Adult Acne

Adult acne is distinct from teenage acne. It is often driven by inflammation, stress and barrier damage rather than just oily skin. Over-treating it with harsh teenage products often makes it worse, leading to dryness, sensitivity and more redness. We treat adult acne with a 'calm and clear' philosophy reducing inflammation, repairing the barrier and regulating oil without stripping the skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these treatments make my acne worse first?

Sometimes a mild 'purge' can happen as congestion clears, but our anti-inflammatory protocols are designed to minimize this.

I've tried everything. Why will this work?

Many over-the-counter treatments strip the barrier, causing more inflammation. We rebuild the barrier while clearing the breakout.

Can I treat acne and wrinkles at the same time?

Yes! Treatments like BioRePeel and Polynucleotides target both ageing and breakouts simultaneously.

Is stress a factor?

Yes, cortisol increases oil production and inflammation. We take lifestyle factors into account.

Do I need to change my diet?

We often discuss reducing sugar and dairy, which can be triggers for adult acne.

How soon will I see results?

Active inflammation usually calms within 48 hours. full clearing takes a skin cycle (approx 4 weeks).

Can I wear makeup?

We advise keeping the skin clean for 24 hours post-treatment. We can suggest skin-friendly makeup options.

What products should I use?

We will create a simple, barrier-repairing home care plan for you.

Is this safe during pregnancy?

Some treatments are not (like Retinol or strong peels), but others like enzyme therapy and LED can be safe. We will tailor the plan to you.

Will it help with scars?

Yes, by stopping inflammation early we prevent scarring. For existing scars, microneedling is excellent.

Do you offer prescriptions?

We are a nurse-led clinic and can signpost you to medical services if prescription medication (like antibiotics) is needed alongside our treatments.
