Acne & Breakouts
Clear, healthy skin is within reach
You're not alone. Acne affects 85% of Australians at some point. Our advanced treatments target breakouts at their source - clearing your skin and restoring your confidence.
The Science
What Causes
Acne?
Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. This creates an environment where bacteria can thrive, leading to inflammation and breakouts.
Understanding the underlying causes of your acne is the first step to clearer skin. At Omni Clinic, we assess your unique skin concerns to determine the most effective treatment approach.

Root Causes
Understanding The Causes
Hormonal Changes
Fluctuations in androgens during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause can trigger excess oil production.
Excess Sebum
Overactive sebaceous glands produce too much oil, clogging pores and creating an environment for bacteria.
Bacteria (P. acnes)
Propionibacterium acnes bacteria thrive in clogged pores, causing inflammation and infection.
Dead Skin Cells
When dead skin cells don't shed properly, they accumulate and block hair follicles.
Diet & Lifestyle
High-glycemic foods, dairy, stress, and lack of sleep can all contribute to breakouts.
Genetics
Family history plays a significant role in acne susceptibility, skin type, and healing response.

Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes my acne to keep coming back?
Recurring acne often results from hormonal fluctuations, consistent sebum overproduction, bacterial colonisation, and skincare habits. Professional treatments address these root causes, while proper at-home care helps maintain results.
Which treatment is best for my type of acne?
The ideal treatment depends on your acne type and skin condition. IPL works best for inflammatory acne, while chemical peels are excellent for comedonal acne. During your consultation, we'll assess your skin and recommend a personalised plan.
How long until I see results?
Initial improvements can be seen within 1-2 weeks for LED therapy and Hydrafacial. IPL and chemical peels typically show significant results after 3-4 sessions over 8-12 weeks.
Are these treatments safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, we offer treatments suitable for all skin types. LED therapy is universally safe. For IPL and chemical peels, we adjust settings based on your Fitzpatrick skin type.
Will I experience a purge or breakout after treatment?
Some treatments, particularly chemical peels, may cause a temporary purge as congestion surfaces. This typically resolves within 1-2 weeks and leads to clearer skin.
