What is Acne?
Acne is a common but often complex skin condition that can affect both teenagers and adults. For many people, it may also leave behind persistent marks or scarring. At Auraline Aesthetics, we assess and treat two main types of acne in clinic, with tailored treatment plans for each.
We take a medical, evidence-led approach, focusing on calming active breakouts, supporting long-term skin health and gradually improving the appearance of acne scarring.
Acne vulgaris
Is the most common form of acne and typically affects areas with a high concentration of hair follicles and sebaceous glands, including the face, chest and back.
Adult female acne
Most commonly occurs in women aged 25 and over, often affecting the jawline, chin and lower face. This form of acne is frequently chronic and may be influenced by hormonal fluctuations, lifestyle factors and stress.
Common signs you may notice
Acne is caused by a combination of factors within the skin:
Persistent breakouts or congestion
Blackheads or whiteheads
Inflamed spots or cystic acne
Redness or sensitivity
Dark marks after spots heal
Uneven texture or visible scarring
How we treat acne & acne scarring
At Auraline Aesthetics, we focus on treating the cause, calming inflammation and supporting skin repair.
Treatment plans are always personalised, depending on whether you have active acne, post-acne marks or scarring.
A personalised, medical-led approach
Redness should never be treated with a one-size-fits-all solution. A thorough consultation and skin assessment allows us to understand your skin, rule out unsuitable treatments, and create a plan focused on long-term improvement rather than short-term fixes.
Our approach prioritises skin health, subtle improvement, and treatments that work in harmony with your skin, helping it become stronger, calmer, and more balanced over time.
If you are concerned about facial redness, a professional assessment is the first step towards understanding your skin and identifying the most appropriate treatment options.
