Is this you?

This treatment may be worth considering if

  • Recurring breakouts that skincare alone can't control
  • Noticeably inflamed acne that needs anti-inflammatory injection
  • Want to combine it with regular resurfacing for ongoing skin management
  • Need a doctor's prescription to help manage acne

What this treatment is

Our acne treatment is matched to how inflamed your skin is: anti-inflammatory injections go directly into active breakouts, combined with Apple Toning or LHALA Peel resurfacing or laser, and a prescription is provided to help with daily management. It combines in-clinic treatment with medical management.

What you can expect

Changes you'll notice afterward

  • Inflamed breakouts typically settle within a few days after anti-inflammatory injection
  • Skin texture improves gradually with resurfacing or laser sessions
  • A doctor's prescription helps control acne day to day, reducing recurrence
  • Ongoing sessions combined with skincare keep overall skin condition stable

Actual results and sensation vary by person. Your doctor will explain what to expect for your skin at your consultation.

How your doctor decides

Your doctor checks how inflamed your acne is and how widespread it is to decide the number of anti-inflammatory injections and whether to add resurfacing or laser, and will assess whether a prescription is needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to take medication alongside acne treatment?

Depending on severity, your doctor may provide a prescription to help manage it. Whether medication is needed is decided at your consultation.

How often should I get acne treatment?

That depends on how active the acne is and your skin condition. We typically plan a series of sessions combined with daily skincare, and your doctor will suggest a frequency at your consultation.

Do the anti-inflammatory injections and extraction hurt?

Anti-inflammatory injection does cause mild stinging, and extraction may cause slight discomfort, but both are generally within a manageable range.

How do I choose between Apple Toning and LHALA Peel?

Both combine resurfacing with extraction, anti-inflammatory injection, and a prescription. The main difference is the resurfacing method itself; your doctor will decide based on your skin at your consultation.
