This is the appearance of acne in women after the age of 20, which either first appears at this age or continues from adolescence. Factors of the occurrence of this type of acne are considered modern lifestyle, stress, the use of many and incorrect cosmetics, smoking and hormonal disorders.

General principles of acne treatment

Treatment of acne should always be carried out after a detailed examination of the patient and his history and be absolutely personalized. In women, the frequency of menstruation, the degree of hair growth, as well as the use of cosmetic products should be regularly discussed. The patient’s compliance with each treatment regimen is a key success factor. It usually takes 8-10 weeks to assess effectiveness. The duration of most oral treatments is at least 3-6 months.

• Personalized use of dermocosmetics
• Medical facial cleansing
