Professional assessment and treatment of acne

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions and can affect both teenagers and adults. Outbreaks can be painful, affect self-confidence and take up a lot of space in everyday life. At CPH Privathospital you will meet dermatologists with extensive experience in assessing and treating acne of all severities. We take your symptoms seriously and work purposefully to create a treatment that provides calm, fewer outbreaks and more stable skin.

We treat

We offer assessment and treatment of:

  • Acne that leaves scars or discolouration
  • Mild, moderate and severe acne
  • Inflamed spots and pimples
  • Deep cysts and nodules
  • Acne on the face, chest and back

Acne can arise from many causes – hormonal changes, heredity, stress, skincare or medication. Therefore, a thorough assessment is crucial to finding the right treatment.

How the examination proceeds

During the consultation we review your symptoms, your medical history and any previous treatments. The doctor assesses the condition of the skin, the extent of the acne and whether there are signs of inflammation or deeper skin changes.

We also discuss skincare, lifestyle and factors that can worsen outbreaks, so you receive a comprehensive plan that makes sense in everyday life.

Treatment

Treatment is planned according to how pronounced your acne is and how your skin responds. It can include:

  • Medicated creams and ointments
  • Tablet treatment – e.g. antibiotics or isotretinoin for severe acne
  • Advice on skincare and management of outbreaks
  • Treatment of skin infection if necessary
  • Prevention of scars and discolouration

Acne and scars

If acne has left scars or uneven skin texture, we assess how this can best be treated. Some scars improve spontaneously when the acne is under control, while others require targeted treatment. We will discuss this with you when the acne has stabilised.

A safe and holistic pathway

Acne can be frustrating and affect both mood and self-perception. At CPH Privathospital you receive a pathway with time, clear guidance and ongoing follow-up. We work on the basis of high professional standards and short waiting times, and you can always ask if anything is unclear.

You receive a treatment that is based on you and your skin – with the goal of fewer outbreaks and an everyday life where the skin takes up less space.
