Overview
What is medical acne treatment?
Medical acne care combines topical and, where appropriate, oral treatment with a plan for the marks that acne leaves behind. Treatment is selected according to the type and severity of acne and reviewed at defined intervals.
Every plan at Own Skin Dermatology & Advanced Aesthetics begins with a consultation, an honest assessment of what will help, and what will not.

The science
How medical acne treatment works
Reduces follicular blockage and abnormal keratinisation
01
Grade and subtype
Comedonal, inflammatory, nodulocystic and hormonal patterns are distinguished, because each needs a different plan.
02
Treat adequately
Prescribed treatment is used at the right strength and for the full duration rather than stopped at first improvement.
03
Prevent recurrence
Maintenance therapy and scar-risk management continue after the active phase settles.
Addresses hormonal or bacterial factors where these are contributing
