Acne treatment Sydney

Clearer skin, backed by science and care

Acne is more than just a skin concern — it can significantly impact your self-confidence and daily life.

Whether you’re dealing with teenage breakouts, adult hormonal acne, or post-acne scarring, our Sydney clinic offers customised acne treatments that address the root causes of your breakouts, not just the symptoms.

With evidence-based techniques, expert care, and a personalised approach, we help you achieve clearer, healthier skin — and the confidence that comes with it.

Understanding the causes of acne

What is acne?

Acne is a very common skin condition that happens when pores become blocked with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria.

It can show up as blackheads, whiteheads, small bumps, inflamed spots, or even deeper cysts and nodules, and it often appears on the face, chest, back, or shoulders.

Triggers vary from person to person but may include hormonal changes such as puberty, menstruation, or PCOS, along with excess oil production, bacteria, and a build-up of dead skin cells.

Stress, diet, and harsh or unsuitable skincare products can also make acne worse.

Acne solutions and treatments

The types of Acne we can treat

We offer treatment for a full range of acne types, including:

Comedonal acne (blackheads and whiteheads)

Inflammatory acne (red, swollen papules and pustules)

Cystic and nodular acne (deep, painful lumps)

Hormonal acne (often appearing along the jawline or chin)

Acne scarring and post-inflammatory pigmentation

Advance care for calm, clear skin

When to consider a professional acne treatment.

Over-the-counter products aren’t working. If you’re using acne products with little improvement, professional treatments can target the deeper layers of the skin and address the underlying causes.

You’re dealing with painful or cystic breakouts. Cystic or nodular acne can lead to long-term scarring and discomfort. Early treatment helps reduce the risk of permanent skin damage.

Acne is affecting your confidence. Breakouts can take a toll on your mental health and social confidence. Personalised, professional care can make a world of difference.

Which acne treatment is right for you?

Personalised consultation and tailored care

We begin with a detailed skin analysis and a discussion of your lifestyle, medical history, and previous treatments.

From there, we create a customised acne treatment plan, taking into account your skin type and acne severity, any scarring or pigmentation, hormonal or lifestyle triggers, your current skincare routine, and the health of your skin barrier.

What to expect during and after treatment

Treatments are typically gentle, non-invasive, and take around 30–60 minutes. Depending on your skin condition, you may need a series of treatments over several weeks.

You may experience slight redness or mild flaking following certain treatments, but downtime is minimal. We’ll provide home care and product advice to maintain your progress between visits.

With consistent treatment and care, clients often see visible improvements within a few weeks to months.
