Acne Treatment and prevention
Acne, also known as: acne vulgaris, pimples, breakouts, folliculitis, cysts, blemishes, spots, zits, blackheads, whiteheads or comedones, is a skin condition that affects the face and possibly the body.
Acne is very common among adolescents (approximately 85% experience the condition) and adults (55%), especially among adult females.
Hormones play an important role in acne. Increased hormone levels stimulate sebaceous glands to produce more sebum (oil). Sebum combines with dead skin cells to form a blackheads or whiteheads, known medically as comedones, and this can be likened to a plug in the skin. Comedones may rupture, allowing sebum to seep into the surrounding skin causing inflammation. The inflammation causes the bumps or pustules you see on your skin’s surface. Inflammation may also be quite deep-seated which may then be appreciated as nodules and cysts below the skin’s surface.
Dr Lev will first clinically assess your acne presentation and will then customise a skin care regimen for you. This may include:
Topical medication options include:acne
- Benzoyl Peroxide

Dr Lev has carefully created comprehensive management programmes incorporating topical, oral and procedural components.

At Esthetica Skin Solutions my skins needs were all addressed in just one consultation. The treatment is tailored to my skins problems and I saw results within just one week.
