At Shellharbour Skin, our focus on managing acne at Shellharbour Skin means you receive personalised care and a thorough discussion of your options.
After nearly 20 years in the skin industry, our approach to acne management has become a specialty at Shellharbour Skin. Having experienced severe teenage cystic acne and undergone oral medication myself, I became passionate about exploring options for acne. I wanted to support patients struggling with this challenging condition.
Our Approach to Acne Management at Shellharbour Skin
Today, there are many management options available, and a multimodal approach is often discussed for long-term support. Every day, patients come to us at Shellharbour Skin seeking help with managing acne. They value our dedicated focus and know that our tailored approach is central to their journey.
The Complexity of Acne
Acne Has Complex Causes: Acne develops from a mix of factors such as hormonal changes, genetics, bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes), inflammation, and excess sebum production. During consultations, we work to discuss each individual’s potential triggers—an essential step in our acne management process.
For more detailed information on acne causes, visit the American Academy of Dermatology or visit Dermnet the world’s leading free Dermatology website.
Different Types of Acne: Acne can present as whiteheads, blackheads, cystic acne, and more. Each type may be approached differently, and what suits one person may not suit another. Our customised management plans at Shellharbour Skin are tailored to meet each patient’s unique needs.
Sensitive and Resistant Skin: Acne-prone skin can be sensitive to certain products, and over time, the skin’s response can change. Our approach focuses on suitability and skin tolerance to support you in your long-term management.
Emotional Impact: Acne can significantly affect self-esteem and mental health. At Shellharbour Skin, we recognise that managing acne isn’t just about addressing the skin—it’s about supporting your overall well-being.
