Acne is a common chronic skin condition characterised by blackheads, whiteheads, pustules, blocked pores and, in serious cases, cysts. It can appear on the face, neck, chest and back, causing distress for those experiencing it.
Research suggests that early management of acne may reduce the longevity of breakouts and the risk of scarring. While a consistent skincare routine is essential for skin health, you can also support your skin by:
- limiting sugar intake
- changing your pillowcase regularly
- not to touching your face
- keeping your skin clean and hydrated
- seeing your qualified practitioner if your acne worsens
- do not over treat your skin with treatments, or products that have been recommended by untrained influencers
Acne Program
At Perfectly Smooth, Nurse Practitioner Bek provides tailored treatment and support for teen and adult acne. We offer an initial 6-month Acne Program designed to support individual needs. The program includes in-clinic treatments and a tailored skincare regimen formulated to manage breakouts and support the skin barrier. The first 6 months provide a structured, consistent plan for managing and improving moderate-to-severe acne.
Managing acne requires consistency, healthy habits, and commitment; it is not an immediate fix but relies on skin cell renewal and treatment response. After 6 months, an evaluation takes place to determine next steps.
Results are not guaranteed and individual outcomes vary. A consultation with a qualified practitioner is required to determine suitability and discuss potential risks, complications and recovery times. All pre and post-care advice must be followed.
