Acne and rosacea treatment

Acne and rosacea are two common skin conditions that sometimes resemble each other, but each requires its own tailored treatment.

Acne does not only affect teenagers: adults — and women in particular — can suffer from it too. Left untreated, acne can moreover leave permanent scars and pigment spots. That is why, at our clinic in Gent, we treat the skin in a structured and tailored way.

Acne is mainly caused by increased sebum production, clogged pores and bacterial activity. Rosacea is a chronic condition characterised by redness and visible blood vessels (couperose), often aggravated by heat, alcohol, stress or temperature fluctuations.

We combine medical expertise with high-quality skincare to improve the skin in a lasting way:

Medication therapy (topical or systemic) to reduce inflammation and calm the skin.

Facial treatments aimed at cleansing the pores and restoring the skin barrier.

Peels to refine the skin texture and address impurities.

Microneedling (combined with plasma injections) for skin improvement and regeneration of the skin surface.

Laser treatments, adapted to the diagnosis:

◦ For acne: fractional laser to improve scars, texture and complexion.

◦ For rosacea: vascular laser to specifically reduce visible blood vessels and diffuse redness.

Our goal is to guide every patient towards calm, healthy and confident skin, with a treatment that precisely matches his or her skin condition.
