Acne by LP-CLINIC
Acne is a skin disease that mainly appears in adolescence and often continues into adulthood. Acne affects a large percentage of the population at some point in their lives, but there is no way to calculate how long it will take for it to completely disappear. It is mainly due to the body's reaction to large amounts of hormones (testosterone) androgens, bacteria and common allergies to various foods.
Symptoms
The most common form of acne is Acne Vulgaris which means "common acne" and most people suffer from this type of acne. The face and upper neck are most often affected, but the back, chest and shoulders are also affected. Despite the permanent marks, acne affects the psyche more and results in low self-esteem and according to one study causes depression. Acne tends to appear in adolescence, when people are already quite insecure. Therefore, quick and intense treatment is recommended to reduce the negative effects on the individual.
Treatment
- Topical Acne Treatment
It is administered for the management of mild-to-common adolescent acne, pregnancy acne, and as an adjunct to systemic therapy. Topical treatment formulations are mostly antimicrobial or keratolytic, with the most commonly used being Benzoyl Peroxide, Retinoic Acid, Resorcinol in combination with Salicylic Acid and Sulfur, and Azelaic Acid. Furthermore, in certain cases, treatment can be applied through the topical use of an adequate dose of Ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. - Systemic Acne Treatment
In cases where acne does not subside with topical therapy, it can be managed with systemic administration of antibiotics, hormonal therapy, and systemic use of retinoids. Antibiotics form the cornerstone of eliminating acne symptoms. They must be taken for a period of at least 3 months and keep acne pimples under control until they begin to recede. Hormonal therapy primarily includes treatment with estrogens or a combination of estrogens with antiandrogens. This method is ideal for adult women who are already using contraceptive pills. The results of retinoid treatment are not immediate, and all patients develop skin dryness. Nosebleeds may be observed in patients with a relative predisposition, as well as temporary hyperlipidemia, which is why a liver test is recommended before starting treatment. One full cycle of retinoid treatment is usually sufficient. Finally, during the course of retinoid therapy, as well as for 3 months after its completion, contraception must be ensured to prevent teratogenesis (birth defects).
Other specific treatment methods are:
- Injectable Acne Treatment directly into the lesions
- Cystic Acne Treatment with Surgical Excision of Cysts
- With Autologous PRP Mesotherapy
- With Chemical Peeling
- With Facial Dermabrasion

«Η κριτική γίνεται στους 8.5 μήνες μετά την επέμβαση και 10 μέρες πριν το ραντεβού για την τελική αξιολόγηση από τον γιατρό. Μιλάμε για έναν εξαιρετικό γιατρό, που θα σε καθοδηγήσει και καθησυχάσει σε κάθε βήμα της μεταμόσχευσης μαλλιών. Θα σου λύσει κάθε απορία όσο "χαζή" και να είναι. Θα σου πει ακριβώς πως θα νιώθεις κάθε μέρα μετά την επέμβαση και πως θα αντιμετωπίσεις την όποια φαγούρα ή ενόχληση νιώσεις. Πέρα από εξαιρετικός γιατρός, είναι και φοβερός άνθρωπος. Μέχρι και κιμαδοπιτάκι που είχε φτιάξει η κόρη του προσφέρθηκε να μου δώσει το πρωί της επέμβασης! Επειδή όταν πήγα να πάρω την πρώτη αγωγή για την επέμβαση, με ρώτησε αν είχα φάει πρωινό του είχα πει όχι, γιατί ήμουν αγχωμένος. Εάν ψάχνετε που να πάτε για να φτιάξετε το πρόβλημα που αντιμετωπίζετε με την τριχόπτωση, απροβλημάτιστα και κυρίως ανώδυνα, σας τον προτείνω με κλειστά τα μάτια.»

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions and get clear and reliable information
Which Amkis treatment method should I choose?
Acne treatment is a personalized treatment, tailored to the needs and specific skin type of each patient. The dermatologist, after a clinical examination and taking into account your history, will recommend the best treatment for you.
What kind of cosmetic products do we use for acne?
The cosmetic products you use must be non-comedogenic, meaning they do not promote the development of blackheads and whiteheads. The use of unsuitable cosmetics containing ingredients such as vegetable oils, as well as the lack of meticulous facial cleansing at the end of the day, can lead to clogged pores and the appearance of acne. In any case, the dermatologist is the ultimate expert who can guide you in purchasing the appropriate cosmetic products. Additionally, makeup is allowed, but with caution, using specialized products that provide aesthetic coverage.
Does diet play a role in acne?
Diet does not cause acne. However, some acne sufferers report that their acne is worsened by eating certain foods (chocolate, fatty foods). All of these foods may have an indirect effect by causing increased oiliness.
Does sunlight affect acne?
Prolonged exposure to the sun causes sweating, which results in clogged pores and worsening acne.
