Persistent breakouts, blemishes, congestion and excess oil can affect confidence and skin health. At Renova Practice, we begin with a thorough assessment to understand the nature of your acne before recommending any treatment.
Is This You?
Recognising Acne & Breakout Concerns
Acne and breakout concerns present in many different ways. You may recognise one or several of the following.
Recurring spots, pimples or cysts that don't fully clear
Congested pores, blackheads or whiteheads across the face
Excess oil production, particularly in the T-zone
Skin that feels rough, bumpy or uneven in texture
Post-breakout marks, redness or areas of discolouration
Sensitivity or inflammation alongside active breakouts
Breakouts that worsen with stress, hormonal changes or certain products
Our Approach
Assessment Before Treatment
Acne is not a single condition — it exists on a spectrum, from mild comedonal congestion to more persistent inflammatory or hormonal acne. Understanding which type you are experiencing, and what may be contributing to it, is essential before recommending any treatment pathway.
At Renova Practice, your initial consultation includes a thorough skin assessment and a discussion of your history, lifestyle and skincare routine. We consider factors such as hormonal patterns, diet, stress and previous treatments before making any recommendations.
Our approach combines in-clinic treatments with professional homecare where appropriate, supporting your skin between appointments and helping to maintain the results of your treatment plan over time.
"Understanding the nature of your acne is the first step. We assess before we recommend."
Treatment Options
Treatments We May Recommend
The following treatments may be considered as part of a personalised plan for acne and breakout concerns. Your practitioner will recommend the most appropriate options based on your individual assessment.
Chemical Peels
Medical-grade chemical peels can help to reduce congestion, improve skin texture and address post-breakout discolouration. AlumierMD peels are selected based on your skin type and the nature of your acne, with formulations suited to active breakouts, congestion and post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Microneedling
Microneedling can support skin renewal and help to improve the appearance of post-acne texture and scarring. It may be recommended once active breakouts are under better control, as part of a broader treatment plan.
Skin Boosters
Where acne has compromised the skin barrier or left the skin feeling sensitised and dehydrated, skin booster treatments may be incorporated to support hydration and skin health alongside other interventions.
Professional Homecare
AlumierMD medical-grade skincare can be prescribed as part of your programme, supporting your in-clinic treatments and helping to manage congestion, oil production and post-breakout marks between appointments.
Treatment recommendations are made following individual assessment. Not all treatments are suitable for all skin types or presentations of acne. Your practitioner will advise on the most appropriate options for your specific concerns and goals.
