REDUCE ACNE & SCARRING
Adult acne affects 25% of men and 50% of women.
At Springwell Clinic we offer a range of advanced treatments to target breakouts, reduce scarring and restore your skin's confidence.
UNDERSTANDING ACNE
Treatments for Acne & Acne Scarring
Acne is caused by three things: excessive sebum, bacterial infection and inflammation of the skin.
A multitude of factors contribute to breakouts – sun, pollution, weather, diet, hydration, hormones and genetic predisposition.
Skincare is a great first step. Cosmeceutical products use precise chemical formulations based on extensive dermatological biochemistry and the highest-grade ingredients. But for persistent or scarring acne, clinical treatments can make a transformative difference.
There are a range of facial rejuvenation treatments that can help with acne breakouts and scarring, depending on your skin type and severity – including HydraFacial®, Skin Peels, Microneedling, and Dermalux® – or a combination approach for the best results.
RECOMMENDED

COMMON QUESTIONS
FAQ
-
HydraFacial effectively treats acne by deeply cleansing, exfoliating, and removing oil, dead skin cells, and impurities that clog pores. Its salicylic acid booster targets acne-causing bacteria, while gentle suction clears pores without irritation. The treatment hydrates, soothes redness, and calms inflammation, promoting cell turnover and balancing oil production. A course of 6 weekly sessions is recommended. Note: we cannot treat cystic acne — wait until breakouts have settled.
-
Yes! Superficial Peels help with mild acne scarring by exfoliating dead skin cells, removing excess oil, and unclogging pores. Ingredients like salicylic and glycolic acid target acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote cell turnover. The Perfect Peel works internally to repair and nourish the skin, refine pores, reduce hyperpigmentation and diminish acne marks.
-
The needles create very superficial "micro-injuries" to the outermost layer of skin, inducing the healing response, which prompts the skin to repair itself by producing new collagen and elastin. This leads to a reduction in acne scarring visibility, particularly with repeat treatments. Microneedling can reduce acne scarring by 50 – 70%.
-
The best treatment for severe acne often involves a combination approach, tailored to your specific skin condition and type of acne. You may be recommended prescription medications such as oral antibiotics to reduce inflammation. It's essential to follow a consistent skincare routine including gentle cleansing and moisturising. At your consultation, we will discuss your skincare routine and treatments to help reduce acne outbreaks and scarring.
-
Whether you choose a medium-depth skin peel like The Perfect Peel or a course of microneedling treatments, once your skin has recovered (7 – 14 days), you will likely see a visible reduction in scarring. Repeat treatments at 6 – 12 months will further fade more stubborn scarring. Your nurse practitioner will discuss expected outcomes at your consultation.
-
SW Skincare products are our own highly effective, affordable, clinically validated range that deliver real improvements to the skin.
