Ways We Treat Acne
At Eaton Skin & Aesthetics, our approach to acne treatment encompasses a variety of methods tailored to the individual’s skin type and acne severity. We utilise a combination of topical treatments, such as retinoids and benzoyl peroxide, which reduce inflammation and clear clogged pores. For moderate to severe cases, oral medications, including antibiotics and isotretinoin, may be prescribed to reduce acne-causing bacteria and oil gland activity.
Our clinic also offers treatments like chemical peels and light therapy. Additionally, we provide guidance on lifestyle and dietary adjustments that can complement medical treatments and contribute to long-term acne management.
Understanding that acne is a multifactorial condition, we adopt a holistic approach to its treatment. This includes addressing hormonal imbalances that may contribute to acne development, suggesting skincare routines that prevent pore clogging, and recommending non-comedogenic makeup products. Our doctor-led team ensures that each patient’s treatment plan is comprehensive and individualised and addresses all factors contributing to their acne.
Different Types of Acne
Acne can manifest in several forms, each requiring a specific approach to treatment. At Eaton Skin & Aesthetics, we treat all types of acne, from the mild, such as blackheads (open comedones) and whiteheads (closed comedones), to more severe forms, including papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. Blackheads and whiteheads are the most common and are typically treated with topical therapies, while papules and pustules are inflammatory lesions that may require a combination of topical and oral treatments.
Nodular and cystic acne are the most severe forms of the condition, characterised by deep, painful lesions that can lead to scarring. These cases often necessitate systemic treatments like isotretinoin, alongside possible corticosteroid injections, to reduce inflammation and lesion size. Understanding the type of acne is crucial in determining the most effective treatment plan.
Our treatment strategies are adaptive, considering the evolution of acne from non-inflammatory to inflammatory stages. We aim to treat the existing lesions and prevent new ones from forming, thereby reducing the risk of scarring. By offering a range of treatments suited to all acne types, Eaton Skin & Aesthetics provides personalised care that addresses the unique challenges of each patient’s condition.
Acne Scar Treatment
In addition to treating active acne, Eaton Skin & Aesthetics offers treatments for acne scars. Our options include laser therapy, which uses focused light to remove the outer layer of the skin or stimulate new skin cell growth; microneedling, which promotes the skin’s natural healing process and collagen production; and chemical peels, which exfoliate the top layers of skin.
Aesthetic facial treatments for volume loss can also address depressed acne scars. We also offer fractional laser treatment to treat scars related to acne. We carefully assess the type and severity of acne scars to recommend the most appropriate treatment, ensuring that each patient receives personalised care tailored to their skin’s needs.
Our Approach to Treating Acne and Acne Scar Treatment
We begin with a detailed assessment of the patient’s skin, health history, and lifestyle factors that could influence their acne or scars. This comprehensive evaluation informs a customised treatment plan that addresses the root causes of acne, manages current symptoms, and minimises the risk of future scarring.
We prioritise treatments that target the physical manifestations of acne and scars and consider the emotional well-being of our patients. Education on skin care practices and ongoing support and adjustments to treatment plans as needed are integral to our approach.
We are committed to advancing our understanding and treatment of acne and acne scars, incorporating the latest research findings and treatment innovations into our practice.
