ACNE TREATMENTS

Clearer skin starts with the right support

If you’ve tried countless products, followed endless routines, and still feel stuck in the cycle of breakouts, you’re not alone. At About Face Brisbane, we understand how acne can affect not just your skin, but your confidence and emotional well-being. That’s why we take a thoughtful, personalised approach to care, rooted in our values as a family-owned clinic with a reputation for real results and long-term client relationships.

Acne appears differently for everyone. From blackheads and persistent congestion to inflamed pustules and hormonal flare-ups, no two skins are alike. We take the time to listen, assess, and design a treatment pathway that’s tailored to you, not a generic solution, but a targeted plan based on your skin’s individual needs, your lifestyle, and your goals.

 

Expertise you can trust, care you can feel

Our team of doctors and expert skin clinicians have decades of experience treating acne-prone skin with a compassionate and results-focused approach. We’re not a chain clinic; we are a privately owned family clinic. You won’t be rushed in or out. Instead, you’ll receive one-on-one care from qualified skin therapists who understand the complexities of acne, from its triggers to its emotional impact.

We’ve invested in proven technologies and high-performance skincare that support long-term skin health. Everything we do is evidence-based. No hype, no harsh chemicals, and no quick fixes, just clinical guidance, ongoing support, and a treatment plan that works with your skin as it heals.

Whether you’re a teenager navigating early breakouts or an adult dealing with stubborn or late-onset acne, we’re here to guide you and provide you with a doctor-led solution to clearer and calmer skin.

Advanced Laser Acne Treatments

For clients with moderate to severe acne, scarring, or persistent congestion, our advanced laser acne treatments offer targeted results with minimal downtime. We use precision-based technology to calm active breakouts, improve skin clarity, and support deep healing from within.

Laser therapy works by reducing inflammation, destroying acne-causing bacteria, and stimulating collagen, making it especially effective for pimple and acne removal treatments that go beyond the surface. All laser treatments are carried out by trained professionals, using protocols tailored to your skin type, sensitivity, and treatment history.

This advanced approach is ideal for those looking for clinical-grade outcomes without invasive procedures, helping to clear existing breakouts while preventing new ones from forming.

 

How we treat acne at About Face Brisbane

We treat acne at the source—by calming inflammation, regulating oil flow, supporting skin repair, and guiding you with professional skincare routines that reinforce your in-clinic results.

Your program may include:

  • Customised acne treatments and product layering: Targeted care to reduce congestion, balance oil, and strengthen the skin’s natural defences—without stripping or irritating.
  • HydraFacial treatments: A gentle, multi-step resurfacing treatment that exfoliates, clears out pores, hydrates, and infuses active ingredients to restore clarity and calm. Perfect for acne-prone and congested skin.
  • Home-care guidance: We recommend a results-driven, simplified skincare routine using acne-safe products that support your skin between visits.
  • Progress tracking and plan adjustments: As your skin improves, we adapt your treatment plan to keep results moving forward.

Appointments typically take 30–45 minutes and include skin consultation and treatment. There is also time to ask questions, so you feel supported and informed at every stage.

 

Real solutions, not quick fixes

Acne isn’t solved overnight, but with the right support, clear skin is achievable. What sets us apart is how deeply we care about getting the results you’re looking for, and how committed we are to doing it safely, gently, and professionally.

We’ve helped hundreds of clients across Brisbane achieve lasting improvements in their skin—and we’d love to help you do the same. No judgment. No pressure. Just the kind of honest, expert guidance that makes a real difference.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What Are The Benefits Of Laser Acne Treatments?

The Dynamis Nd YAG laser penetrates the skin to the correct depth in the skin to heat and suppress the overactive sebaceous glands. The laser light kills the bacteria and reduces the inflammation of the skin. The treatment will accelerate the healing process and stimulate collagen, an important step in the long-term care of acne and the prevention of scarring.

What Causes Acne?

Acne is a major skin problem that affects adolescents and adults making a psychological impact because of its appearance on the face. It is also quite common on the chest, neck, and back of male and female adolescents.

The causes are multifactorial and different for each person such as puberty, menstrual cycle, genetics, stress, hormonal changes (like menopause), diet, and even lifestyle.

We believe it is important to treat acne as early as possible to prevent permanent scarring. Our treatments work on a corrective protocol by reducing oil production, speeding up skin cell turnover, fighting bacterial infection, and reducing the inflammation with the intention to re-educate the skin to function correctly.

Do I Need To Use Home Care Products?

Yes, using the correct home care products is one of the most important steps you need to take to manage your acne.  Active skincare will help control the condition and prevent further skin damage.  They will not fix the problem but will reduce the excess oil secretion, treat inflammation and minimise infection and most importantly maintain your skin’s health.  We believe the most effective solution for acne is combining your skincare with clinical treatments.

Do Chemical Peels Help?

If you have mild acne a course of lactic acid (AHA) and salicylic acid (BHA) peels can be beneficial.  The lactic acid peels can increase the skin’s cellular turnover.  By increasing the cell turnover you are helping to prevent a buildup of dead skin cells, which can make your skin look dull and unhealthy.  The salicylic acid peel dissolves the buildup of sebum in the pores and helps dry out existing break out.

At About Face Brisbane we do a layering peel using both acids to achieve an effective result.
