Acne is a complex skin condition that requires more than just over-the-counter creams. At KONCEPT® Medical Clinic Kingston, under our Dermatology category, we offer expert-led, personalised medical and aesthetic treatment plans for all forms of acne and its associated scarring.
Our goal is to clear active breakouts, prevent future lesions, and restore skin confidence by smoothing texture and fading marks.
We understand that every case of acne is unique. Our approach moves beyond single treatments, focusing instead on a tailored, multi-modal strategy to address the root causes of your acne.
Your treatment journey begins with a thorough consultation by one of our medical practitioners or dermatological specialists. We will classify your acne (e.g., comedonal, inflammatory, cystic) and assess contributing factors (hormonal, lifestyle, genetic).
Depending on the severity, treatment may involve medical-grade topical solutions, oral medications (such as antibiotics, hormonal therapies, or Isotretinoin), or a combination of both.
We focus on developing a long-term plan to maintain clear skin once active acne is under control.
Once your skin is stabilised or as part of your active treatment plan, we utilise advanced aesthetic procedures to accelerate clearing and address immediate concerns:
Specific formulations (e.g., Salicylic Acid) rapidly exfoliate dead skin cells, decongest pores, reduce oil production, and calm active inflammation.
While primarily for scarring, controlled microneedling can improve texture and the appearance of enlarged pores associated with mild acne.
Targeted light therapy can reduce the redness of active lesions, kill P. acnes bacteria, and address post-inflammatory erythema (PIE).
Manual, sterile removal of blackheads and whiteheads by a skilled practitioner to prevent them from progressing into inflammatory lesions.
The marks left behind by acne can be just as distressing as the breakouts themselves. We categorise post-acne marks into two types and offer targeted solutions:
Dark brown or black marks left after a lesion heals (excess melanin).
Targeted Chemical Peels, skin brightening prescription products, and Advanced Laser Treatments to safely break down the excess pigment.
Persistent red or pink marks caused by damaged capillaries near the skin's surface.
Highly effective treatments include specific Vascular Lasers (like the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus) to target and clear the underlying redness.
Physical indentations in the skin (e.g., ice-pick, boxcar, rolling scars) caused by collagen damage.
Microneedling (SkinPen®) to stimulate new collagen, Chemical Peels (TCA Cross) for targeted deep scars, and Bioremodelling Injectables (e.g., Polynucleotides) to rebuild dermal structure.
Treating acne effectively requires clinical expertise and a deep understanding of dermatology.
Every treatment plan is designed or overseen by a medical practitioner, ensuring safety, efficacy, and access to prescription-strength solutions.
We seamlessly combine medical products, lifestyle advice, and advanced in-clinic procedures to achieve the fastest and most sustainable results.
Our priority is not just clearing acne, but also adopting strategies that minimise the risk of long-term scarring.
We provide a discreet, non-judgmental environment where your skin concerns are addressed with empathy and professionalism.
