Acne & Blemishes
Healthy skin begins with understanding the underlying cause. Whether you're concerned by hormonal acne, persistent blemishes, congestion or post-acne marks, our clinicians develop personalised treatment plans designed to improve skin health, reduce breakouts and restore a naturally clear, confident complexion.
Understanding Your Concern
What causes acne, blemishes
and post-acne marks?
Acne and blemishes develop when excess oil production, dead skin cells and bacteria disrupt the skin's natural balance, leading to blocked pores and inflammation. Hormones, genetics, stress, lifestyle, environmental factors and impaired skin barrier function can all contribute to persistent breakouts, while ongoing inflammation may result in post-acne marks, uneven skin tone and textural changes. As every individual's skin is different, understanding the underlying causes is essential to creating a personalised treatment plan that restores healthier, clearer and more balanced skin while helping to reduce future breakouts.

Hormones

-
Diet, Stress & Lifestyle
Diet, stress and lifestyle habits can influence inflammation, skin health and recurring breakouts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes acne and blemishes?
Acne develops when excess oil, skin cell build-up and bacteria clog the pores, triggering inflammation and breakouts. Hormonal changes, genetics, stress and lifestyle factors can all influence how your skin behaves. At Privé, we look beyond the visible symptoms to identify the underlying causes of your acne and create a personalised treatment plan that supports healthier, clearer skin.
Why do I still have acne as an adult?
Adult acne is more common than many people realise and can affect both women and men well beyond their teenage years. Hormonal fluctuations, stress, genetics and certain skincare or lifestyle factors can all contribute. Our clinician-led approach focuses on identifying the underlying cause while restoring long-term skin health and confidence.
Which acne treatment is right for me?
There is no single treatment that works for everyone. The most effective approach depends on your skin type, the severity of your acne and its underlying causes. During your consultation, our clinicians will carefully assess your skin and create a personalised treatment plan that may include Chemical Peels, Microneedling, Mesotherapy, Skin Boosters, Exosome Therapy, Polynucleotides and medical-grade skincare.
How long does it take to see results?
Every skin responds differently. While some patients notice calmer, clearer skin within a few weeks, the most significant improvements develop gradually as inflammation settles and the skin naturally renews itself. Consistency and a personalised treatment plan are key to achieving healthier, long-term results.
Can acne scars be prevented?
Early treatment is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of permanent acne scarring. Avoiding picking or squeezing blemishes, controlling inflammation and treating active acne promptly can all help protect the skin. Once acne is under control, regenerative treatments can further improve skin texture and support natural collagen renewal.
Are chemical peels effective for acne?
Yes. Medical-grade Chemical Peels help exfoliate the skin, unclog pores, reduce excess oil and calm inflammation. They can also improve post-acne pigmentation, refine skin texture and encourage healthier skin renewal, helping to achieve a clearer, more balanced complexion.
Can microneedling help acne scars?
Yes. Once active acne has settled, Microneedling stimulates natural collagen production to improve acne scars, refine enlarged pores and restore smoother, healthier-looking skin. It can also enhance the delivery of targeted active ingredients to support skin repair and regeneration.
Can regenerative treatments improve acne?
Yes. Once active acne is under control, regenerative treatments such as Exosome Therapy, Polynucleotides and Skin Boosters can support the skin's natural repair processes. They help improve skin quality, reduce inflammation, stimulate collagen production and minimise the appearance of acne scars, promoting healthier-looking skin over time.
Can hormonal acne be treated?
Yes. Hormonal acne is one of the most common causes of persistent breakouts, particularly in adults. During your consultation, our clinicians will assess your skin, medical history and lifestyle to understand the underlying cause and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for your individual needs.
Will my acne come back after treatment?
Acne can be a long-term skin condition, but with the right combination of professional treatments, medical-grade skincare and ongoing maintenance, many patients achieve lasting improvements. Our goal is not only to clear existing breakouts but also to help reduce future flare-ups and support healthier skin over time.
Are acne treatments suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Every treatment plan is tailored to your individual skin type, concerns and level of sensitivity. Our clinicians carefully select treatments that effectively manage acne while protecting and strengthening the skin barrier to minimise irritation and support healthy skin function.
Why is a personalised consultation important for acne treatment?
Acne is a complex skin condition, and no two patients are the same. During your consultation, our clinicians will assess your skin, identify the underlying causes of your breakouts and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your skin type, concerns and long-term goals. By combining advanced regenerative treatments with medical-grade skincare, we focus on improving long-term skin health—not simply treating individual blemishes.
