Acne & Acne Scars Management
Doctor-Led Care for Clearer, Healthier Skin
Acne is a common condition affecting the oil glands and hair follicles, often presenting as congestion, inflammation, and breakouts. While it frequently begins in adolescence, it can persist or develop at any stage of life.
If not appropriately managed, acne may lead to long-term skin changes, including redness, pigmentation, and scarring.
At Elixir Skin Clinic, we provide doctor-led, evidence-based care focused on early intervention, personalised treatment, and long-term skin health.
Understanding Acne
Acne may affect the face, chest, back, and shoulders, ranging from mild congestion to deeper inflammatory lesions.
Because every skin behaves differently, effective treatment requires a tailored, medically guided approach—not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Treatment for Active Acne
Our approach targets the key drivers of acne—inflammation, congestion, and skin imbalance—while supporting ongoing skin recovery.
LED Light Therapy
A gentle, non-invasive treatment used to support acne control and healing:
- Blue light helps reduce acne-associated bacteria
- Red light calms inflammation and visible redness
- Infrared light supports deeper skin repair
Comfortable treatment with no downtime, suitable for regular maintenance.
Medical-Grade Skincare (Retinal-Based)
Vitamin A derivatives play a central role in acne management by:
- Normalising skin cell turnover
- Reducing pore congestion
- Balancing oil production
- Supporting clearer, smoother skin
Chemical Peels
Superficial peels help to:
- Unclog pores and reduce congestion
- Refine skin texture
- Support clearer-looking skin
Often combined with LED therapy for enhanced results.
Acne Scars & Skin Changes
Acne scarring develops when inflammation disrupts normal collagen healing, leading to permanent textural changes or pigmentation irregularities.
Effective scar management requires a combination approach, carefully tailored to scar type and skin condition.
