Acne affects millions of Australians, not just in their teenage years but also into adulthood. While breakouts are frustrating, the lasting marks and scars they leave behind can take a toll on your confidence long after the blemishes fade.
The good news is that you don’t have to put up with it if you live in Broadmeadows or Melbourne, because Telma Skin Clinic offers a range of clinically proven treatments designed to effectively tackle both your active acne and the scars it leaves behind.
First, we focus on controlling your active breakouts and then we work on repairing your skin and reducing any of the remaining marks or scars. Here’s how our professional treatments can help you achieve a smoother, clearer complexion.
Solutions for Active Acne
Controlling your active acne is key if you want to prevent future scarring, and our acne treatments address the root cause of your ongoing breakouts.
Carbon Peels and Hydra Dermabrasion
Often called a ‘Hollywood Peel’, a carbon peel is a popular, non-invasive cosmetic treatment. It’s perfect for sensitive and acne-prone skin because it helps control oil by drawing out impurities and clearing blockages that lead to blackheads and breakouts.
For a truly deep clean, we also offer Hydra Dermabrasion, a seven-step treatment that uses an Aqua Peel along with AHA, BHA and EGF serums to deeply hydrate and exfoliate.
Chemical Peels
Another powerful option for your active acne is a chemical peel, which uses acids like glycolic, lactic and salicylic to break down the bonds holding old skin cells together.
This process allows for a controlled shedding of your outermost skin layers, which are then replaced by new, healthier cells. This method is highly effective at reducing active acne, managing oil production and decreasing inflammation.
LED Light Therapy
A great way to target your active acne is with LED light therapy. This non-invasive treatment uses different wavelengths of light to heal your skin. The blue light, in particular, penetrates your skin to eliminate the bacteria responsible for acne breakouts.
At the same time, the red light works to reduce inflammation and redness, soothing your skin and promoting a healthier, more balanced appearance.
Target Acne Scars and Marks
Once we have your active breakouts under control, our focus will shift to repairing your skin and diminishing the appearance of scars and pigmentation. These treatments work to regenerate the skin cells and boost collagen production.
Skin Resurfacing
For stubborn marks and deeply textured scars, skin resurfacing delivers controlled energy to your skin. This stimulates new collagen production and promotes a thorough healing response, which ultimately results in a smoother, more even skin texture and a significant reduction in visible scarring.
 The Clearskin Laser
Our Clearskin Laser is a unique treatment with the power to address active acne and reduce your existing scars. This technology combines a non-ablative laser with a simultaneous vacuum and cooling mechanism.
The laser penetrates deep into the skin to destroy acne-causing bacteria and reduce excess oil production. The vacuum then extracts impurities from pores, while the thermal energy from the laser stimulates collagen renewal to diminish the appearance of acne scars and marks.
Because this treatment is safe for all skin types, virtually painless and requires no downtime, you can return to your daily activities immediately, making it an excellent treatment option for our clients wanting to improve both overall skin texture and tone.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
For the red or brown marks left by acne, known as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, IPL can be very effective. It works by using broad-spectrum light pulses to target and break down specific pigments in your skin.
The light energy is absorbed by melanin (brown spots) and haemoglobin (red spots), causing them to break down and be naturally absorbed by your body. Ultimately, you are left with lighter marks and a more even skin tone.
Why You Should See a Professional for Your Skin
While there are many over-the-counter products and home remedies, they often aren’t strong enough to treat your moderate-to-severe acne and lasting scars.
