Studies have shown that people with acne are more likely to suffer from anxiety and depression.

63% of people with acne are more likely to suffer from anxiety with a higher risk of developing depression compared to those without acne. While approximately 50% report avoiding social interactions due to their skin condition, which can lead to social withdrawal and isolation.

June is Acne Awareness Month, so doctors Drs Tatiana + Rishi Mandavia aim to raise awareness of this extremely common skin condition (that can affect all ages), the severe emotional impact it can have on sufferers and treatment options out there that don’t include medication and potential systemic side effects.

The team are advocates for innovation and safety within aesthetics, delivering training across the globe to impart their experience with other medical professionals. They are proud a clinic in the UK that offers their patients AviClear; the first FDA-approved laser to treat mild, moderate and severe acne with lasting clearance, suitable for all skin colours and types. 

AviClear is a new treatment for acne, the most common dermatological skin condition affecting over 50 million people in North America. It is a laser treatment that is safe for all skin types and tones, providing clearance without significant side eftects after three, 30-minute treatments.  

With approximately 70% of indaviduals reporting that acne has a negative effect on their self-esteem and self-confidence, new treatments are sure to make a difference in their lives.
