What is Acne?

Acne is a common skin condition that may develop due to a combination of genetic and lifestyle factors. It can occur at any age but is often seen during the teenage years. The severity of acne can vary, and certain diet or lifestyle influences may contribute to flare-ups.

What Are Acne Scars?

Acne scars are the result of the skin’s natural repair process following inflamed blemishes. When collagen fibres form during healing, the repaired skin may differ in texture, leading to visible marks or indentations.

How can acne and acne scars be managed?

How can acne and acne scars be managed?

We recommend an initial consultation with one of our doctors, nurses or therapists to provide a professional assessment and create a tailored treatment plan. Acne care typically focuses on managing oil production, reducing bacteria and keeping pores clear. Scar treatments are usually introduced once active acne is under control.

Acne treatment options may include:

Acne skincare – a cosmeceutical skincare regime to support daily management and long-term maintenance.
Prescription medication – for more severe cases, doctors may prescribe specific medicines to help reduce breakouts.
Chemical peels – act on the skin’s surface to remove dead cells, unclog pores and support cell turnover.
LED therapy – uses red and blue light to target bacteria and support the skin’s natural repair.
Medical lasers – may be considered for suitable cases as part of a treatment plan.

FAQs

What results can I expect from acne and acne scarring treatments?

Improvements in acne control may be noticed after several weeks, provided treatment plans are followed consistently. Long-term maintenance is often required to help reduce future breakouts.

For acne scarring, changes in skin texture may take a few months to appear and usually require multiple sessions. Outcomes vary depending on the severity of scarring and the type of treatment used.
