Treating Acne From the Inside Out
Congestion, inflammation, excess oil and barrier impairment can be influenced by internal and external factors, including hormones, gut health, nutrition, the skin microbiome, stress and lifestyle.
At Skin Space, successful acne management starts with understanding your skin, not simply treating the breakout — addressing contributing factors to restore healthier skin function and work towards clearer, stronger and more resilient skin.

45min | AHA/BHA Chemical Peel | Multiply Treatments Recommended
Break the breakout cycle with an advanced acne treatment built around professionally selected AHA/BHA chemical peels, tailored to your skin type, acne presentation and current barrier health. Peel strengths and timings are carefully selected and progressively adjusted to target abnormal cell build-up, congestion, acne-causing bacteria, inflammation and excess sebaceous activity without unnecessarily compromising the skin barrier.
Extractions, restorative light therapy and targeted calming and reparative actives support clearer pores, skin recovery and healthy repair while helping regulate the processes that contribute to recurring breakouts.
For best results, AcneClear™ is highly recommended as a progressive series of 3–6 treatments over approximately 6–12 weeks, supported by personalised home care and skin education to work towards clearer, healthier and more resilient skin.

BARRIER RESTORE™ JOURNEY | 3-Treatment Skin Recovery Program
🐅🌱 Breakouts, redness and a compromised skin barrier? Your skin doesn't always need another peel or more products. Sometimes, it needs a reset.
Designed for acne-prone, inflamed and sensitised skin, this restorative program combines
3 x Tiger Grass Facials to calm visible redness, replenish hydration and support skin barrier repair.
Each treatment focuses on soothing inflammation, strengthening the skin's protective barrier and restoring balance without aggressive exfoliation.
Calm the inflammation. Rebuild the barrier. Restore skin confidence.
REMODEL. REBUILD. RENEW.
Acne scars don't have to define your skin. Our intensive Scar Revision Program uses 3 advanced microneedling treatments to stimulate collagen production, remodel scar tissue and progressively improve the appearance of atrophic acne scarring, uneven texture and skin irregularities.
Each treatment includes topical numbing cream for comfort, personalised skin preparation and a tailored recovery protocol.
IMPORTANT: This is an intensive corrective program requiring appropriate skin preparation, strict aftercare and planned recovery time. Redness, swelling and sensitivity are expected, with downtime varying according to treatment intensity. Sessions are generally spaced 4–6 weeks apart, depending on skin recovery.
A clinical skin assessment is essential to determine scar type, skin suitability and realistic treatment outcomes. Active inflammatory acne must be appropriately managed before treatment.
Real skin revision takes time. Invest in the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
There is no one timeline for acne. Some clients may notice early changes in inflammation, congestion or the frequency of new breakouts relatively quickly, while significant improvement usually develops progressively over several skin cycles.
As a general guide, we look for meaningful progress over approximately 6–12 weeks, but this can be shorter or considerably longer depending on the type and severity of acne, hormonal influences, skin barrier health, treatment chosen and how long the acne has been present.
Consistency has a major impact on results. Following your treatment program, using appropriate skincare consistently and addressing relevant lifestyle or dietary factors gives us a much clearer picture of how your skin is responding.
Rather than promising a fixed timeframe, we review and adapt your treatment as your skin changes — with the goal of reducing active breakouts, preventing new lesions and creating sustainable long-term improvement.
Most clients begin with a course of 3–6 AcneClear™ treatments, approximately two weeks apart, but your program is tailored to your acne, skin condition and response to treatment.
We assess your progress throughout the program and adjust treatments, skincare and barrier support as your skin changes. Acne management takes consistency — clinical guidelines commonly assess meaningful treatment response over approximately 8–12 weeks, rather than expecting one treatment to do all the work.
For persistent, hormonal or more complex acne, we may also recommend medical or allied-health support alongside your Skin Space program.
The right acne skincare starts with understanding what your skin actually needs. Is it oily yet dehydrated, congested, inflamed, sensitised or barrier impaired? These differences matter when deciding which ingredients will help — and which may be making things worse.
That doesn’t mean throwing away your existing routine.
We review what you already use, keep what is supporting your skin, minimise products that may be exacerbating it, and recommend only where genuine gaps exist.
We then show you how to use your skincare effectively — what belongs in your AM and PM routine, which actives can be combined, when to exfoliate and when your skin needs hydration, nourishment or barrier support.
Where appropriate, we may also recommend speaking with your GP or dermatologist about prescription acne treatments that can work alongside your professional treatment and home care plan.
The goal is a simple, purposeful routine you understand and can consistently follow, giving both you and your skin time to determine what is actually working.
