FAQ's
What Is the Best Treatment for Acne and Breakouts?
There is no single treatment that is best for every type of acne or breakout-prone skin. The right approach depends on the type and severity of your breakouts, your skin condition, current skincare routine and whether you are also experiencing concerns such as sensitivity, congestion, pigmentation or acne scarring.
At Fixation Skincare & Laser Clinic in Sheffield, we take a personalised approach to acne-prone skin. Depending on your individual needs, your treatment plan may include professional facials, prescriptive chemical peels, microneedling or other advanced skin treatments alongside an appropriate home skincare routine.
The first step is understanding what is happening within your skin. Our Skin Therapists can assess your skin and recommend a treatment plan designed to manage breakouts, support skin health and improve the overall appearance and condition of your complexion.
Can Professional Facials Help With Acne?
Professional facials can be beneficial for acne-prone, congested and breakout-prone skin when the treatment is selected appropriately for your individual skin.
Rather than simply trying to dry out spots, professional acne facials can focus on managing excess oil, reducing congestion, supporting healthy skin function and improving the overall condition of the skin. Treatments can also be adapted as your skin changes throughout your treatment journey.
At our Sheffield skin clinic, we offer a range of facial and advanced skin treatments that can be incorporated into a personalised plan for acne-prone skin. Your Skin Therapist will recommend the most appropriate treatment based on your current skin rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Why Am I Still Getting Acne as an Adult?
Acne is not limited to teenagers. Adult acne and recurring breakouts are extremely common and can be influenced by several factors, including hormones, stress, lifestyle, skincare products, excess oil production and congestion.
Adult breakouts commonly appear around areas such as the chin, jawline and lower face, although acne can occur anywhere on the face and body. Some people may experience persistent acne from their teenage years, while others develop breakouts for the first time during adulthood.
Understanding the possible factors contributing to your breakouts is an important part of managing acne-prone skin. At Fixation Skincare & Laser Clinic, we assess your skin, current routine and concerns before recommending professional treatments and homecare to support your individual skin.
Can You Treat Acne Scars and Marks Left by Spots?
Yes, there are professional skin treatments that can help improve the appearance of certain types of acne scarring and post-acne marks. However, active acne and acne scarring are different concerns and may require different treatment approaches.
Red or darker marks left behind after a breakout can gradually improve as the skin recovers, while textural acne scarring may require more advanced treatments designed to stimulate skin renewal and collagen production.
At Fixation Skincare & Laser Clinic in Sheffield, treatment options for post-acne skin may include microneedling, professional chemical peels and advanced laser treatments depending on the type of scarring, pigmentation and your individual skin.
If you have both active breakouts and acne scarring, we may recommend initially focusing on controlling and improving the active acne before progressing to treatments specifically targeting residual marks or scars.
How Do I Know Which Acne Treatment Is Right for My Skin?
If you have tried multiple acne products or treatments without knowing exactly what your skin needs, we recommend beginning with a professional skin consultation.
At Fixation Skincare & Laser Clinic in Sheffield, we use our OBSERV 520 Skin Scanner as part of our approach to professional skin analysis. The advanced imaging system allows our Skin Therapists to look beyond what is immediately visible on the surface and assess factors including congestion, redness, pigmentation and the overall condition of your skin.
We will also discuss your breakout history, current skincare routine, previous treatments, lifestyle and what you would like to achieve.
From there, we can create a personalised acne skin plan combining appropriate professional treatments with home skincare recommendations. As your skin changes, your treatment plan can also be reviewed and adapted to continue supporting your progress.
You don't need to know which facial or treatment to book before visiting us. Our Skin Therapists can use your consultation and OBSERV 520 skin analysis to help you understand your skin and determine the best place to start.
