Acne
A commonly overlooked yet physically and psychologically scarring problem, acne is a long-drawn problem that commences at puberty and can drag on well into one’s 20s and 30s.
Overview
What causes acne?
Acne is caused mainly by accumulation of dead skin, bacterial infection and uncontrolled inflammation. Hormonal influences, genetic factors, and even proposed dietary influences are known to be the underlying drivers of acne in some too.
Early intervention is the best solution – less acne translates to less emotional worries, as well as less scarring, saving you precious time and finances required in attempting to eliminate those pesky scars later on.
What is our solution?
Patients can be individually assessed to have medication prescribed.
For a long-lasting solution, we introduce the AGNES machine; a long-lasting option.
This is the latest revolutionary device that focuses on ‘Selective Sebaceous Gland Destruction‘. This involves precise destruction of the sebaceous gland with no thermal injury to visible skin; providing a permanent solution to chronic recurring acne.
