Acne
At Novum Skin & Wellness, we understand that acne can take many forms and affect people of all ages. It’s important to recognise that acne is not just about the surface of the skin—it's often a deeper issue that requires a tailored approach. With the right plan and treatment, you can achieve clearer, healthier skin.
Understanding Acne
Acne is a common skin condition that can manifest in a variety of ways, from blackheads and whiteheads to cystic acne, inflamed breakouts, or even scarring. It can be caused by a range of factors, including hormonal changes, stress, diet, genetics, and environmental factors. Acne typically results from clogged pores, excess oil production, or an imbalance in the skin’s natural processes.
However, acne doesn’t look the same for everyone. It can appear on the face, chest, back, and shoulders, and can be mild, moderate, or severe. It is crucial to identify the type and cause of acne before embarking on a treatment plan.
Common Acne Myths
“Drying out the skin will help clear acne.”
Many people believe that using harsh products to dry out the skin will help control acne. However, this approach can actually damage the skin barrier, leading to dehydration and an overproduction of oil. This can worsen acne over time. A balanced approach that maintains skin hydration while treating acne is key.“Acne is only caused by oily skin.”
While excess oil is a common cause of acne, some acne-prone skin types can be dehydrated. Dehydration triggers the skin to produce even more oil as a natural defence mechanism. Therefore, it’s essential to find the right balance—hydration combined with treatments that regulate oil production.
Why a Consultation is Important
Acne can take many forms and require different approaches. That's why having a personalised consultation is essential. At Novum Skin & Wellness, we take the time to evaluate your skin type, the severity of your acne, and any underlying factors contributing to it. This allows us to create a targeted treatment plan that best suits your skin’s needs and helps you achieve the desired results without causing further damage.
