Acne Treatments
Almost everyone suffers from acne at some point. A pimple may be ugly, but not problematic. It’s more annoying when acne covers large areas of the face or doesn’t disappear after puberty (it can even appear after your 30th!)
While it’s not proven that acne is caused by eating certain foods, there is a connection. The condition originates when sebaceous glands overproduce excessively, causing pores to become clogged. Our sebaceous glands are driven by hormones, which our nutrition affects. If you delete all sugars from your diet for a while and you’ll often see an improvement. Acne usually happens on the face, neck, chest and back.
Do you suffer from pimples? Stop acne from becoming a serious skin problem and causing unsightly scars by consulting our professional at Shreem Madhava Skin Care Clinic.

Possible therapeutic treatment methods in case of acne
Depth-cleansing
The emphasis of the therapy will be on the thorough cleansing and maintaining the cleanliness of the skin. We can do this in different ways, depending on several factors such as the severity of the acne, sensitivity of the skin and medication use.
Peeling treatments
Sometimes we treat the skin using a peeling treatment (a liquid with a peeling effect), after which the removal of pimples and blackheads can start. In this treatment, the pimples and blackheads are cleansed of puss and tallow in a sterile way using pressure. During this treatment we often recommend certain calming and caring products for the skin; sometimes it is better to calm the skin completely.
Microdermabrasion
A supplement to the acne treatment is applying microdermabrasion. This is a method where the skin is scrubbed using aluminium-oxide crystals. They quickly make the skin smoother, reduce any acne scars and improves the blood circulation in the skin so that the entire skin looks fresher and more healthy. As the skin is smoother, the sebaceous glands don’t tend to get clogged or infected as easily.
