Acne Treatment Sydney CBD

Adolescent and adult acne can be a serious problem. Mild to severe acne can cause great distress, lowering self-esteem and even leading to suicidal thoughts.

We want to help you fix your skin acne and help you regain the clear face you always wanted.

Understanding Acne

Acne develops when pores become blocked with excess oil, dead skin cells and other debris. Hormonal changes, genetics, certain skincare products and other individual factors may also contribute to breakouts.

Acne can vary significantly from person to person, which is why treatment should be based on an assessment of your skin rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

How we treat acne skin

Here at True Skin, we understand the distress of acne skin and how it can affect your overall wellbeing. Our qualified and experienced clinicians will guide you on your journey to rid yourself of acne for good. We've found a comprehensive approach works best for acne treatment.

During your initial consultation, we will assess your skin and acne type to recommend a course of treatment, or perhaps a combination of treatments.

Heavy congestion such as many blackheads and “whiteheads”, and is heavily cystic may benefit from treatment with a Medi-Facial Peel and LED therapy prior to Spectra Peel laser treatment. Lesser congestion may benefit by treating directly with Spectra Peel laser therapy. Treatment for acne may also extend to acne scarring treatment.

We take a holistic approach to help you to maintain the clear face you have always wanted. In addition to clinical treatments, we will also advise you on a post-treatment skincare regime and a skin-friendly diet to help you look good and feel great.

Types of Acne We Assess

Acne can appear in several different forms, including:

• Blackheads and whiteheads

• Congested skin

• Papules and pustules

• Inflamed acne

• Persistent or recurring breakouts

• Deeper or cystic acne

• Post-acne pigmentation

• Acne-related scarring

During your consultation, our clinicians can assess your skin and discuss whether cosmetic skin treatments may be appropriate for your concerns.

Acne Treatment at True Skin Sydney

Our approach begins with a consultation and skin assessment.

Depending on your skin type, the severity and type of acne, and your individual goals, your clinician may discuss one treatment or a combination of treatment approaches.

Options available at True Skin may include:

Chemical Peels

Selected chemical peels may help exfoliate the surface of the skin, reduce congestion and improve skin texture.

The appropriate type and strength of peel will depend on your skin and will be discussed during your consultation.

LED Therapy

LED therapy may be incorporated into a broader treatment plan for selected patients, depending on their skin concerns and treatment goals.

Spectra Peel Laser

For suitable patients, laser-based treatments such as Spectra Peel may be discussed as an option for concerns including congestion, uneven skin texture or post-acne changes.

Suitability will be assessed before treatment.

Skin Needling

Skin needling may be considered for certain texture concerns and acne-related scarring rather than active inflammatory acne.

Your clinician can advise whether it is appropriate for your skin.

Acne and Acne Scarring

Active acne and acne scarring are different concerns and may require different approaches.

Once active breakouts are appropriately managed, treatments may be considered for concerns such as:

• Uneven skin texture

• Post-acne pigmentation

• Rolling scars

• Boxcar scars

• Ice-pick scars
