Acne and breakout treatments

What is acne, and why does it develop?

Acne breakout is a common skin condition that develops when hair follicles become clogged with excess oil (sebum), dead skin cells and bacteria. This can lead to different types of breakouts, including blackheads, whiteheads, pimples and deeper, inflamed spots.

Acne and breakouts commonly appear on the face, chest, back and shoulders.

The severity can range from mild to severe. In some cases, acne can cause redness, swelling and long-term scarring.

What causes acne and breakouts?

Acne develops through a combination of factors, with hormonal changes increasing oil production and contributing to clogged pores. This can lead to Cutibacterium acnes colonisation and inflammation, resulting in breakouts.

Triggers such as stress, unsuitable skincare, makeup products, friction, occlusion and over-exfoliation may further worsen acne. Identifying contributing factors can help support personalised acne management.

Acne & Breakouts

Signs and symptoms of acne

Acne can appear differently depending on its type and severity. Common signs include blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, red or inflamed bumps and deeper, painful lesions. Breakouts may occur on the face, chest, shoulders or back and can sometimes leave behind persistent redness, pigmentation or scarring.

By recognising these signs and acting promptly, you can choose the right treatments to support healthier, clearer skin.

Tips To Prevent Acne Naturally

How to improve acne and breakouts

Improving acne requires a personalised approach that addresses the factors contributing to your breakouts. A combination of professional treatments, suitable skincare and healthy skin practices can help reduce congestion, calm inflammation and support clearer-looking skin.

Your dermal clinician can assess your skin and recommend a tailored treatment plan to manage active breakouts, support skin health and help minimise the risk of post-acne concerns such as pigmentation and scarring.

Professional treatments for acne & breakouts

Chemical Peel for Acne & Breakout Treatments

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels use carefully selected acids and active ingredients to exfoliate the skin, remove dead skin cells and support skin renewal. Depending on the formulation, they can help reduce congestion, improve uneven skin texture and manage acne breakouts.

Hydrafacial for acne breakouts

HydraFacial

HydraFacial combines cleansing, gentle exfoliation, extractions and hydration to help improve congested, acne-prone skin. It helps remove surface impurities, refine the appearance of pores and improve the look of skin affected by acne breakouts, while maintaining the skin barrier.

Laser Skin Rejuvenation for acne & breakouts

Laser Skin Rejuvenation

UltraPlus VPL uses targeted light energy to help reduce acne-related inflammation and target bacteria associated with acne development. It can also help improve the appearance of post-acne redness and uneven skin tone, supporting a clearer and more balanced-looking complexion.

LED Light Therapy for Acne breakouts

LED Light Therapy

LED light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to help calm inflammation and support the skin’s natural repair processes. It is often used as part of an acne management plan to help reduce visible redness, soothe irritated skin and support clearer-looking skin.
