The challenges of Acne

Acne is a common challenge for many young adults, often having a significant impact on both physical appearance and emotional well-being. During this stage of life, hormonal fluctuations can lead to increased oil production and clogged pores, resulting in breakouts that can be persistent and difficult to manage. For many, acne can affect more than just their skin—it can erode self-esteem, cause embarrassment, and lead to social anxiety, making it harder for young adults to navigate relationships and social settings confidently.

 

Beyond the immediate cosmetic concerns, untreated acne can lead to long-term challenges such as scarring and hyperpigmentation. These lasting marks serve as a reminder of past breakouts, further affecting confidence even after acne subsides. The pressure to present a clear, healthy complexion during formative years can be overwhelming, but with the right treatments, such as those offered at Parkwood Skin Clinic, young adults can achieve healthier skin and prevent lasting damage.

How is Acne treated?

At Parkwood Skin Clinic, our skincare approach is carefully integrated into every acne treatment plan to provide comprehensive, long-lasting results. We begin with a detailed skin evaluation to understand each patient’s unique skin type and the root causes of their acne. From there, we design a personalised skincare regimen that works alongside targeted treatments to address active breakouts, inflammation, and prevent future flare-ups. Our approach combines advanced medical treatments, such as PRP or laser therapies, with high-quality skincare products to support healing, reduce scarring, and promote clear, healthy skin.

Our acne treatments are designed not just to clear current breakouts, but also to improve the overall quality and resilience of the skin. By incorporating proper skincare practices into our treatment plans, we help regulate oil production, maintain hydration, and support the skin’s natural barrier function. This holistic approach ensures that patients not only see immediate improvements but also experience long-term benefits, reducing the likelihood of future acne issues while enhancing the skin’s overall health and appearance.

Our Combination Therapy

Our combined acne treatment approach blends advanced medical therapies with personalised skincare regimens to target active breakouts, reduce inflammation, and prevent future flare-ups. Our treatment portfolio includes:

Non-Surgical Treatments:

  • Chemical Peels: Exfoliates the skin to remove dead cells, unclog pores, and improve skin texture.
  • Microneedling with PRP: Stimulates collagen production and skin healing, reducing scarring and improving skin quality.
  • Laser Therapy (e.g., Excel V+ and Laser Genesis): Targets acne scars, redness, and inflammation while promoting skin rejuvenation.
  • Blue Light Therapy: Reduces acne-causing bacteria and inflammation.
  • Corticosteroid Injections: Quickly reduces inflammation and helps shrink large, painful acne cysts

Surgical Treatments:

  • Punch Excision: Surgical removal of individual acne scars, followed by sutures or grafting.
  • Laser Resurfacing (CO2): Treats deeper layers of skin, smoothing out acne scars and improving overall skin texture
