Although commonly associated with hormonal changes during the teenage years, acne can occur at any stage in our lives, sometimes due to hormones in pregnancy or menopause, but also as a reaction to external factors including pollution, diet, sleep and skin products. It is usually caused by the pores in our skin becoming blocked, generating excessive spots on the surface of the skin. If you suffer from acne, it is important that you avoid touching your face or picking or squeezing the affected area to prevent additional bacteria and further outbreak. At Alisha Louise Aesthetics, we understand the impact that acne can have on your self-esteem and we can help you to effectively treat the problem, providing a bespoke treatment plan to improve your skin and your confidence.
