Acne
Acne can affect teenagers and adults and is not always linked to poor skincare. Breakouts may present as blackheads, whiteheads, inflamed spots, cystic lesions or persistent congestion. Acne can also affect confidence and may lead to post-inflammatory marks or scarring if left unmanaged.
At JB Aesthetics, acne is approached with a skin health first mindset. We assess your skin, lifestyle and current routine, then recommend a tailored plan designed to reduce breakouts, calm inflammation and support long-term skin balance.
What Causes Acne?
Acne often develops due to a combination of factors, including:
Hormonal changes and fluctuations
Excess oil production and congestion
Inflammation and acne bacteria
Skin barrier disruption and dehydration
Stress and poor sleep
Occlusive products that block pores
Diet and lifestyle factors in some individuals
Genetics and skin type
Acne can appear similar across patients, but the underlying triggers can vary significantly. This is why professional assessment is essential.
How Is Acne Assessed?
Treatment planning begins with a detailed consultation and skin assessment.
During this appointment, we assess:
Type and severity of acne present
Degree of inflammation and sensitivity
Current skincare routine and previous treatments
Lifestyle factors that may be contributing
Suitability for clinic-based treatments and active skincare
This allows us to create a plan that is both effective and safe for your skin.
Treatment Options
If acne is severe, painful or widespread, JB Aesthetics will advise honestly and may recommend working alongside a dermatologist for medical management.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can active acne be treated in clinic?
Yes. Treatment selection depends on the level of inflammation and sensitivity. Some treatments are more appropriate once acne has calmed, and this will be discussed during consultation.
How long until results are visible?
Many patients notice improvements within weeks, but long-term control typically requires consistency and a structured approach.
Will acne come back?
Acne can be cyclical, particularly when hormonal factors are involved. Maintenance plans can help reduce flare-ups and support ongoing control.
Is acne treatment suitable for men?
Yes. Treatment plans are tailored to men’s skin, lifestyle and common concerns such as oiliness, congestion and shaving-related breakouts.
