Adult Acne: A Modern Approach to Clearer Skin

acne treatment in Dublin

Acne isn’t just a teenage concern - many adults find themselves facing breakouts long past their school years. Hormones, stress, diet, and even lifestyle habits can all contribute to persistent blemishes that affect not just the skin, but self-confidence too. The good news? Adult acne is treatable with the right combination of clinical care and consistent home routine.

Here’s how we approach adult acne in the clinic:

1. Thorough Consultation & Skin Analysis

Adult skin has its own mood swings - and they often come without warning. That’s why our process starts with an in-depth consultation to explore potential acne triggers, including hormonal fluctuations, stress, diet, and skincare habits. Using professional skin analysis and years of experience, we assess your skin type and condition to create a truly tailored treatment plan.

2. Customised Treatment Plans

Our clinic specialises in evidence-based, results-driven solutions for adult acne. Here are the most popular options we offer:

• Medical-Grade AlumierMD Peels

  These advanced formulations contain powerful ingredients like salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol to gently exfoliate, clear pores, and reduce inflammation. They're designed to treat active acne while improving skin texture, clarity, and tone - without compromising the skin barrier or scary severe flakiness.

  
  

• Laser Treatments with Candela Nordlys

  Our dual-wavelength technology targets acne-causing bacteria, regulates oil production, and reduces inflammation. Bonus? It also treats post-inflammatory pigmentation, fading those stubborn red or brown marks left behind after a breakout.

  
  

• HydraCool Plus with Deep Cleanse

  Forget old-school extractions - this advanced facial combines deep pore cleansing, cooling hydration, and a tailored serum infusion to unclog congested skin without irritation and get rid of the blackheads. It’s the ultimate detox for acne-prone complexions.

  
  

• Microneedling or RF Microneedling

  Once active acne is under control, microneedling helps reduce acne scarring and boost collagen production. It smooths out texture irregularities and helps restore a more even, refined complexion over time.

  
  

3. Professional Skincare Support

Results don’t stop when you leave the clinic. We work with you to build a simple, effective homecare routine using medical-grade AlumierMD products, formulated specifically for problematic and acne-prone skin. Think targeted serums, gentle exfoliants, and non-comedogenic moisturisers designed to balance oil production, calm inflammation, and keep your skin barrier healthy.

We help you cut through the marketing noise and choose products that actually suit your skin, not your influencer feed.

4. Holistic Skin + Hormone Strategy

For many adults, breakouts are more than skin deep. If your acne is driven by hormonal imbalances (hello, jawline spots!), we may recommend collaborating with your GP or hormonal specialist for additional support. We also encourage lifestyle changes like stress management, better sleep, and gut-friendly nutrition to support your skin from the inside out.

5. Long-Term Results Through Consistency

Adult acne doesn’t clear overnight - but with a consistent, tailored approach, it does get better. Our mission? To treat what’s there, prevent what’s coming, and guide you with expert care every step of the way. Because you deserve more than guesswork and cover-up - you deserve confidence in your bare skin.

Whether you're dealing with stubborn hormonal spots or recurring flare-ups, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. Book a consultation with our expert therapists and let us build a plan that gets your skin (and your confidence) glowing again.
