Acne Treatment Programmes
All Kinds of Acne Programmes
Breakouts can be persistent and often need more than a one-off treatment. A personalised skin plan from The Cosmetic Clinic combines customised treatments, expert guidance and at-home skincare, all tailored to your skin’s needs and goals.
As your skin changes, so does your programme. Your therapist will adjust and combine treatments throughout your programme based on your skin’s response and progress, helping to manage congestion, calm inflammation and support clearer, healthier-looking skin over time.

Our Treatments for Acne
OBSERV 520x Skin Analysis
Using the advanced OBSERV 520x Skin Analysis technology, we can get to know your skin on a deeper level, identify your underlying concerns and let’s create a treatment and skincare plan for your best skin yet!
Clear & Clear Pro MediPeel
These two MediPeel treatments help clear congested skin by removing built-up dead skin cells and deeply cleansing pores, reducing the appearance of acne, enlarged pores, and scarring.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion removes excess oil and dead skin build-up, and also includes extractions to deeply cleanse the pores, reducing the appearance of acne breakouts.
MesoInfus™ Microneedling
Uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and skin renewal. These microchannels also allow oxygen into the affected pore, killing the acne-causing bacteria.
The active ingredients of the MesoInfus Clear Serum help to enhance the overall benefits by refining, decongesting, repairing & reducing inflamed congested skin.
LED Light Therapy
LED Blue Light Therapy kills bacteria on the epidermis by stimulating oxygen production which helps with overall visibility of acne, pustules & breakouts for smooth, silky skin.
MediFacial
HydrateRx MediFacial deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates to restore glow and comfort. Work with your therapist to customise each step and create a personalised plan for refreshed, radiant skin.
Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning gently exfoliates your skin, removing fine hair and dead cells to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. Work with your therapist to create a personalised routine for soft, radiant skin.

Acne FAQs
Can acne go away on its own?
Mild acne may clear up without treatment, but persistent or severe acne often requires skincare adjustments, professional treatments, or medical intervention.
Do acne scars fade over time?
Some post-acne marks may fade naturally, but deeper scars often require treatments like chemical peels or microneedling to improve skin texture.
How can I reduce acne breakouts?
A consistent skincare routine, using non-comedogenic products, maintaining a balanced diet, managing stress, and seeking professional treatments can all help minimise breakouts.
Can stress cause acne?
Yes, stress triggers hormonal changes that can increase oil production, leading to breakouts. While stress alone doesn’t cause acne, it can make existing acne worse.
When should I see a professional for acne?
If over-the-counter treatments aren’t working, or if acne is severe, painful, or causing scarring, it’s best to book a consultation with one of our skilled skin specialists for a personalised treatment plan.
What’s the difference between Microdermabrasion and MesoInfus™ Microneedling for acne scars?
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that removes the topmost layer of skin, improving the appearance of light scars.
MesoInfus™ Microneedling involves creating tiny punctures in the skin with fine needles, which stimulates collagen production and can improve the texture and depth of more severe acne scars. MesoInfus™ Microneedling is more effective for deeper scarring than Microdermabrasion.
Why do some people get acne while others don’t?
Genetics, hormone levels, skin type, and lifestyle factors all contribute to whether someone develops acne. Some people naturally produce more oil or have a higher sensitivity to hormonal changes.
