Here at ACE Skin Health Clinic, we take a personalised and science-led approach to treating acne in all its forms, helping you reduce active breakouts, prevent future flare-ups and rebuild confidence in your skin.
About acne
Understanding Acne
Acne develops when pores become clogged with a mixture of oil, dead skin cells and bacteria. A number of factors influence acne: hormones, stress, genetics, certain medications, skincare habits and even how sensitive your skin is to inflammation. There’s no single cause, which is why a tailored assessment is so important.
There are a number of acne types, think blackheads and whiteheads to inflamed papules, pustules, nodules or cysts. Some clients experience constant congestion, while others struggle with cyclical hormonal breakouts, especially around the jawline and chin.
Inflammatory acne tends to be swollen and painful, while non-inflammatory acne shows up as blackheads or closed comedones. Many people experience both at the same time. And for some, the breakouts may settle but the marks linger, especially on Black and brown skin tones where post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is more common.
Although acne isn’t harmful, it can deeply affect how you feel. Our goal is to calm active flare-ups, treat congestion and support long-term skin health without compromising your barrier.
How We Treat Acne
Acne responds best to a combined and consistent approach. At ACE Skin Health Clinic, your treatment plan is designed around the type of acne you’re experiencing, the underlying causes and your skin’s unique needs.
Chemical Peels
Medical-grade peels help lift dead skin cells, dissolve congestion and regulate excess oil. By accelerating cell turnover, peels reduce blackheads, soften texture and make it harder for pores to become clogged. Each peel is customised to your skin type and tolerance, ensuring effective results with manageable downtime.
Microneedling with Transdermal Infusion
Microneedling creates precise micro-channels in the skin, allowing targeted actives – such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and oil-modulating ingredients – to penetrate more deeply. This treatment is especially helpful for those who eperience breakouts alongside uneven texture or lingering marks. Importantly, it works without heat, making it a safe option for clients who find that inflammation triggers can worsen their acne.
Exosomes
Exosomes deliver advanced cellular messengers that help calm inflammation, repair damaged skin and support more balanced behaviour within the pores. Because inflammation is at the core of many acne types, exosomes can reduce redness, regulate oil and improve overall resilience. This treatment is particularly helpful for reactive or easily irritated skin.
Bespoke Facials
Our acne-focused facials combine deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation and where suitable, professional extractions to safely remove congestion without causing trauma. Depending on your skin’s needs, your treatment may include LED blue light therapy to target bacteria, an oxygen infusion or cooling technologies like TargetCool to soothe inflammation. These facials are ideal for maintaining clarity between more intensive treatments.
Medical-Grade Skincare
A consistent at-home routine is essential for lasting results. Your personalised plan may include retinoids, exfoliating acids, pigment inhibitors (to prevent post-acne marks), barrier-supporting ingredients and non-comedogenic hydrators. We help you build a routine that clears acne without stripping or irritating your skin.
Results
Many clients notice calmer, less inflamed skin within a few weeks, while deeper or cystic acne may require a longer treatment timeline. With the right approach, and consistent care, breakouts become less frequent, congestion reduces, and skin gradually becomes clearer and more balanced.

FAQs
At Ace Skin Health Clinic, we believe informed clients achieve the best results. These FAQs cover the most common questions about our approach, safety standards, and treatment process, so you can book with confidence and clarity.
Still have questions?
Get in touch with our team and we will answer all of your questions before you book a session.
What causes acne?
A combination of excess oil, clogged pores, bacteria, inflammation and hormones. Stress, genetics and skincare habits can also contribute.
Is adult acne common?
Yes. Many adults – especially women – develop acne in their 20s, 30s and 40s due to hormonal fluctuations.
Why do breakouts leave dark marks?
Inflammation can overstimulate pigment cells, leaving post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation behind once the spot heals. This is more common and longer-lasting on medium to dark skin tones.
Can skincare alone clear acne?
Mild acne may respond well to targeted skincare. More persistent or cystic acne usually needs a combination of professional treatments and a structured routine.
Are extractions safe?
Yes, when done professionally. They help remove congestion safely without causing scarring, unlike squeezing at home.
Are acne treatments suitable for all skin tones?
Absolutely. We adjust methods, strengths and technologies to ensure safety and effectiveness for every skin tone, including melanin-rich skin.
Can acne come back?
Yes. Acne can flare with hormones, stress or certain lifestyle patterns. With maintenance care and the right routine, flare-ups become far less frequent.
