What is Acne?
Acne is a common skin condition that develops when hair follicles become clogged with excess oil, dead skin cells, and sometimes bacteria. This buildup can lead to whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, and deeper cystic lesions. Acne most often appears on the face, forehead, chest, upper back, and shoulders—areas with the most oil (sebaceous) glands.
While it's most common during puberty due to hormonal changes, acne can affect people of all ages. Factors such as stress, diet, and certain skincare products can also contribute. Although often manageable, untreated acne can sometimes lead to inflammation, discomfort, and scarring.
What can I do at home to manage my Acne?
When treating acne, it is important to invest in medical-grade skincare as it is specifically formulated to be gentle and effective for acne-prone skin types. These products are often free from harsh chemicals, fragrances, or irritants that could worsen the condition.
Avoid touching or picking at your skin to prevent irritation and scarring. Maintaining clean pillowcases, managing stress, and keeping a balanced diet may also improve your skin. With consistency and care, many people see noticeable improvements over time.
What treatments can I do to help with Acne?
Professional skin treatments can be highly effective in managing acne by targeting its root causes more deeply than at-home care.
Treatments like chemical peels, laser, and LED therapy help to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and kill acne-causing bacteria. Extractions can also be added on to any skin treatment to help improve skin texture and reduce scarring.
Before we perform a skin treatment, our clinician will go through a comprehensive consultation to get a better understanding of your skin goals.
By working with one of our skin clinicians, you can create a customised treatment plan that supports long-term skin health and delivers clearer, more balanced skin.
