Acne
Condition Overview
What is acne?
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, but that doesn’t make it any less frustrating. Whether you’re dealing with breakouts on your face, chest, or back, acne can be persistent, unpredictable, and sometimes even painful. While acne is most common in teenagers, many adults also experience persistent or hormonal acne.
If you're searching for the best acne dermatologist in Sydney, our team provides advanced, personalised treatments to help manage and clear acne effectively.
What causes acne?
There is no single cause of acne, but several key factors contribute to breakouts:
- Hormonal changes: Puberty, pregnancy, and other hormonal fluctuations can increase oil production.
- Genetics: A family history of acne can make you more susceptible.
- Skincare and cosmetics: Some products can clog pores and trigger breakouts.
- Diet and lifestyle: High-glycaemic diets (white bread, potatoes etc), stress, and lack of sleep may exacerbate acne.
We will assess your skin and lifestyle factors to determine the best treatment plan for you.
How can acne be treated?
Acne is treatable, and there are a range of options available, including topical and oral medications, light-based therapies, and chemical peels. Factors such as your overall health, lifestyle, and the severity of your acne are considered when determining the most effective treatment.
Some treatments require a prescription from a dermatologist and are not available from a GP. If you are looking for a trusted acne dermatologist near you, we recommend booking a consultation.
