acne
For many, the struggle with acne begins during the sensitive phase of puberty. Due to the hormonal changes during this time, sebum production in the sebaceous glands increases significantly.
At the same time, the excretory ducts can become hardened, increasing the risk of clogged pores. This results in blackheads, pimples, and sometimes painful inflammation on the face, back, or chest.
Although impure skin is widespread, only a small percentage of those affected develop moderate to severe acne requiring treatment. In such cases, professional acne treatment by experienced dermatologists is recommended.

Targeted treatment of acne: From mild to severe
We help you treat the disease in every form through individual therapies and achieve long-term relief.
Mild acne: In this mild form, isolated pimples and blackheads appear. This skin condition often begins during puberty, when hormones stimulate sebum production and clog pores.
Moderate acne: This is characterized by significantly more blemishes. In addition to blackheads, inflammatory papules develop. This usually requires targeted acne treatment.
Severe acne: This form is characterized by numerous papules, pustules, and nodules. Without early treatment, acne scars often remain.
Acne is a common skin condition characterized by the formation of blackheads, pimples, pustules and nodules on the skin. It occurs mainly during puberty, but can also occur in adults. The exact cause of acne is complex and can be influenced by various factors.
One of the main causes of acne is the excessive production of sebum in the skin's sebaceous glands. This excess sebum can clog pores and promote the formation of blackheads. When bacteria settle in the clogged pores, inflammation and infection can occur, leading to pimples and pustules.
Hormonal changes also play an important role in the development of acne. During puberty, the production of hormones such as testosterone increases, which can lead to increased sebum production. Hormonal fluctuations during the menstrual cycle or pregnancy can also promote acne breakouts.
Other factors that can contribute to the development of acne include genetic predisposition, certain medications (e.g. steroids or antidepressants), stress, unhealthy diet (e.g. fatty or sugary foods) and incorrect skin care products.
