Acne isn't only a surface concern. It can affect how you feel about your skin day to day, and it often lingers or returns well into adult life. At Hillview, adult acne is assessed by a doctor, so your plan starts with understanding your skin rather than guessing at products.
How it's approached
Your consultation looks at your skin, what you've already tried, and what may be contributing. From there, Dr Kirk talks you through the options and pathways that suit you, and what a realistic plan looks like. There's no template, and no obligation to proceed.
- Assessed by a doctor, in person
- Options matched to your skin and your goals
- Follow-up to keep things on track
- Honest advice about what will and won't help
Finding the right pathway
Sometimes the best next step is care through your regular GP or a skin specialist. If that's the right pathway for you, we'll say so and help point you in the right direction.
Assessed, not assumed
What suits your skin depends on your individual circumstances, which is what a consultation is for. Your options, suitability and pricing are discussed privately there.
Realistic expectations
Skin responds gradually, and results vary from person to person. Any option that's right for you, including its benefits and risks, will be explained before you decide anything.
