Acne
Acne is a common skin condition that affects people of all ages, from teenagers to adults. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to the formation of pimples, blackheads, or cysts. While not life-threatening, it can impact self-esteem and confidence, prompting many individuals to seek effective solutions. At Aesthetic Visual Result, we offer tailored treatments designed to address acne at its root and improve skin health.
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.

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.
