Conditions We Treat

​

Acne

Acne is a common inflammatory skin condition that can affect people of all ages. While often associated with adolescence, acne can persist or develop in adulthood and may lead to scarring or changes in skin pigmentation.​ We assess the type and severity of your acne, identify potential contributing factors, and develop a treatment plan tailored to your skin. Treatment options may include individualised medical treatment plans, skincare and selected procedural treatments where clinically appropriate.

​

Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that commonly affects the central face, causing persistent redness, flushing, visible blood vessels and, in some cases, acne-like bumps or pustules.

Effective management begins with recognising the different features of rosacea and understanding individual triggers. Our consultations focus on accurate diagnosis, reducing inflammation, managing flare-ups and improving long-term skin health through appropriate evidence-based medical management, skincare and lifestyle strategies.

​

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory condition that causes areas of thickened, red or discoloured, scaly skin. It may affect the scalp, elbows, knees and other areas of the body.

Beyond the skin, psoriasis can also be associated with joint symptoms and other health conditions.

We assess the extent and severity of your psoriasis, consider its impact on your daily life, and develop an individualised management plan. Treatment may include appropriate medical treatments, supportive skincare and referral for specialist treatment where required.

​

Eczema

Eczema is an inflammatory skin conditions that can cause dryness, redness, itching, irritation and disruption of the skin's protective barrier. Symptoms may be persistent or occur in recurring flare-ups, often influenced by environmental exposures, irritants or other individual factors.​ Our approach focuses on identifying the type of eczema, restoring the skin barrier, controlling inflammation and reducing the frequency and severity of flare-ups. Treatment plans may include treatments to manage inflammation, moisturising regimens, trigger management and practical strategies for long-term skin care.
