Acne happens when your skin’s pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and sometimes bacteria. This can lead to:

• Blackheads or whiteheads – clogged pores that haven’t yet become inflamed
  
• Pimples or pustules – red, inflamed bumps when bacteria get involved
  
• Cysts or nodules – deeper, more stubborn bumps under the skin

Factors that can make acne worse:

• Hormonal changes – puberty, menstrual cycle, stress
  
• Excess oil production – especially in oily skin types
  
• Dead skin buildup – skin not shedding normally
  
• Bacteria on the skin – like Cutibacterium acnes
  
• Lifestyle factors – diet, stress, certain skincare products
  

💡 Key point: Acne isn’t caused by poor hygiene—over-washing can actually make it worse. It’s a mix of oil, clogged pores, and inflammation.

Certain factors can increase the likelihood or severity of acne:

• Hormonal changes (puberty, menstrual cycles, PCOS)
  
• Genetics
  
• Stress and lifestyle factors
  
• Comedogenic or inappropriate skincare products
  
• Overuse of harsh or irritating treatments

With the right combination of gentle exfoliation, balancing ingredients, and supportive treatments, acne-prone skin can become clearer, calmer, and more balanced over time.

Acne Facial
A targeted facial designed to deeply cleanse the pores, gently exfoliate congestion, and calm inflammation while supporting the skin’s natural healing process.

BHA Peels
Salicylic acid–based peels help dissolve oil buildup inside the pores, reduce breakouts, and smooth skin texture while promoting clearer, more balanced skin.

LED Therapy Series
Blue LED light at 415 nm (this is important) kill acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation, supporting clearer skin and faster recovery from breakouts.

Acne treatment is a progressive process, not an overnight fix. The skin needs time to rebalance, reduce inflammation, and normalise its function.

• Weeks 1–4: Skin begins to stabilise; congestion may start to clear
  
• Weeks 4–8: Fewer active breakouts and reduced inflammation
  
• Weeks 8–12+: Noticeable improvement in clarity, texture, and overall skin health
  

Consistency with both in-clinic treatments and home care is key to achieving and maintaining results.
