Acne & Breakouts
Most people arrive having already tried three or four products. Acne is not one condition with one fix — what works depends on what kind of breakout it is, how deep it sits, and whether it is leaving marks behind.
What people usually notice
- Breakouts that clear and return in the same places
- Painful lumps under the skin that never come to a head
- Blackheads and congestion across the nose, chin or forehead
- Marks or dark patches left behind after each spot heals
What commonly contributes
- Excess oil and blocked follicles, often worsened by humidity
- Hormonal patterns, which commonly show along the jaw and chin
- Products that are too heavy or too harsh for the skin type
- Picking or squeezing, which is the most common route to scarring
This page describes what is common, not what is true of you. Only an examination can say which of these applies.
What a doctor may consider
Which of these suits you — and whether any of them is needed at all — is decided at the consultation, not from this page.
What the consultation settles
The consultation separates active acne from the marks it left behind — they are treated differently, and doing the second while the first is still active usually wastes the session.
