Here is a QnA with our doctor: 

1. How many acne patients you see acne presentations in your clinic. 

Acne treatment and management is essentially bread and butter for our skin clinic. Acne is such a common condition, and a lot of people can be affected by acne at some stages of our lives. We increasingly understand that it does not only affect teenagers but also young adults and people in their 30s or 40s.  The recent pandemic and mask wearing also meant we see a lot of mask induced acne. We have also noticed increasing prevalence of hormonal acne from conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

At L2 Skin and Beauty, we have a holistic approach to managing acne, starting with thorough consultation and individualised assessment. We tailor make our management to each patient’s unique situation by combining prescription medication, energy based devices and medical grade skin care. Most importantly, we provide our patients with lifestyle advices and comprehensive educations on this condition, as we believe having knowledge and understanding on acne can empower patient in their own treatment journey, and provide better long term results and patient satisfaction. 

2. Whether you ask about medication history when diagnosing acne

Acne is a medical condition, therefore managing acne is no different to managing other medical issues. As a medical clinician, thorough medication history is crucial part of all consultations. Not only it is important to identify if patient is on a certain medication that contributes to their acne, it is also important to know what medication they are already on, to avoid interactions with potential acne treating prescription medications. 

3. Whether you consider or identify certain medication as possible cause of acne

During our initial acne consultation, I take the patient on a journey with me to together explore potential internal and external factors that would contribute to their acne. Medication can be a common trigger or contributing factor, this include certain hormonal contraceptions and corticosteroid. Sometimes we might be able to offer changes to their medication, for example changing the form of hormonal contraception when its deemed appropriate. 

4. Whether you consider or see mental health impacts of acne when seeing your patients

As medical practitioners, we always approach each medical condition from “bio, psycho, social” perspectives, it is the same when it comes to acne management. We do not only treat acne as a biological or medical issue, we also need to look at the psychological and social impact associated with dealing with this condition, which can sometimes be profound. A part of our job is to treat the ailment, but a equally important responsibility is to make sure our patient can feel confident about themselves. 

What should I do next?
