About Active Acne

Active acne is an inflammatory skin condition where excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria clog pores — creating whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, or deep cystic lesions.

Professional treatment clears existing breakouts faster than topical products alone and prevents the scarring that untreated acne causes. We combine in-clinic treatments with a customised home care protocol for lasting control. Using Hollywood Spectra, Hydrafacial Vortex, we deliver precise, measurable improvement.
