Depends on treatment
Acne occurs when pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells and bacteria, leading to inflammation, spots, blackheads, whiteheads and sometimes cysts.
Contributing factors include hormones, genetics, stress, skincare products and diet.
During your consultation, our specialist dermatologist will assess your acne type (inflammatory, comedonal, cystic or hormonal), your skin type, lifestyle factors and previous treatments. Your plan may include:
At Refresh Medispa a range of treatments are available for acne-prone skin, including:
Advanced medical grade skincare regimens stand as a cornerstone in acne management. These personalised routines incorporate medicated cleansers, toners, and prescription topicals to target specific acne types, whether it’s inflammatory or comedonal acne. The benefit lies in their ability to address underlying causes such as excess oil production or bacterial growth.
Hydrafacial treatments offer a non-invasive solution for acne-prone skin. By combining exfoliation, extraction, and infusion of serums, they unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and hydrate the skin. This approach suits individuals seeking a gentle yet effective option, particularly those with sensitive skin.
AlumierMD facial peels, infused with potent ingredients like antioxidants and peptides, provide intensive nourishment and rejuvenation. They not only combat acne but also improve skin texture and tone, offering a holistic approach to skincare.
LED therapy utilises specific wavelengths of light to target bacteria and reduce inflammation associated with acne. It helps to kill acne-causing bacteria, minimise oil production, and promote healing, leading to clearer skin with regular sessions.
Chemical peels, ranging from superficial to deep, exfoliate the skin’s surface and promote cell turnover. They effectively unclog pores, reduce oiliness, and fade acne marks. However, their intensity must be carefully selected based on individual skin type and concerns.
Prescription topical or oral treatments. As a specialist dermatologist led service, we can offer prescription only treatments for appropriate cases, as well as advice on triggers, diet and lifestyle modifications.
Most patients begin seeing improvement within 6–8 weeks with consistent treatment.
Absolutely. Adult acne is common and highly treatable.
Not always — but we can prescribe where clinically beneficial.
Scarring can be addressed once active acne is controlled; we will advise on suitable options.
