Acne can affect anyone, at any age, and can have a lasting impact on your confidence and quality of life. At Dermatology North Sydney, we provide tailored solutions to treat acne and acne scars, helping you achieve clearer, smoother skin.

When Should I See a Dermatologist for Acne?

If you’re struggling with persistent acne or acne scars, seeing a dermatologist is key. Our team will assess your skin and provide a personalised treatment plan to help you manage and clear your acne for good.

What Causes Acne?

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Factors such as hormones, stress, diet, and genetics can all contribute to the development of acne.

Effective Acne Treatments We Offer

Topical Treatments
 We offer a range of prescription-grade topical treatments to help reduce acne outbreaks and prevent new ones. These include medications like topical retinoids, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory creams.

Chemical Peels
 For a deeper treatment, chemical peels can be used to exfoliate the skin, unclog pores, and reduce acne lesions. They help to remove dead skin cells and promote new cell growth, leaving you with fresher, smoother skin.

LED Light Therapy
 This non-invasive treatment uses light energy to target acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and improve skin tone and texture. LED light therapy is gentle and ideal for sensitive skin types.

Laser Therapy for Acne
 Our advanced laser treatments are highly effective for targeting acne and acne scars. Laser energy works by reducing inflammation, killing acne-causing bacteria, and stimulating collagen production to heal and rejuvenate the skin.

• How It Works: The laser targets the deeper layers of the skin to address the root cause of acne while helping to reduce redness and improve the overall appearance of your skin.
• Minimal Downtime: The treatment is quick, comfortable, and involves minimal recovery time, so you can get back to your day.

Acne Scarring Treatment

If you’ve been left with acne scars, we offer targeted treatments like laser therapy and microneedling to reduce their appearance and promote smoother, clearer skin.

What Can I Expect from Acne Treatment?

• Personalised Care: Our dermatologists will assess your unique skin concerns and create a customised treatment plan for your acne.
• Visible Results: You may start seeing improvements within a few weeks, with continued progress over time as your skin heals.
• Minimal Discomfort: Our treatments are designed to be comfortable with minimal downtime, so you can get back to your daily activities quickly.
