Acne is a complex skin disease with multiple contributing factors. While it commonly appears during adolescence, many adults continue to experience breakouts well into their 30s, 40s and beyond.
Excess sebum production and blocked pores
Bacterial infection leading to inflammation
Hormonal changes, including puberty, pregnancy, menopause, and polycystic ovaries (PCOS)
Environmental stressors, including air pollution and stress
Diet, particularly high in refined sugars, ultra-processed foods, and, in some individuals, dairy products
Genetic predisposition
Underlying hormonal imbalances
Use of pore-clogging cosmetics
Diet and lifestyle factors
Dr. Kravvas offers tailored advice to identify and minimise these triggers as part of your care plan.
Even in mild cases, early diagnosis and treatment by a dermatologist can help prevent progression, reduce inflammation, and avoid permanent scarring.
A thorough visual examination of your skin
Skin imaging or diagnostic tools as needed
Blood tests if hormonal imbalance is suspected
A clear explanation of your acne type and contributing factors
A bespoke treatment plan built around your goals
Whether you’re seeking to control breakouts or treat post-acne pigmentation and scarring, your plan will be designed just for you.
Dr. Kravvas offers a full spectrum of advanced acne therapies, from prescription treatments to cutting-edge aesthetic procedures.
Topical therapies (e.g. retinoids, benzoyl peroxide)
Oral antibiotics (e.g. Lymecycline, Doxycycline)
Hormonal treatments for women with hormonally-driven acne
Oral isotretinoin (Roaccutane) for severe or cystic acne
The correct blend of chemical peels can exfoliate the skin, unclog pores, and improve the appearance of acne. With minimal to no downtime, they’re a convenient in-clinic treatment against acne spots, pigmentary changes, and scarring.
While many treatments are available, laser therapy offers an effective alternative for patients who prefer to avoid oral medications or topical creams. Depending on the severity of acne, lasers can serve as an excellent standalone or adjunctive treatment — used alone, with topical creams, with tablets, or in combination with both.
Several laser technologies are available for acne management, including pulsed dye lasers, Nd:YAG lasers, and IPL devices with specialised “acne filters.” These treatments are typically performed over multiple sessions and are considered very safe.
Dr. Kravvas will recommend the most appropriate treatments depending on the type, severity, and cause of your acne.
For persistent or scarring acne, a course of isotretinoin (Roaccutane) can be transformative. Dr. Kravvas provides comprehensive support and monitoring throughout treatment to ensure safety and success.
With expertise across numerous state-of-the-art acne treatments, Dr. Kravvas will work with you to develop a customised care plan. By combining traditional oral and topical medications with advanced laser treatments and peels, you can enjoy lasting freedom from the symptoms of acne.
Minimal preparation is needed for most non-invasive acne treatments, but following expert guidance ensures the best results.

While acne may persist for years in some cases, modern treatments can manage symptoms effectively and prevent future scarring. In fact, around 70–80% of patients can achieve permanent remission with the right treatment plan.
Non-invasive treatments like chemical peels and laser therapy are quick and convenient, typically lasting only a few minutes per session. However, repeated treatments are often required to achieve optimal results. Medical treatments may last several months, depending on your individual response and treatment goals.
Fractional lasers and microneedling are highly effective therapies. Chemical peels and topical products may also be of help, especially if acne-related redness or pigmentation is also present.
A personalised treatment plan and proper skincare routine will help reduce the risk of recurrence. Long-term maintenance may be required in some cases with topical or hormonal treatments.
