A clinically guided approach to managing active acne and improving acne-related scarring through assessment-led, evidence-informed care.
Acne and acne scarring can result from inflammation, oil imbalance, bacterial activity, and disrupted skin healing, often leaving persistent texture irregularities and pigmentation changes.
Management at Esmée follows a concern-led approach and may include Acne Control Peels to address active breakouts and congestion, Resurfacing Peels to improve scar texture, and adjunct energy-based or regenerative treatments where clinically appropriate. Treatment selection is guided by skin type, acne activity, scar depth, and sensitivity rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Based on assessment findings, active acne management is prioritised if present, scar treatment is planned only once inflammation is controlled, and a combination of therapies may be recommended. Treatment is staged to protect skin integrity, with plans adjusted as the skin responds.

Depending on the individual plan, care may involve targeted acne-control treatments, skin renewal and texture-improving procedures, collagen-stimulating interventions where appropriate, and medical-grade skincare guidance. All interventions follow conservative clinical protocols.

Post-treatment care includes barrier-repair and calming skin routines, sun protection and pigmentation control guidance, and review appointments to monitor progress. Adjustments to the treatment are made based on skin response. Recovery timelines vary depending on treatment depth.

This service may support management of active inflammatory acne, hormonal or adult acne, persistent or recurring breakouts, post-inflammatory pigmentation, atrophic acne scars (textural depressions), and irregular skin texture following acne. Each condition is assessed independently and may require different treatment stages.
