What is it?

About Acne

Acne is a skin condition in which the sebaceous glands and hair follicles become inflamed, leading to pimples, blackheads, cysts and redness — mainly on the face but also on the back and chest. Acne can appear at any age and often has an emotional impact. The causes are varied: hormonal fluctuations, genetic predisposition, stress, incorrect skincare or diet. At SKIN we thoroughly analyse your skin and choose the treatment that fits your unique situation.

Questions? We have answers.

How many treatments do I need for acne?

This varies per person and type of acne. On average we recommend a course of 6–10 treatments spread over 3–6 months. During the consultation we give a personalised indication.

What is the difference between acne and blemishes?

Blemishes (such as blackheads and small pimples) are a milder form. Acne is a chronic inflammatory condition in which the sebaceous glands are structurally overactive. Professional treatment is necessary for true acne.

Is the treatment painful?

Most treatments are very tolerable. During extractions and peels you may feel a mild burning or pressing sensation. Our specialists always adjust the intensity to your comfort level.

Can I go out immediately after the treatment?

After most treatments you can go straight out. The skin may be slightly redder for the first few hours. We advise waiting 24 hours before applying make-up and avoiding intense sun exposure.

Does my health insurance cover the treatment?

SKIN works with various health insurers. In some cases (parts of) acne treatments are reimbursed through supplementary insurance. Contact us for the latest reimbursement options.

Which home-care products do you recommend for acne?

That depends on your skin type and severity of the acne. We work with professional brands such as Dermalogica, Mesoestetic and Alpha-H. Our specialist draws up a personalised product recommendation after the consultation.
