Acne & Scarring
Acne, Breakouts & Acne Scarring
COMMON CONCERNS
Acne and breakouts can affect people at different stages of life, and the underlying factors can vary considerably from person to person.
For some people, the main concern is active or recurring breakouts. For others, it may be the pigmentation, texture or scarring that remains afterwards.
Factors associated with acne may include oil production, blocked pores, bacteria, hormones, genetics and other individual factors.
Understanding your individual skin and the type of concern you're experiencing is an important first step before determining an appropriate approach.
At Allure Cosmetics, Dr Andrew Chow can assess your skin and discuss whether your concerns may be appropriate for treatment within the clinic or whether another management approach should be considered.
Where appropriate, OBSERV 520x skin analysis may also be used as part of your assessment.
