Understanding Acne and Its Causes
Acne is a chronic skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It’s often linked to hormonal fluctuations, stress, genetics, certain medications, and lifestyle triggers.
Breakouts typically affect the face, chest, shoulders, and back. They may appear as blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, nodules, or cysts. If not treated effectively, acne can lead to long-term damage, including scarring, skin thickening, and pigmentation.
At rtwskin, we offer comprehensive acne therapy treatments designed to address not only visible blemishes but also the underlying causes within the skin. Our personalised approach includes advanced dermatological therapies to effectively manage severe acne cases, including cystic acne, and to prevent and treat acne scars. We tailor each treatment plan to meet the unique needs of our patients, ensuring optimal results and improved skin health.

How It Works
Our acne treatments are based on a layered approach combining dermatological science and cosmetic innovation.
- Topical phase: Active ingredients such as retinoids, salicylic acid or antibiotics reduce inflammation and kill acne-causing bacteria.
- In-clinic phase: Procedures like chemical peels, extraction facials, and laser treatments help reduce acne breakouts and improve skin clarity.
- Restorative phase: Focuses on rebuilding the skin barrier and minimising long-term damage through treatments such as microneedling with exosomes, acne-targeted laser therapy, and LED light therapy.
- Maintenance phase: Ongoing care and review prevent relapse and help maintain results.
If you’re experiencing severe or cystic acne, or persistent breakouts, it’s essential to consult our dermatologist. Cystic acne is a deep, painful form of acne that often doesn’t respond to standard skincare products and can lead to permanent scarring if left untreated.
Our dermatologist can provide specialised care to address the underlying causes of your acne, such as hormonal imbalances or medication-related triggers. They may recommend treatments like prescription medications, steroid injections, or advanced procedures to effectively manage and reduce breakouts.
Steroid spot injections, also known as intralesional corticosteroid injections or kenalog injection for acne and injection for pimples, are a targeted treatment for severe acne lesions such as cysts and nodules. By delivering a corticosteroid directly into the inflamed area, these injections can rapidly reduce inflammation, swelling, and discomfort.
Early intervention is crucial to minimise long-term skin damage and address any associated emotional distress. Delaying treatment can lead to more severe scarring and prolonged psychological impact.
