Disclaimer
All treatments require a formal consultation with Dr Omarjee prior to any treatment. During this consultation, patients' concerns are carefully assessed, and a personalised treatment plan is developed. This includes discussing the nature of the proposed treatment(s), alternative treatments, potential risks and relevant complications, aftercare instructions, and the costs involved. It also allows time for patients to ask questions.
While The DOC Clinic offers a range of options for acne scar treatment in Melbourne, these procedures are not usually suitable for patients with active acne. In such cases, active medical management may be discussed to help address acne while it is ongoing.
The Form Of Medical Treatment For Active Acne Will Be Dependent Upon A Number Of Factors, Including:
- How severe your acne is.
- The current status of your overall health and medical history.
- Your body’s degree of tolerance to the specific procedures and medications, such as oral acne treatment antibiotics.
- Your treatment preferences and opinions on particular options.
Treatment Options
Management of acne can involve a range of approaches. Some options are only available after a consultation and assessment of your individual needs. The most suitable plan will depend on the type and severity of your acne, topical skincare treatments from our Toskani range, as well as your skin characteristics. These details can be discussed with you during your consultation.
There is no single approach that suits everyone when it comes to managing active acne – whether with a dermatologist or other health professional. Patients may need to try different products or combinations as part of their treatment plan. Addressing active acne early may help lower the chance of developing scarring.
