Acne is a skin disorder caused by excess sebum produced in the sebaceous glands that cannot be expelled through the skin orifices because they are clogged. This excess fat is infected by bacteria on the skin, causing inflammation and eruptions, popularly known as "pimples". This obstruction can be caused by several factors, such as excess oil production, hormonal disruption, in places on the face where bacteria will cause local infection with pus.
Acne can occur at all ages, although it is more common in teenagers (due to hormonal issues) and people with oily skin (due to excess sebum). It can also appear in different areas of the body, with the most common areas being the face, neck, chest, shoulders and back.
One of the main skin care measures to treat and prevent acne is proper cleansing. The lack of cleanliness facilitates the accumulation of dead cells which, together with excess oil, clog pores and favor the appearance of pimples. In addition, physical or chemical exfoliation of the skin also contributes to the treatment and prevention of acne, as it removes dead cells, preventing pore obstruction.

Testimonials from our patients
Dr. Fátima Baptista Fernandes started taking care of me and I am grateful. After aggressive chemotherapy, the skin on my face lacked elasticity and firmness. The wrinkles were very marked. Looking in the mirror became uncomfortable. I'm looking for myself, without the memory of cancer. And Dr. Fátima Baptista Fernandes has been exceptional to me. Walk slowly, don't rush.
I had surgery in February this year. These are fairy hands from Dr. Fátima Baptista Fernandes and the entire team. Thank you all!
Dr. João is one of the best surgeons I know. I speak from experience because a few years ago the Doctor and his wife did a reconstruction on my stomach which was not easy at all and it was impeccable, which is why I always recommend their names. A year ago I took my bedpan to the Clinic for a breast augmentation and it looked spectacular! They are special people. Friendly, accessible and very aware of the work they do. They are excellent professionals.
Dr. Fátima Baptista Fernandes is a doctor who, in addition to being super cheerful and cheerful, is extremely professional with supreme dedication to her patients and their cases. My husband has been a patient of Dr. Fátima for a few years now... She is his doctor of choice and he won't change it!
