Professional Acne Assessment & Treatment
Acne is a medical skin condition rather than simply a cosmetic concern.
More severe or persistent acne can lead to inflammation, pigmentation changes and permanent scarring if not properly treated.
At Dermatology Center Tenerife, every patient receives an individual assessment to identify the type and severity of acne and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.

Acne in Teenagers & Adults
Acne is often assumed to be a teenage condition, but it affects people across every age group. Many patients see it for the first time in their twenties or thirties, and others find it returns years after it first cleared.
What matters clinically is not the patient’s age but how the acne presents: the type of lesion, how severe and widespread it is, how long it has persisted, and which underlying factors are driving it.
For that reason, treatment is decided on individual presentation rather than age alone. A teenager and an adult with the same clinical picture may follow the same plan, while two patients of the same age may need very different ones.
