Why does acne develop?
Acne is the result of several factors: increased sebum production, thickening of the skin and clogged pores, overgrowth of the Cutibacterium acnes bacteria, hormonal imbalance, as well as genetic predisposition, stress, poor diet or unsuitable cosmetics. It can appear on the face, back, chest and shoulders. It is not just a surface problem – untreated acne can leave permanent scars and marks and significantly affect quality of life.
What does treatment at Menssana Hospital look like?
An individual approach is the most important part of acne therapy. We begin with a dermatological examination of the skin, hormonal or laboratory tests if needed, and advice on proper skin care and lifestyle habits. Then, depending on the type and severity of the acne, we use a combination of topical therapy (creams, gels, lotions), systemic therapy (antibiotics, hormonal treatments or isotretinoin) and medical treatments (chemical peels, cleansing, LED therapy), together with advice on diet and skin hygiene. Acne requires patience and continuity, which is why we provide ongoing support, monitor results and adjust the therapy to the condition of the skin.
Why shouldn't you treat acne on your own?
Unsuitable cosmetics, squeezing spots and aggressive methods can make the condition worse, prolong inflammation and lead to permanent scarring. Only a dermatologist can determine the real cause and the appropriate therapy, because acne is not the same in every patient.
Our dermatology team combines experience, modern protocols and a careful approach to every patient. Whether your acne is mild or severe, in puberty or adulthood, at Menssana you will receive a comprehensive and effective solution.
