Moderate Acne
Inflamed red pimples, multiple lesions.
Severe Acne
Cysts, nodules, scarring risk.
Treatment varies depending on severity.
We tailor treatment — not one-size-fits-all.
WHAT CAUSES TEEN ACNE?
Teen acne is mainly triggered by hormonal changes during puberty.
Hormones increase oil (sebum) production.
Excess oil + dead skin cells block pores.
Bacteria multiply inside blocked pores.
Inflammation develops.
This results in:
-
Blackheads (comedones)
-
Whiteheads
-
Red inflamed pimples
-
Painful cysts
-
Early scarring
THE EMOTIONAL IMPACT OF TEEN ACNE
Acne can affect:
-
Confidence
-
School participation
-
Social interaction
-
Self-esteem

We provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment.
If acne is affecting your teen emotionally, early treatment can significantly improve wellbeing.
