Acne Management Telehealth Consultation

Acne is a common skin condition that affects both teenagers and adults. It can range from mild breakouts to more persistent or inflammatory acne that impacts confidence and quality of life. Triggers vary and may include hormones, stress, skincare products, and lifestyle factors.

Many acne cases are suitable for telehealth management. During a consultation, our doctors review your skin history, current treatments, and symptom patterns to recommend appropriate care. Where clinically appropriate, prescription treatments may be provided, and existing medications can be adjusted or renewed. Telehealth is particularly helpful for ongoing acne management, treatment reviews, and follow-up. More severe acne, scarring acne, or acne not responding to treatment may require in-person assessment or referral to a dermatologist.
