Condition Overview
Acne
Acne is a prevalent skin condition that affects individuals of all ages, though it is most common during adolescence. It can range from mild outbreaks to severe inflammation, impacting physical appearance and emotional well-being.
At Dermasurge, we specialise in understanding acne’s root causes and providing expert-led treatments to manage and improve it effectively. Dr. Hiba Injibar, a renowned dermatologist, combines her expertise with cutting-edge solutions to help patients achieve clearer, healthier skin.
Symptoms
- Acne is a common skin condition where hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells.
- It often appears as pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, or cysts on the face, chest, shoulders, or back.
- Hormonal changes, especially during puberty, menstruation, or pregnancy, are a major cause.
- Stress, diet, and certain medications can also trigger or worsen acne.
- Bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) play a role in inflaming blocked pores.
- Acne can range from mild (occasional spots) to severe (painful, deep cysts and scarring).
causes
Acne arises from a combination of factors that disrupt the skin’s natural balance. While it is most commonly associated with puberty and hormonal changes, acne can affect individuals of all ages due to a variety of triggers. Understanding these causes is essential to managing and treating the condition effectively.
Excess Sebum Production
During hormonal changes like puberty, the sebaceous glands become overactive, producing excess oil. This oil clogs pores and creates an environment conducive to acne formation.
Clogged Hair Follicles
Dead skin cells that fail to shed properly combine with sebum, blocking hair follicles. This blockage forms whiteheads or blackheads, the first visible signs of acne.
Bacterial Growth
Propionibacterium acnes (C. acnes) bacteria thrive in clogged pores, leading to inflammation and the formation of red or pus-filled pimples.
Hormonal Fluctuations
Hormonal changes during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or stress can exacerbate acne. This explains why many women experience breakouts at specific points in their cycles.
Professional Treatments
Microneedling helps regulate oil production and minimise active acne while promoting overall skin health.
Chemical Peels Peels exfoliate the skin, unclog pores, and reduce inflammation, making them ideal for acne-prone skin.
PRP Treatments (Platelet-rich plasma treatments) reduce redness and inflammation, promoting skin healing and rejuvenation.Laser Treatments targets oil glands and reduces acne-causing bacteria, effectively managing persistent breakouts.

Dr Hiba saved me. I need to see someone urgently about a fast growing/change growth under my eye. Dr Hiba took me in on her break. She did a wonderful job on removing the growth at a sensitive area. Stitches out this morning and it is almost invisible. Professional, soft-spoken – could not recommend her enough!
I had nose Surgery with Dr Hiba Injibar. I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial consultation, it was apparent that Dr Hiba Injibar has a lot of experience in the procedure which made me feel very secure. She was very clear about what can be done and was also very attentive to my requests. I would not want anyone else to operate me 🙂 I Recommend 100%.
Couldn’t Be More Happy
Really positive experience. Beautiful building, small but well maintained and laid out spaces. Friendly, welcoming and very professional reception staff. Efficient registration. The consultation was expert, careful and thorough. Treatment effective. Plus Dr Hiba is a warm and lovely person!
Her team was also outstanding and every staff member I interacted with was warm, supportive, and knowledgeable. The receptionist in particular went out of her way to help me and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free.
Highly recommend Dr. Hiba and her team for anyone looking for expert, considerate care.
Dr. Hiba is amazing, very professional and approachable. During my initial consultation Dr. Hiba provided clear advice and direction, regarding the treatment I was seeking. I felt supported and listened to. A treatment plan was drawn up and each treatment explained in detail.
My laser treatments were done by Manuela, who has been incredible. A top therapist, professional and so friendly. Thank you Manuela for the high standard of care you gave me!
I highly recommend Dr.Hiba and her team.
