The Acne Clinic

Personalised Acne Treatment for Teenagers & Adults

At KAST Medical Aesthetics our Acne Clinic offers a personalised, medically led approach to acne management, combining professional skin treatments, tailored skincare, LED therapy, and prescription support where appropriate. Rather than focusing on quick fixes or harsh one-size-fits-all routines, we assess the skin properly to understand what is driving the breakouts and how to improve the skin safely over time.

We support both teenagers and adults, with treatment plans tailored to the individual skin condition, severity, and age group.

Understanding Acne Properly

Acne develops for several different reasons, which is why treatment should never be approached generically.

Breakouts may be influenced by:

  • Excess oil production
  • Congestion within the pores
  • Hormonal fluctuations
  • Inflammation
  • Impaired skin barrier function
  • Stress and lifestyle factors
  • Incorrect skincare products
  • Bacteria within the skin

Good acne treatment is about reducing inflammation, supporting skin health, controlling congestion, and improving the environment of the skin long term.

Personalised Acne Treatment Plans

At KAST Medical Aesthetics, every acne consultation begins with a detailed skin assessment to understand:

  • Type of acne present
  • Severity of inflammation
  • Skin sensitivity and barrier health
  • Congestion levels
  • Previous treatments used
  • Lifestyle and skincare habits

This allows us to create a treatment plan tailored specifically to the skin rather than recommending the same products or facials for every patient.

Prescription Skincare Support

Prescription treatments may help regulate oil production, reduce inflammation, reduce active breakouts, and support clearer skin more effectively in stubborn or persistent cases. This can be particularly beneficial for patients who have not responded well to over-the-counter skincare alone or who continue experiencing recurring inflammatory acne despite trying multiple products.

At KAST Medical Aesthetics, we also use Obagi Medical skincare as part of many acne treatment plans. Obagi products are designed to support healthier skin function, improve skin cell turnover, reduce congestion, and help strengthen the skin barrier while targeting acne-prone skin concerns in a more structured and clinically guided way.

We often find that combining professional treatments with consistent medical-grade home skincare creates more stable, long-term improvement than relying on isolated treatments alone.

Tailored Decongesting Facials

Professional facials form an important part of many acne treatment plans.

Our tailored decongesting facials are designed to:

  • Reduce congestion within the pores
  • Calm inflammation
  • Support skin barrier repair
  • Improve skin hydration balance
  • Reduce excess oil build-up
  • Encourage healthier skin function

Treatment intensity is always adjusted according to the condition of the skin. In more inflamed cases, calming and barrier-supportive approaches are often prioritised first before stronger corrective treatments are introduced.

LED Light Therapy

LED light therapy can be used alongside facials or as a standalone treatment.

LED therapy helps support acne management by:

  • Reducing inflammation
  • Calming redness
  • Supporting healing
  • Helping improve overall skin recovery

In clinic, LED is often particularly helpful for patients with sensitive, irritated, or inflamed acne where aggressive treatments may worsen the skin barrier.

Why Early Acne Treatment Matters

Persistent inflammation can increase the risk of:

  • Acne scarring
  • Post-inflammatory pigmentation
  • Long-term skin sensitivity
  • Ongoing breakouts into adulthood

Early intervention often allows the skin to be managed more effectively before deeper inflammation and scarring develop.

For teenagers especially, this can make a significant difference not only to skin health, but also to confidence and wellbeing.

Acne management is often about consistency, professional guidance, and understanding how the skin behaves over time. Our goal is healthier, calmer, more resilient skin, not temporary short-term improvement followed by rebound flare-ups.

FAQs & Aftercare

Yes. We regularly see teenagers experiencing acne and tailor treatment plans according to age, skin condition, and severity.

Not always. Some patients improve well with professional facials, skincare adjustments, and LED therapy alone. Where appropriate, Nurse Alison can also assess whether prescription medication may be beneficial.

This depends on the severity of the acne and the treatment plan recommended. Some patients benefit from regular facials and LED therapy, while others may require prescription support alongside in-clinic treatments.

Professional acne treatments should be tailored carefully to the skin condition. Overly aggressive treatments can worsen inflammation, which is why personalised assessment is important.

Yes. LED therapy is often very helpful for calming inflamed, irritated, or sensitive acne-prone skin.
