What Is Acne?

Acne vulgaris, colloquially known as acne or pimples, may also mean papules, pustules, comedones, nodules or cysts. While most commonly affecting teenagers, it can appear or last in people well into their 20’s, 30’s and 40s. Normally caused by stress or hormonal imbalance, acne occurs as consequence of either an excess or underproduction of oil in the skin.​

Despite this, many treatment options are available, starting with a comprehensive consultation to discuss the best course of action through various treatment options and prescription of medications where required.

Treatment Process

1

Active Acne

Active treatment involves light-based remedies and 6-8 peel sessions (2 – 4 weeks apart), in addition to making skin clearer, smoother and more toned.
2

Acne Scars / Stretch Marks

treated with serums, boosting collagen formation and resurfaced through laser therapy.
3

Maintenance

Supportive treatments, such as targeted skincare, are advised to minimise overstimulation of oil glands, thus providing balance to the skin.

Recommended Treatments

At XO Aesthetics, we create tailored treatment protocols for scars and stretch marks, depending on the type and depth of the scar.
Combining treatments will lead to renewed collagen and elastin in the old scar, helping to minimise the appearance.

Medical peels are a popular treatment for acne-prone skin and can help reduce the appearance of acne scars, control breakouts, and reduce inflammation. Peels work by using a chemical solution such as glycolic acid or salicylic acid to remove the outermost layers of dead skin cells. This helps to reveal brighter, smoother skin.

Micro-needling with niacinamide and EGF (epidermal growth factor) is an effective treatment for acne-prone skin. It works by stimulating the production of collagen, elastin, and other beneficial molecules in the skin to improve its overall tone and texture while reducing the appearance of acne scarring.

Enlighten 3 non-ablative resurfacing is an effective treatment for reducing the appearance of acne scarring. The procedure works by using pulsed light technology to penetrate the skin’s surface and target areas that are affected by scars. This encourages collagen production and skin rejuvenation, making the appearance of the scars more even and less noticeable.

Please note: The button below links to the full facial resurfacing service. There is also a half-facial resurfacing service available, for accommodation of preference.

The Enlighten III laser uses revolutionary PICO Genesis FX technology, enabling precise, controlled energy delivery to scar tissue. This disrupts scar tissue and promotes the production of new collagen and elastin fibres, leading to smoother, more even skin texture. At XO Aesthetics, we understand that each scar is unique, and we can treat all scar types more effectively and efficiently than microneedling, microdermabrasion and facial devices.
