• Diet and Lifestyle: Diets high in refined sugars and dairy products can trigger acne, along with lifestyle factors such as stress or poor skincare habits.
• Genetics: A family history of acne may make you more prone to the condition.
• Medications: Certain medications, including corticosteroids and birth control pills, can contribute to acne flare-ups.

To effectively treat acne, the dermatologists at Emerald Avenue Medical Clinic in JBR, Dubai Marina begin with a thorough diagnostic approach:

• Medical History Review: We assess your skin’s condition, lifestyle, diet, and any medications you may be taking.
• Physical Examination: The doctor will examine your skin to determine the type and severity of acne.
• Skin Tests: In some cases, the dermatologist may perform additional tests to check for underlying conditions such as hormonal imbalances or bacterial infections.
• Scarring Assessment: If acne has caused scarring, the doctor will assess the extent of scarring to recommend the best treatment options.

At Emerald Avenue Medical Clinic, we offer various acne treatments tailored to your specific needs. The following are some of the most effective treatments available:

• Topical Treatments: Creams, gels, and lotions containing ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce acne-causing bacteria and prevent clogged pores.
• Oral Medications: Antibiotics or oral contraceptives (for hormonal acne) to reduce inflammation and control oil production.
• Chemical Peels: A gentle exfoliation procedure that helps clear clogged pores, reduces acne scars, and improves overall skin texture.
• Laser Treatment: Laser therapies like Fractional CO2 Laser or PDT (Photodynamic Therapy) can target deep layers of the skin to reduce oil production, kill acne bacteria, and treat scarring.
• PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy: Using your own blood to accelerate healing, PRP can be an effective treatment for acne scars and inflammation.
• Microdermabrasion: A non-invasive treatment that exfoliates the skin and can help improve the appearance of acne scars.
