It is estimated serious acne problems affect nearly 20% of
Australians, from men and women to surprisingly young children. While
almost all of us develop a few pimples and whiteheads during our teenage
years, in this 20% can’t be treated with over-the-counter medications
and lotions. Serious acne sometimes requires medical intervention, which
can also have serious side-effects. As this acne is so deep and
difficult to remove, the majority of sufferers have long-term skin
damage and may also suffer outbreaks of acne throughout their twenties
and thirties. Getting rid of acne and its scarring is not always easy
without specialist medical treatment.
Acne sufferers have usually had several different
kinds of medical interventions by the time they come to us. The
difficulty with acne is that there is not just one form of it, but
several different types. This treatment needs to be centred on an
individual’s specific acne problem. It may involve changing the diet to
clear up the root cause of the acne or it may include taking a
therapeutic dose of antibiotics to prevent the acne from reforming. Only
when this is cured can our acne scar treatment services in our Brisbane
clinicstreat the after-effects of acne.
There are also various
treatments designed to help people with acne to improve the appearance
of their skin. This can range from simple microdermabrasion, which
removes the top layer of the dead skin to give it a smoother appearance.
Laser treatments are also used to shrink acne scarring and encourage
new skin to grow. Dermal fillers may also be used too, which involves
collagen injections to fill out the skin beneath the scars. These
treatments can be used in combination, to reduce the appearance of
severe scarring. Or they may be used as individual treatments to benefit
smaller areas of scarring. When you feel that you need help with acne
scarring, visit our Brisbane clinics. We will always provide a free
consultation and help choose a treatment in your best interestto help
