Breakouts That Won’t Clear No Matter What You Try? You’re Not Alone
Acne is one of the most common skin concerns, affecting both teenagers and adults across Chorley and Lancashire. Many clients tell us they feel frustrated, embarrassed or completely overwhelmed trying to manage breakouts that never seem to settle.
Acne affects confidence, comfort and even social habits, but the most important thing to know is: acne is treatable, and long-term improvement is absolutely possible with the right plan.
A consultation is the first and most crucial step.
What Does Acne Look Like?
Acne can present in different ways, including:
- Blackheads and whiteheads
- Under-the-skin congestion
- Inflamed red spots
- Pustules
- Deep cysts
- Texture changes
- Post-acne marks and pigmentation
Understanding your acne type is essential because each form requires a different approach.
Why Am I Getting Acne?
Acne is rarely caused by “bad skin hygiene.”
In fact, over-washing and harsh exfoliation often make inflammation much worse.
Common causes include:
- Hormones
- Stress
- Increased oil production
- Bacteria
- Inflammation
- Incorrect skincare routine
- Makeup congestion
- Diet triggers
- PCOS
- Copper IUD
- Genetic predisposition
- Overuse of strong exfoliants or retinoids
During consultation, we assess which of these contribute to your acne so we can treat it correctly.
Why Consultation Is Essential
No two acne cases are the same.
Your treatment plan must consider:
- Type and severity of acne
- Inflammation level
- Skin sensitivity
- Hormonal influences
- Diet and lifestyle
- Current skincare products
- Medical history and medication
A safe, structured plan prevents skin damage and improves long-term results.
HydroFacial for Active Acne
HydroFacial is one of the safest and most effective treatments we offer for active acne. It:
- Deeply cleanses congested pores
- Removes excess oil
- Extracts blackheads
- Flushes away bacteria
- Soothes inflammation
- Rehydrates the skin
- Reduces acne flare-ups
It is fully customisable for sensitive or inflamed skin and offers immediate relief without irritation.
Chemical Peels for Acne
Rosacea-safe, acne-safe chemical peels help to:
- Reduce breakouts
- Control oil production
- Prevent future congestion
- Brighten post-inflammatory pigmentation
- Improve overall clarity
These peels are gentle, controlled and suitable for inflamed acne when chosen correctly.
Polynucleotides for Healing & Inflammation
Polynucleotides can be used during active acne because they:
- Reduce inflammation
- Strengthen the skin barrier
- Improve healing after breakouts
- Reduce redness
- Support long-term skin repair
They are ideal for clients with highly reactive, slow-healing or frequently inflamed skin.
Medical-Grade Skincare (Including AlumierMD)
Skincare is one of the most important components in acne management.
We build a personalised skincare routine that:
- Clears breakouts
- Protects the barrier
- Prevents scarring
- Regulates oil
- Reduces inflammation
- Brightens marks left behind
AlumierMD products are clinically formulated and gentle enough to support long-term acne improvement.
Microneedling & PureDerma (ONLY Once Acne Is Controlled)
Microneedling and PureDerma RD are not suitable during active acne, but they are highly effective once inflammation has settled.
They improve:
- Acne scarring
- Skin texture
- Enlarged pores
- Red or brown post-acne marks
- Dull or uneven skin
- Collagen support for long-term repair
We only use these treatments when your skin is stable to avoid spreading bacteria or causing irritation.
Lifestyle Triggers We Explore
Addressing lifestyle factors makes a huge difference to results. During consultation, we’ll discuss:
- Sleep
- Stress
- Exercise sweat management
- Makeup habits
- Diet and gut health
- Hormonal cycles
- Incorrect skincare routines
- Skin picking habits
This ensures your improvement is long-lasting, not temporary.
