Acne treatment options

At Skindepth Perth, we recognise acne as a chronic disease and strive to create a personalised plan that effectively manages and prevents pimples throughout your life.

Acne can affects both teenagers and adults, rising from heightened hormonal activity which increases sebum production, leading to clogged pores and bacterial growth. This, in turn, causes inflammation, resulting in redness, lumps, and cysts.

To treat acne, we focus on reducing skin oiliness, unclogging pores, and controlling inflammation. Our approach usually involves topical treatments, such as skin products and prescription-grade retinol. In some cases, medical intervention is needed such as antibiotics, hormonal treatments, or isotretinoin may also be required. To explore these options it is best to book a Dermatology appointment with our Dermatologist Dr Alice Rudd.

If medical intervention is not your plan right now we believe in a holistic approach to treating acne, which can involve assessing hormones through blood tests, modifying your diet, and reducing inflammation levels in your body.

Our team can provide a personalised treatment plan that includes commonly used clinical peels such as salicylic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, and pyruvic acid. With a series of acne peels, you can see significant improvement in a short period of time.
