At Shellharbour Skin, our expertise in treating acne at Shellharbour Skin ensures you receive personalised care for clear, healthy skin.

After nearly 20 years in the skin industry, our approach to acne management has become a specialty at Shellharbour Skin. Having experienced severe teenage cystic acne and undergone Roaccutane myself, I became passionate about finding effective solutions for acne. I promised to help patients struggling with this challenging condition.

Why Our Acne Treatment at Shellharbour Skin Is So Effective

Today, there are many treatment options available, and a multimodal approach consistently delivers better long-term results. Every day, patients come to us at Shellharbour Skin seeking help with managing acne. They trust our expertise and know that our tailored approach makes a difference in their journey toward clearer skin.

The Complexity of Acne

Acne Has Complex Causes:
Acne develops from a mix of factors such as hormonal changes, genetics, bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes), inflammation, and excess sebum production. During consultations, we work to identify each individual’s main triggers—an essential step in our acne management process.

For more detailed information on acne causes, visit the American Academy of Dermatology or visit Dermnet the world’s leading free Dermatology website.

Different Types of Acne:
Acne can present as whiteheads, blackheads, cystic acne, and more. Each type requires a specific treatment plan, and what works for one person may not work for another. Our customised plans at Shellharbour Skin are tailored to meet each patient’s unique needs.

Sensitive and Resistant Skin:
Acne-prone skin can be sensitive to harsh products, and over time, resistance to certain treatments can develop. Our approach balances efficacy with skin tolerance to ensure long-term success.

Emotional Impact:
Acne can significantly affect self-esteem and mental health. At Shellharbour Skin, we recognise that treating acne isn’t just about clear skin—it’s about enhancing your overall well-being.
