Concern guide
Acne involves blocked follicles and inflammation and can range from occasional breakouts to painful, scarring disease.
Understanding
Acne is a common skin condition that includes blackheads, whiteheads, inflamed spots and, in more severe cases, deeper nodules or cysts. Hormones, oil production, follicle blockage and inflammation can all contribute.
Aesthetic treatments may support a skincare plan, but persistent, painful or scarring acne needs medical assessment. Treating active acne and treating the scars it leaves are separate goals.
Compare your options
A consultation is the starting point: the most appropriate option depends on what is creating the concern, your goals and your medical history.

Before you decide
Do not perform aggressive resurfacing over actively inflamed or infected skin. Current skincare, prescription medicines, pregnancy and pigment response affect treatment choice. The priority is controlling active disease before addressing residual marks or texture.

Common questions
Painful nodules, cysts, scarring, a sudden severe outbreak or acne that is affecting wellbeing are good reasons to seek medical advice.
No. A facial may support surface care, but acne is a skin condition and may need appropriate topical or prescription treatment.
The active breakouts are usually controlled first so new scars are less likely to form before texture-focused treatment begins.
