Overview
Effective, evidence-based acne treatment
Acne affects up to 95% of people aged 11–30, and a significant proportion of adults. Despite its prevalence, acne is frequently undertreated — with patients cycling through over-the-counter products for years before accessing prescription treatments that are far more effective.
Dr Qurbain takes a structured approach to acne: assessing severity (mild, moderate, severe), skin type, hormonal contribution, scarring risk and prior treatment response before agreeing an appropriate plan. Doctor-led topical and oral treatment, and hormonal management, are all considered where clinically appropriate.
How we treat acne
Doctor-led treatment approaches
💊 Topical Treatment
Topical treatments applied to the skin are a mainstay of acne care and can also help with skin texture over time. Where clinically appropriate, Dr Qurbain recommends a suitable option with full instructions on how to use it, sun protection and managing the initial adaptation period.
🔴 Oral Treatment
For more inflammatory acne, doctor-led oral treatment may be considered where clinically appropriate, with careful attention to appropriate duration and responsible prescribing to minimise the risk of resistance.
🌞 Hormonal Management for Women
Hormonal acne in women (typically flaring around the jaw and chin) may have an underlying hormonal contribution. Dr Qurbain assesses this and, where appropriate, includes hormonal management as part of the personalised treatment plan.
⚙ Skincare Optimisation
The wrong skincare routine can worsen acne. Dr Qurbain reviews your current products and provides evidence-based recommendations on cleanser, moisturiser, SPF and active ingredients compatible with your treatment plan.
