What is acne vulgaris?
Acne is one of the most common skin diseases in adolescents and is characterized by papules, pustules, blackheads and pus-filled lumps. The face and back are particularly frequently affected.
In order to prevent serious progression and scarring, early and targeted treatment of acne is crucial. We offer individual solutions aimed at alleviating these unpleasant symptoms and preventing the formation of acne scars.
What is adult acne?
Late acne, also known as acne tarda, mainly affects women over the age of 25. This form of acne manifests itself in particular through blemished skin, lumps and cysts as well as deposits of dark pigment.
How does acne develop?
The causes of acne are increased activity of the sebaceous glands, blockage of the sebaceous ducts by skin cells (keratinization) and bacterial overgrowth with the bacterium Propionibacterium acnes.
The factors mentioned above lead to a complex inflammatory reaction in which papules, pustules and comedones form.
The face, back and upper half of the body are most frequently affected. Acne in children and adolescents is often self-limiting, but should be treated in good time to avoid acne scars.
What causes acne?
When treating acne, it is essential to consider potential triggers that can exacerbate the skin problems. These include:
- The use of unsuitable or excessively oily skin care products and sun creams.
- Hormonal changes such as an irregular menstrual cycle, stopping the pill, pregnancy and PCO syndrome.
- Nicotine, alcohol and certain medications.
- High humidity and dirt particles.
In some patients, dietary factors such as the consumption of sugar, dairy products or oily foods can also play a role. However, the connection with psychological factors such as stress is controversial

For our patients whose skin has large pores or is already affected by acne scars, we offer a variety of treatment options. These include laser treatments, fruit acid peels and PRP treatments in combination with microneedling. In some cases, it may be necessary to inject deeper scars with dermal fillers.
The selection of the appropriate treatment depends on various factors, including the location, area, depth and size of the pores or scars.
