Adult acne treatment in Dubai — for women and men
Many patients first get acne — or get it back — in their twenties to forties. Products that worked as a teenager often fail on adult skin.
Adult acne often appears on the jawline and chin and is linked to hormones, stress, cosmetics and genetics. A dermatologist chooses between prescription creams, hormonal options for suitable women, antibiotics for short courses or isotretinoin, while preventing scars.
Key facts
- Jawline and chin pattern common
- Hormones, stress, cosmetics
- Prescription treatment
- Scar prevention from the start
Acne in women
Hormonal acne flares around periods and on the lower face; hormonal assessment and treatment options can help.
Acne in men
Often more oily and inflammatory, sometimes linked to shaving irritation, supplements or gym routines.
Preventing marks and scars
Early, effective treatment and avoiding picking prevent dark marks and scarring, which are harder to treat than acne.
Acne is a medical skin condition. Effective treatment matches the type — comedonal, inflammatory, hormonal or cystic — and prevents scarring.
