ADULT ACNE TREATMENT
Adult acne is a common skin condition that affects people in their 20s, 30s, 40s and beyond. Unlike teenage acne, adult acne is often deeper, more inflamed, and slower to heal. It typically appears along the jawline, chin, cheeks, and neck, and may present as painful cysts, blackheads, congestion, or persistent breakouts.
Adult acne can be frustrating, especially when it appears unexpectedly or continues long after adolescence. It can also impact confidence and skin health if not properly managed.
Why Does Adult Acne Happen?
Adult acne is usually caused by a combination of factors:
-
Hormonal fluctuations (menstrual cycle, pregnancy, menopause)
-
Stress, which increases oil production
-
Excess sebum (oil) clogging pores
-
Bacteria and inflammation
-
Incorrect skincare products
-
Diet and lifestyle factors
-
Medication changes
Hormonal acne is especially common in women and often appears cyclically around the lower face.
How We Treat Adult Acne at Naked Face
At Naked Face, we take a personalised, medical-grade approach to treating adult acne. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Your treatment plan is customised based on your skin type, severity, and underlying triggers.
Treatment Options May Include:
Medical-grade skin peels
Help unclog pores, reduce oil production, and improve skin texture.
LED light therapy
Blue light targets acne-causing bacteria, while red light reduces inflammation and promotes healing.
Advanced skin treatments
Such as microneedling (once acne is controlled) to reduce scarring and improve skin quality.
Professional skincare prescriptions
Targeted homecare products to regulate oil, calm inflammation, and prevent future breakouts.
Lifestyle and hormonal guidance
We help identify internal triggers that may be contributing to persistent acne.
Adult acne often results from hormonal imbalances that trigger excess oil production and inflammation. It typically appears along the jawline, chin, and lower cheeks as stubborn, recurring breakouts. Professional treatments aim to control oil, reduce inflammation, and restore clear, healthy, and balanced skin.
