Advanced Treatments For Acne Disorder

In addition to traditional treatments, we offer scientifically proven therapies at our ISO-accredited clinics in Ireland:

What it is ?

Phototherapy uses light to treat acne. Special lights help reduce redness and inflammation.

How it helps ?

The light targets the acne-causing bacteria and helps to reduce the size and redness of pimples.

What to expect ?

During the treatment, you will sit or lie down while the light is directed at your skin. It's painless and usually takes a short time.

What it is ?

A chemical peel is a treatment where a special solution is applied to your skin to remove dead skin cells.

How it helps?

It helps to clear your pores, reduce acne, and improve the overall texture of your skin.

What to expect ?

The solution might cause a tingling sensation. After a few days, the top layer of your skin will peel off, revealing fresher, clearer skin underneath.

What it is ?

Microneedling involves using tiny needles to create small holes in the top layer of your skin.

How it helps ?

This process stimulates your skin to heal and produce more collagen, which can reduce acne scars and improve skin texture.

What to expect ?

The procedure feels like tiny pinpricks and may cause slight redness afterward, but it helps your skin become smoother over time.

Acne Treatment FAQs

Medical acne treatment focuses on addressing the underlying causes of acne, such as excess oil production, blocked pores, bacteria, and inflammation. Depending on your skin and acne type, treatment may include topical or oral medication, combined with in-clinic therapies like phototherapy, chemical peels, or microneedling. The goal is not just to clear existing breakouts, but to prevent new ones from forming and improve overall skin health over time.

Acne treatment is the process of diagnosing the cause of acne, and applying the best approach to tackle this inflammation.

Acne improvement is gradual. Some patients notice early changes within a few weeks, but clearer and more stable results usually develop over 6 to 12 weeks. This timeframe allows the skin to respond properly to treatment and for inflammation to settle. Ongoing improvement continues as the treatment plan is adjusted based on your response.

Many patients achieve significant clearing and long-term control of their acne. However, results vary depending on acne severity, hormonal factors, and skin type. The aim is to reduce breakouts, calm inflammation, and maintain clearer skin rather than promise instant or permanent clearance. Maintenance treatment may be recommended to keep results stable.

Patient care has always been at the forefront of everything we do, this is why we are a leading cosmetic surgery provider in Ireland. We believe that ‘aftercare’ is just as important a part of the entire cosmetic treatment procedure as the treatment itself. With Auralia, you can be rest assured that all your aftercare needs will be completely fulfilled, providing you the support you need for a fast and stress-free recovery.

Yes. Acne treatment is suitable for both teenagers and adults, including adult-onset and hormonal acne. Adult acne often requires a different approach, which is why treatment is always personalised. During consultation, we assess your skin, lifestyle, and triggers to choose the most appropriate plan.

Most acne treatments are well tolerated. Topical and oral medications do not cause discomfort. In-clinic treatments such as phototherapy, chemical peels, or microneedling may cause mild tingling or temporary sensitivity, but this is usually short-lived. We always tailor treatment intensity to your comfort level.

Yes. Treating acne early and effectively can significantly reduce the risk of acne scarring. By controlling inflammation and active breakouts, we help protect the skin from long-term damage. In some cases, microneedling or other treatments may be used to improve early scarring or post-acne marks.

Acne is often a long-term condition, particularly when influenced by hormones or genetics. Many patients benefit from a maintenance plan once acne is under control. This may involve continued topical treatment, lifestyle guidance, or occasional in-clinic therapies to maintain clear, healthy skin.
