The Condition
What is Acne?
Acne is a common inflammatory condition that develops when your hair follicles form sebum and dead skin cells. The blockage creates an ideal environment for bacteria to multiply. This results in swelling and blemishes such as pimples, blackheads, and painful cysts.
While acne begins during the teenage years, it can suddenly appear well into adulthood due to hormonal fluctuations. Our professional aesthetic treatments focus on deeply exfoliating the skin, controlling bacteria, and calming the underlying inflammation to help you achieve a smooth, clear complexion.
The Triggers
What Causes Acne?
The causes of acne can be several internal and external triggers.
Hormonal Changes
An increase in androgens (male hormones) during puberty, menstruation, or pregnancy enlarges oil glands, leading to acne.
Genetics
If your parents experienced severe acne, you have a much higher likelihood of developing it too.
Dietary Factors
Consuming food high in sugar, refined carbohydrates, or certain dairy products can worsen inflammation and trigger flare-ups.
Stress
Stress may significantly increase cortisol levels, which further worsens existing acne.
Medications & Products
Certain steroid-based medications or heavy, oil-based cosmetics can severely clog delicate pores.
Know the Signs
Types of Acne
Acne can range from very mild to severe. It mainly appears where oil glands are most active:
Whiteheads: Closed, plugged pores that look like tiny white bumps on the skin.
Blackheads: Open, plugged pores that appear dark due to exposed oil and dead skin.
Papules: Small, tender, and pink or red bumps.
Pustules (Pimples): Red, inflamed spots topped with a white or yellow pus-filled centre.
Cysts and Nodules: Large, hard, and painful lumps forming deep beneath the skin's surface.

Natural & Balanced
I’ve had such an amazing experience here.💕 I’ve now been twice for lip filler and today I had chin filler, and every time the results have been incredible. He is honestly the best so kind, friendly, and professional. He takes the time to explain everything and makes you feel completely at ease. I felt really comfortable knowing my face was in good hands, which is so important with treatments like this. The results are exactly what I wanted, very natural and balanced. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and would highly recommend to anyone thinking about aesthetic treatments. Thank you so much!
Well Looked After
Firstly a consultation and peel with Swathi, she really took the time to listen and give me appropriate advice on how to rejuvenate my skin, which is exactly what I hoped for. Dr Naren removed a milia for me, it was swift, professional and healed very quickly with perfect results. Both of them have an absolutely lovely manner which puts you at ease, instills trust and makes you feel well looked after. I look forward to continuing my treatments with them.
Long-Term Natural Results
If you’re looking to enhance your natural beauty, Dr Naren is simply the man for the job. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. He takes his time, ensures you are comfortable and knowledgeable about what can be achieved. He focuses on long-term natural results rather than quick fixes. My enhanced natural beauty has replaced my previous artificial, unsightly era. I’m sure he applies the same care and magic to all his clients.
In Safe Hands
From the first meeting with Dr Naren I knew I was in safe hands. It was obvious he had the experience and expertise to advise and deliver the best aesthetic advice and treatment for me. He is approachable and very personable. I am delighted with my results and will be returning for sure.

Had an amazing experience at The Skin Firm thanks to Swathi, who took great care in creating a plan to treat my adult acne and aging concerns.
