    ACNE

    What Is Acne?

    There are actually two types of Acne - Acne Vulgaris, which are the usual tennage 'spots' - and Acne Rosacea, which is a red inflammed skin found usually on the cheeks and across the nose.

    Both conditions are associated with inflammation in the skin, and Acne Vulgaris may also be associated with infection in the sweat glands of the skin.

    Acne Vulgaris may also be associated with hormonal changes in the body, and an increased sensitivity of the skin to testosterone.

    Acne Rosacea may be associated with other auto-immune conditions, and a more systemic approach may be required.

    How Can We Help?

    We offer a caring, alternative approach to your needs.

    We specialise in Complementary & Alternative Medicine, and there is much that can be done to help both types of Acne with this approach.

    Each person is dealt with individually. Each person’s needs are different. The actual treatment will vary from person to person.

    There are a number of therapies and treatments that can help with Acne, and different approaches benefit different people. There are a number of different factors that need to be taken into consideration, and the best way of deciding which approach will benefit any individual person may be to carry out certain tests

    Following a initial consultation, you will be advised as to the best approach for your particular needs.

    What Tests Do You Need?

    A number of tests may be of benefit, including the following:

    • Allergy Test
    • Full Body Screening
    • Hormone Test
    • Vitamin and Mineral (Nutritional Assessment)

    We would recommend a Vitamin and Mineral test as a bare minimum, followed by a Hormone Test possibly in Acne Vulgaris.

    Further testing, for example Full Body Screening, may be recommended if there is any evidence that the condition is part of a more widespread problem. This is occasionally the case particularly in Acne Rosacea.

    What Advice Do You Get?

    The actual advice given depends on the results of the tests carried out. Different treatments are required depending on these results.

    As we specialise in Complementary and Alternative Medicine, our treatments are based on this.

    Often in Acne there needs to be some dietary changes and comprehensive advice is given on any necessary changes. Often nutritional supplements are required to correct any vitamin and / or mineral deficiencies. Herbal and homoeopathic medicines are often used in Acne and are most useful in helping to control the symptoms and relieve the condition.

    Other therapies may also be useful.

    A treatment programme is recommended following any tests carried out.

    How Successful Is Our Treatment?

    Our treatment programmes are usually very successful. We often succeed where others have failed.

    The reason for this is due to the tests carried out – which enables us to tailor the treatments according to the specific needs of the individual – and also due to the experience we have gained over the years together with the efficacy of our unique, specialised products – herbal, homoeopathic and nutritional.

    Most – if not all – of our patients with Acne have benefited from out treatment programmes. However, the treatment does take time, and you should expect a course of treatment to last a minimum of 10 - 12 weeks.

    How Much Does it Cost?

    It is impossible to estimate the cost in any individual person, as the treatment recommended will vary from person to person.

    The tests that may be required also vary in cost, and further information may be found together with information relating to each specific test.

    The costs of individual therapies and products also differ, and you should refer to current price lists, or make enquiries at the Clinic.

    We always offer a FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION, and further information regarding cost may be discussed at this time.
