Acne is a multifactorial skin disease that now affects all ages. Increased skin oiliness, idiosyncratic narrowing or blockage of the sebaceous pores and Propionibacterium acnes contribute to the classic picture of adolescent acne. In modern dermatology we now also deal with other common forms of acne that are due to various hormonal, genetic, pharmaceutical causes or skin care habits (inappropriate dermocosmetics) or nutrition, such as:

• Common Acne
• Acne Scars
• Peristomal Acne / Dermatitis
• Rosacea / Disease
• Medication-Related Acne
• Hormonal Acne
• Cystic Acne

At Dermatologicum, we provide a holistic approach to acne, starting with identifying and treating the causes and offering the appropriate treatment. We specialize in the following treatments:

• Chemical Peeling (fruit acids, salicylic acid, TCA) for the treatment of clogged skin pores and/or inflammatory acne. The acids used cleanse the clogged skin pores and act antimicrobially against Propionibacterium acnes. Their abrasive and bleaching action also treats hyperpigmentation and mild acne scars. The treatment requires 3-6 sessions every 2-3 weeks along with appropriate topical treatment.

• Fractional laser for the treatment of acne scars. This is the most modern and revolutionary treatment for all acne scars. Often combined with other methods such as chemical peeling or PRP, the smoothing of even the most demanding acne scars is achieved. Usually 2-3 sessions are required every 3 weeks, along with appropriate local treatment.
