Acne FAQs

An Aesthetician is able to dedicate their time solely to holistically treating conditions that affect the epidermis. Because we work primarily in the epidermis of the skin, conditions like acne are ones we treat and become more familiar with due to the frequency in which we are treating it.

Dermatologists approach acne with antibiotics and other medications often times with side effects. Antibiotic use is also known to cause resistance over time leading to relapse acne symptoms.

Acne Bootcamp is a 12 week program designed to help improve the condition of your acne. We evaluate the type of acne you have and customise a treatment plan that's designed to not only help get your acne under control, but also provide lifestyle guidance that can help you manage your acne long-term.

During your consultation we discuss your skin health history, your lifestyle, and go over a treatment plan to get your acne under control. The consultation helps us create a successful and sustainable plan that's customised for your skin,
