What Is Acne Treatment?
Acne is a common skin issue that can show up as blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, or even deeper nodules and cysts. It typically appears on the face, chest, and back, often due to a combination of excessive oil, clogged pores, inflammation, and bacteria. While we often think of acne as a teenage problem, it can affect people of all ages. The type and severity of acne can really vary, and if it’s not treated, it might lead to scarring or lingering pigmentation.
At Neuglow, we customise our acne treatment plans to fit each person’s unique skin profile, focusing on the root causes of breakouts, inflammation, and any post-acne issues.
How Does It Work
At Neuglow, we take a comprehensive approach to acne treatments, combining various in-clinic methods to tackle both active breakouts and the underlying issues that contribute to them:
Oil Regulation & Exfoliation
We use treatments that gently unclog pores and manage excess oil production, helping to minimise new breakouts and improve your skin’s texture.
Bacterial Control
To combat acne-causing bacteria, we may employ blue light therapy or topical antibacterial solutions that specifically target these pesky invaders.
Inflammation Reduction
For those dealing with inflammatory acne, options like laser therapy, light-based treatments, or soothing medical-grade peels can effectively reduce redness and swelling.
Scar & Pigmentation Management
If you’re facing post-acne challenges, we might incorporate fractional lasers, microneedling, or specialised skincare into your extended treatment plan.
The treatments we recommend are tailored to your specific type and severity of acne, as well as your skin’s unique tolerance and medical history.
Treatment Protocol
Consultation: A comprehensive skin assessment will be carried out to identify your acne type, contributing factors, and any previous treatments. A personalised plan will be created to target your specific concerns.
Treatment: Depending on the selected approach, sessions may range from 30 to 60 minutes. Some treatments may involve no downtime, while others may require short recovery periods.
Post-Treatment: You will receive aftercare instructions tailored to your skin. Some treatments may be combined with a prescribed skincare routine for ongoing support.
Expected Outcomes
- Reduction in active breakouts and inflammation
- Smoother skin texture and more balanced oil production
- Improved clarity and tone
- Support for long-term acne management
Visible improvement may occur over several weeks, with optimal results seen through consistent treatment and skincare adherence. Maintenance may be advised depending on your skin’s response.
Possible Adverse Events
While most acne treatments are well tolerated, temporary effects may include:
- Redness or Mild Swelling: Particularly following peels, laser, or light-based treatments.
- Dryness or Peeling: Common during exfoliating treatments or when introducing new topical products.
- Sensitivity: Skin may feel more sensitive post-treatment; sun protection is strongly advised.
- Flare-ups: Occasionally, skin may purge or break out before settling into a clearer state.
Your practitioner will provide guidance on how to manage side effects and support your skin through the process.
