Acne Treatments (Extractions & Chemical Peel)
About the treatment
What's involved in an Acne Treatment?
A targeted treatment designed to deeply cleanse, clear congestion, and calm breakout-prone skin. This appointment includes thorough extractions followed by a customised chemical peel to help reduce inflammation, refine pores, and support clearer, healthier-looking skin over time.
Suitable for those experiencing active breakouts or persistent congestion.
This treatment is designed for people experiencing active breakouts, blackheads, blocked pores or persistent congestion. Your skin will be assessed before treatment so we can tailor the treatment to your skin’s current condition and needs.
Your appointment includes a thorough cleanse, targeted extractions and a customised chemical peel selected according to your skin type, condition and concerns.
You may feel some pressure or mild discomfort during extractions, particularly in more congested areas. We work carefully and gently to clear the skin while minimising unnecessary irritation.
You may experience mild tingling, warmth or sensitivity while the peel is being applied. The type and strength of the peel will be selected according to your skin’s needs and tolerance.
Some redness, sensitivity, dryness or light flaking may occur following treatment. This varies between clients and depends on the peel used. We’ll explain what to expect and provide personalised aftercare advice.
Your skin may feel smoother and look fresher after your appointment. However, acne and congestion often require consistent treatment and appropriate home care. Results vary depending on your skin, the underlying causes of your breakouts and the severity of your congestion.
Some clients may benefit from a single clarifying treatment, while persistent breakouts or congestion may require a series of appointments. After assessing your skin, we can recommend a treatment plan suited to your individual needs.
While your skin is settling, avoid picking or squeezing the skin, exfoliating products, retinoids, excessive heat and direct sun exposure. Wear a broad-spectrum SPF daily and follow the aftercare advice provided.
Please let us know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before your appointment. Some peel ingredients and skincare products may not be suitable during this time. We can assess your skin and discuss an appropriate treatment option.
Please tell us about all topical and oral medications you are currently using before your appointment, including retinoids and antibiotics. Some medications can increase skin sensitivity or affect whether and when certain treatments can be performed. We’ll assess your skin and advise you accordingly.
