Brisbane Specialist Acne Clinic

There are many treatments available to treat acne depending on the severity and the cause of acne. Treatments are aimed at addressing the factors which cause acne- that is decreasing oil production, reducing both blackheads and whiteheads and killing the bacteria in the oil glands.

After assessing your acne, a Dermatologist will tailor an individual acne treatment regime, which may include creams, prescription pills, fruit acid peels, or a combination of blue/red light.

After your acne treatments are complete, we offer advice on how to best care for your skin in the future - ensuring that you achieve the best possible cure. Acne scar revision can then be addressed once acne is in remission.

The Brisbane Specialist Acne Clinic is a Specialist Clinic, and this ensures that patients have the highest cure rate possible, our success rate is over 99%.
