Treatment overview
Acne is often a complex concern — what we see on the skin is only part of the story. Behind it may lie hormonal imbalance, bacterial activity, inflammatory processes or the skin’s reaction to external factors.
The Fagron Acne Test is an advanced diagnostic method that allows for a precise understanding of the underlying causes of acne and an individualised approach to treatment.
This is an analysis that does not assume — it measures. Based on a skin sample, it provides insight into the microbiological and inflammatory status of the skin, enabling targeted and effective treatment.
Interestingly, acne is often treated with a one-size-fits-all approach, even though the cause can differ entirely from one person to another. This is precisely why personalised diagnostics make a decisive difference to the success of treatment.
If you have already tried various products and treatments without a clear result, perhaps the issue does not lie in the therapy, but in the diagnosis.
How is the test performed?
The test is carried out by means of a simple, non-invasive sampling from the skin.
During the procedure:
- a sample is taken from the affected area
- the sample is analysed in a specialised laboratory
- data is obtained on the cause and type of acne
An individualised treatment plan is then drawn up based on the results.
Who is the test for?
The test is ideal for those who:
- have persistent or chronic acne
- do not respond to standard treatments
- wish to have precise, personalised treatment
- would rather avoid prolonged trial-and-error with therapies
If you feel that nothing seems to be working as it should, this is the step that brings clarity.
Our approach
When it comes to acne, we do not simply treat the symptoms — we look for the cause.
At our clinic, we use the Fagron Acne Test as a decision-making tool, not as an add-on. The results are interpreted by a consultant dermatologist who places them in the context of your skin, lifestyle and history of concerns.
We never approach acne in a generic way.
We take the time to explain what the results mean and how the treatment will work — because understanding the process also enhances its success.
Many patients come to us after a long period of unsuccessful attempts — and it is here that they receive, for the first time, a plan that truly makes sense.
Preparation
No special preparation is required for the test, however, we recommend the following:
- do not apply any products to the skin immediately before your appointment
- avoid aggressive treatments in the days leading up to the test
- arrive with clean skin
Recovery and precautions
There is no recovery period following the test — it is an entirely non-invasive procedure.
When the results are visible
The test results are provided following laboratory analysis.
The patient receives:
- a detailed insight into the cause of their acne
- a personalised treatment plan
- recommendations for skincare and treatments
The true outcome is not merely the report — it is a treatment that finally makes sense.
Treatment combinations
Based on the test results, treatment may be combined with advanced dermatological procedures:
- Candela Nordlys — to reduce inflammation, redness and pigmentation
- Morpheus8 — to improve skin structure and acne scarring
- CO2 Smaxel — for skin regeneration and the treatment of scarring
- Icoone Laser Med — to stimulate regeneration and circulation
- HIFU — to enhance overall skin quality
In addition:
- individually prescribed treatment
- medical dermocosmetics
- a follow-up plan with adjustments to the treatment
All recommendations are based on the actual cause — not on assumptions.
