NON-SURGICAL TREATMENT
Acne & Breakouts
We know that acne and breakouts are a common part of life. We also understand that some people may wish to discuss options that address the appearance of acne-prone skin and related skin changes.
Our clinic can provide consultations about acne and breakouts. During consultation, a practitioner will assess your concerns, review your medical history and discuss cosmetic options that may be appropriate within the clinic’s scope of practice.
Management of acne may involve both medical and cosmetic care. Where appropriate, your practitioner may recommend review with a GP or dermatologist.

All cosmetic procedures carry risks and may not be suitable for everyone.
Before any procedure is performed, your practitioner will:
- review your medical history, medications and relevant health information
- examine the treatment area
- explain the proposed procedure, limitations and alternatives, including choosing not to proceed
- discuss possible risks and side effects, including less common but more serious complications
Risks associated with procedures may include:
- redness or swelling
- dryness or peeling
- skin sensitivity or irritation
- pigmentation changes
- infection or delayed healing
- temporary muscle weakness
- uneven or unexpected aesthetic outcomes
Pain and comfort levels vary between individuals and depend on the procedure used. Some procedures may cause sensations such as warmth, tingling, tightness, discomfort or pressure during or after treatment.
Written aftercare instructions will be provided if treatment is performed.
Care typically combines in-clinic treatments (for example, LED or appropriately selected light chemical peels) with advice on home skincare routines. Your practitioner will also consider any existing medical treatment you are using and may suggest review by your GP or dermatologist where appropriate.
Timelines and responses vary widely. No specific result or timeframe can be guaranteed.
Not all treatments are suitable for everyone. Suitability, including for sensitive or reactive skin, is assessed during a face-to-face consultation and your plan will be adjusted accordingly.
Some treatments may help address the appearance of post-blemish marks or certain acne scars. The extent of change depends on factors such as scar type, skin type, and the treatments used.
Frequency depends on the type of treatment, your skin and how you are responding. Your practitioner will outline an individual schedule; this may change over time.
Depending on the procedure, you may be advised to:
- Avoid heat (such as saunas, hot yoga or very hot showers) and strenuous exercise for a short period
- Avoid picking or squeezing the skin
- Pause or reduce use of strong active products (e.g. certain acids or retinoids) until your practitioner advises they can be reintroduced
- Use gentle products and daily SPF 50+
These recommendations are tailored to your specific treatment and skin needs.
