Active Acne
Clinically proven treatments to clear active breakouts, reduce inflammation, and prevent new flare-ups
Skin Concern
Clear Skin, Lasting Confidence
Active acne, whether occasional breakouts or chronic inflammatory acne, responds well to targeted clinical treatment. Addressing active acne early also significantly reduces the risk of permanent scarring.
Our doctor takes a thorough approach, combining energy-based treatments, anti-inflammatory protocols, and injectable options to manage active breakouts and restore healthy, clear skin over time.

Why It Happens
Excess Sebum Production
Overactive sebaceous glands produce more oil than the skin can process, creating conditions in which bacteria thrive and pores become blocked.
Bacterial Overgrowth
Cutibacterium acnes bacteria proliferate within congested follicles, triggering the immune response we see as inflammatory acne.
Follicular Hyperkeratinisation
Excess skin cells that fail to shed normally accumulate inside pores, trapping sebum and bacteria and forming comedones.
Hormonal Fluctuations
Androgens stimulate sebaceous gland activity, which is why acne peaks during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and periods of elevated stress.
Diet and Lifestyle
High-glycaemic foods and certain dairy products have been associated with worsening acne by elevating androgen and insulin-like growth factor levels.
Skin Barrier Disruption
An impaired skin barrier increases susceptibility to bacterial colonisation and inflammation.
