Acne doesn't have to take over their teenage years
Acne might be common during adolescence, but that doesn't mean your teenager should simply have to put up with it. When breakouts are persistent, painful or difficult to cover, they can begin to affect far more than the skin. You may notice your teenager avoiding photos, covering their face with their hair, becoming uncomfortable without makeup or pulling away from activities they once enjoyed. They might dread school photos, parties, swimming, sleepovers or simply being looked at too closely.
Some teenagers begin checking their skin every time they pass a mirror. Others stop looking altogether. And even when they insist they do not care, you may be able to see that their confidence has changed.
The Teen Skin and Gut Program provides your family with a clear, personalised path forward. This is not a one off appointment, a restrictive acne diet or another generic skincare routine. It is a supported clinical program in which I work alongside your teenager to understand what may be influencing their skin, identify what is worth investigating and adjust their treatment as their body responds.
