Acne
Acne is a very common skin condition that causes your skin to break out in “spots” or “pimples.” Acne usually starts during puberty but can sometimes occur in children and persist into adulthood. Acne typically goes away after several years, but for some people, it can last much longer.
Why Shades Dermatology?
Shades Dermatology offers comprehensive acne treatment plans tailored to your unique needs. We utilize a multi-pronged approach, combining medical therapies (like prescription creams and oral medications), advanced procedures (including 1726nm laser therapy – AviClear, the first of its kind in Australia), and lifestyle modifications. Our focus is on long-term results and minimizing side effects, with a commitment to evidence-based and personalized care.
Treating acne takes time and may require special treatment with prescription creams or oral medication. Severe acne can be very upsetting and affect a person's confidence and self-image. Untreated or complicated acne can leave lifelong scars. Acne is not contagious and not caused by dirtiness.
