Acne &
Acne Scarring
Comprehensive acne management and scar revision treatments. From active breakouts to long-standing scarring, our dermal therapists create personalised treatment plans across 6 Perth clinics.
What Happens During
Your Visit
Your initial appointment is a comprehensive skin assessment with one of our experienced dermal therapists. We examine your skin under professional lighting and magnification, discuss your history with acne, and identify the specific type of acne or scarring you are dealing with.
From there, we build a personalised treatment plan that may combine multiple modalities for the best possible outcome. Every plan is tailored to your skin type, concerns, and lifestyle.
Skin Analysis
Your therapist examines your skin condition, identifies acne type and scarring patterns, and assesses your skin’s overall health and sensitivity levels.
Customised Plan
A treatment plan is created combining the most effective modalities for your specific concerns, whether that is active acne, scarring, or both.
First Treatment
In many cases, your first treatment can begin during the same appointment. Your therapist guides you through every step and sets expectations for healing and results.
Acne Concerns
We Address
Active Acne
Persistent breakouts including whiteheads, blackheads, papules, and cystic acne. We target the root causes of active acne with treatments that reduce inflammation, control oil production, and promote clear skin.
Ice Pick Scars
Deep, narrow scars that extend into the dermis, creating small but noticeable pitted marks. These are among the most common acne scars and respond well to skin needling and targeted resurfacing treatments.
Rolling Scars
Broad depressions with sloping edges that give the skin an uneven, wave-like texture. These scars are caused by fibrous bands pulling the skin downward and can be effectively treated with collagen-stimulating therapies.
Boxcar Scars
Round or oval depressions with sharp, defined edges. Wider than ice pick scars, boxcar scars create a pockmarked appearance and benefit from treatments that stimulate new collagen formation at the base of the scar.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation
Dark marks left behind after acne heals, ranging from pink and red to brown and purple. While not true scars, these marks can persist for months and are effectively treated with chemical peels and LED therapy.
Hormonal Acne
Breakouts that typically appear along the jawline, chin, and lower cheeks, often cyclical and related to hormonal fluctuations. Treatment combines clinical therapies with targeted homecare to manage ongoing flare-ups.
Acne & Acne Scarring
Treatments in Perth
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in Australia, affecting people of all ages from teenagers through to adults in their 40s and beyond. While many people associate acne with adolescence, adult-onset acne is increasingly prevalent, particularly among women experiencing hormonal changes. Left untreated, persistent acne can lead to permanent scarring that affects both appearance and confidence.
At Skin Societe, our dermal therapists are experienced in treating all forms of acne and acne scarring. We take an evidence-based approach, combining advanced clinical treatments with medical-grade homecare to deliver lasting results. With 6 clinics across Perth, expert acne treatment is always within reach.
Understanding Acne
Acne develops when hair follicles become blocked with oil and dead skin cells. Bacteria trapped within these blocked pores triggers inflammation, leading to the red, swollen breakouts most people recognise. The severity ranges from mild comedonal acne (blackheads and whiteheads) through to severe cystic acne that affects deeper layers of the skin.
Contributing factors include genetics, hormonal fluctuations, stress, diet, and incorrect skincare. Many over-the-counter products can actually worsen acne by stripping the skin barrier, causing rebound oil production and increased sensitivity. A professional assessment helps identify the specific drivers of your acne so treatment can be properly targeted.
Types of Acne Scarring
Acne scarring occurs when the skin’s healing process is disrupted by inflammation. The type of scar that forms depends on how much collagen the body produces during healing. Too little collagen creates atrophic scars (ice pick, rolling, and boxcar scars), while too much creates raised hypertrophic scars. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, while technically not scarring, leaves persistent dark marks that can take months to fade naturally.
Early intervention is key. The sooner acne is brought under control, the less opportunity there is for permanent scarring to develop. For existing scars, modern treatment technologies can significantly improve skin texture and appearance over a series of sessions.
Our Treatment Approach
We use a combination of proven clinical treatments tailored to each client’s specific type of acne or scarring. Skin needling (also known as collagen induction therapy) creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, making it highly effective for atrophic scarring. Chemical peels accelerate cell turnover to clear congestion, reduce active breakouts, and fade post-inflammatory marks. LED light therapy uses specific wavelengths to kill acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation without any downtime.
- Skin needling for scar remodelling and texture improvement
- Chemical peels for active acne, congestion, and pigmentation
- LED light therapy for inflammation and bacterial control
- Medical-grade skincare for daily management and prevention
- Combination protocols for complex or multi-type concerns

What Our
Clients Say
Real reviews from clients who have undergone acne treatments at our Perth clinics.
“After years of struggling with cystic acne, I finally found a team that actually understood my skin. The combination of skin needling and LED therapy has completely transformed my complexion. I wish I had come here sooner.”

Frequently Asked
Acne scarring occurs when inflamed breakouts damage the skin’s deeper layers. The body produces collagen to repair the damage, but if too little or too much collagen is produced, a scar forms. Picking or squeezing breakouts significantly increases the risk of permanent scarring, which is why professional treatment of active acne is so important.
The number of sessions depends on the severity of your acne or scarring. Most clients see noticeable improvement after 3-4 sessions, with significant results after 6 or more. For active acne, ongoing maintenance sessions may be recommended to keep breakouts under control. Your therapist will outline a clear treatment plan during your first visit.
A topical numbing cream is applied before skin needling to ensure comfort during the treatment. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild prickling or vibrating feeling. The treatment is well-tolerated and your therapist adjusts the intensity based on your comfort level and the area being treated.
Downtime varies by treatment. Skin needling typically involves 1-3 days of redness similar to sunburn. Chemical peels may cause mild flaking for 2-5 days depending on the peel strength. LED light therapy has zero downtime. Your therapist will provide detailed aftercare instructions and advise on what to expect for your specific treatment.
Yes. In many cases we address both concerns simultaneously using different modalities. For example, LED therapy and gentle chemical peels can manage active breakouts while skin needling works on scarring in areas where the acne is controlled. Your therapist will design a protocol that safely addresses both concerns without compromising results.
Acne is a chronic condition that can be managed very effectively but may require ongoing care. We equip you with a tailored homecare routine and recommend maintenance treatments to keep your skin clear long-term. Many clients find that with the right routine and periodic professional treatments, their acne remains well-controlled.
