Acne

Acne is a complex inflammatory skin condition that affects both teenagers and adults and can significantly impact skin health, confidence and long-term skin quality. At Beauttitude Medical Clinic in Sale, Greater Manchester, acne treatment focuses on identifying the underlying causes of breakouts and creating personalised, doctor-led treatment plans .

Understanding Acne — Why It Happens?

Acne occurs when hair follicles become blocked by oil (sebum), dead skin cells and inflammation. This creates an environment where bacteria multiply, leading to breakouts.

Acne is not simply caused by “dirty skin” — it is a complex biological condition involving multiple skin processes.

Acne lesions may include:

• Blackheads
• Whiteheads
• Inflamed spots
• Deep cystic lesions
• Persistent redness
• Post-acne marks or scars

Why Acne Develops — The Science Behind Breakouts

Four main mechanisms contribute to acne formation:

1️⃣ Excess Sebum Production

Hormonal stimulation increases oil production, leading to clogged pores.

2️⃣ Abnormal Skin Cell Turnover

Dead skin cells accumulate instead of shedding normally, blocking follicles.

3️⃣ Inflammation

Inflammatory responses within the skin worsen redness and swelling.

4️⃣ Bacterial Overgrowth

Cutibacterium acnes bacteria thrive within blocked pores.

Because multiple mechanisms are involved, acne treatment requires a multi-layered approach.

 Types of Acne

Understanding acne type helps guide treatment decisions.

Comedonal Acne

Blackheads and whiteheads caused by congestion.

Inflammatory Acne

Red, swollen lesions linked to inflammation.

Hormonal (Adult) Acne

Often affects jawline and lower face in adults.

Cystic Acne

Deeper, painful lesions with higher scarring risk.

Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation

Dark marks left after breakouts heal.

Common Acne Triggers

Acne may be influenced by:

• Hormonal fluctuations
• Stress and cortisol levels
• Incorrect skincare products
• Over-exfoliation
• Diet and lifestyle factors
• Skin barrier damage
• Genetics

Identifying triggers is essential for long-term improvement.

Adult Acne: Why It Is Increasing?

Adult acne is becoming more common due to:

• Chronic stress
• Hormonal fluctuations
• Skin barrier disruption

Adult skin often requires gentler regenerative approaches rather than aggressive treatments.

I first visited Dr Gabs for acne scarring and have already seen such a noticeable difference after just one treatment! She really took the time to listen to my concerns and advise with such knowledge and detail, and I cannot wait to continue the journey with her moving forward.

The procedure I tried combined deep skin rejuvenation with hydration and glow enhancement, using targeted micro-injections and professional skincare formulas. The treatment felt comfortable — no pain, minimal redness, and zero downtime. My skin immediately looked smoother, firmer, and more luminous, with a visible reduction in dullness and fine lines. Over the next few days, the glow only got better.

It’s ideal for anyone who wants instant radiance and long-lasting hydration without invasive procedures. Definitely worth it if you’re looking to refresh tired or uneven skin quickly and safely!

I went to see Dr. Gabriela as I was turning 40 and wanted to try Botox and a skin treatment for the first time. From the moment I met her, Dr. Gabs was absolutely amazing — warm, professional, and incredibly supportive. She took the time to explain every single step of the process, answered all my questions with care, and made sure I felt comfortable and confident throughout.

Her attention to detail and gentle approach made the whole experience so reassuring. My skin has never looked better — fresh, natural, and glowing — and I’m so happy with my results. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. Highly recommend Dr. Gabriela to anyone thinking about starting their skin journey!

It was my first time visiting Dr Gabriella a few weeks back, she was recommended by a friend. She was very professional and explained everything clearly, giving recommendations but not in a pushy way. A very friendly and kind person, who put me at ease as soon as I arrived. I had Botox on my frown and eye area and a month on I’m loving the results - very subtle but exactly what I wanted. I will definitely be a regular customer from now on and I would definitely recommend. Thank you so much Dr Gabriella - you’re amazing!

Dr Gabriella is absolutely brilliant! I have had treatment from her for many years and have followed her as she changed clinics because she is so good at her job. Having previously tried out other well known clinics I have found her to be far superior. She is extremely experienced, professional and knowledgeable. She is honest in her advice to her clients, and never seems pushy. I could not recommend her enough.

Love the professional style of Dr Gabs. She will ask the right questions and offer advice on treatments and products to use in a non pushy style. You can see her expertise and experience in the way she injects. This was one of the reasons I left my last cosmetic nurse and I won’t be leaving Dr Gabs, been very happy with the results of my Botox treatment and considering further treatments from her.
