammation are the primary culprits. Hormonal changes, stress, diet, and genetics can also exacerbate the problem. Symptoms include:
- Blackheads and whiteheads (non-inflammatory)
- Papules and pustules (inflammatory)
- Cysts and nodules (severe)
- Redness, swelling, and skin tenderness
Understanding these causes and symptoms is the first step towards finding the right treatment.
Impact
Acne can have far-reaching effects beyond the skin. Physically, it can cause discomfort and scarring, while emotionally, it may lead to anxiety, depression, and reduced self-confidence. Early intervention and appropriate treatment are crucial to mitigate both short and long-term impacts.

For Acne

-
At Aesthetic Visual Result, we offer advanced treatments that target acne and promote healthier skin. Two key options include:
-
Microneedling: This minimally invasive procedure stimulates collagen production and encourages skin renewal. SkinPen® helps reduce scars, improve skin texture, and minimise active acne.
-
Chemical Peels: Tailored chemical peels exfoliate the skin, unclog pores, and reduce inflammation. These treatments also help fade pigmentation and promote a more even skin tone.
-
Each treatment is customised to your skin type and the severity of your symptoms, ensuring optimal results.
