From hormonal shifts to inflammation and post-acne scars, breakouts can happen at any age — and for many reasons. At Bespoke Aesthetics, we approach acne with medical precision and gentle, tailored care. Every plan is customised to your skin’s current needs, acne severity, and long-term recovery goals.

What Is Acne?

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. While it’s often associated with teens, it frequently affects adults — especially women in their 20s to 40s.

If left untreated, acne can result in persistent inflammation, pigmentation, and scarring.

Acne is a complex skin condition caused by multiple interacting factors.

Excess oil production (often driven by hormonal shifts)

Clogged pores from dead skin cells or improper skincare

C. acnes bacteria buildup within blocked follicles

Inflammation that worsens breakouts and may lead to scarring

Additional triggers: stress, high-GI diets, medication, PCOS, poor skincare habits.

Types of Acne

Acne presents in several forms — each with different severities and treatment needs

Whiteheads (closed comedones): Clogged follicles beneath the skin.
Blackheads (open comedones): Clogged pores exposed to air, causing oxidation.

Typically non-inflammatory; best treated with exfoliants, topical retinoids, and regular facials.

Papules: Small, red, tender bumps.
Pustules: Pimples filled with pus at the tip.

Indicates bacterial involvement; often treated with lasers, topicals, or oral medication.

Nodules: Large, painful, firm lumps beneath the surface.
Cysts: Deep, pus-filled breakouts with high risk of scarring.

More severe and often requires oral isotretinoin, steroid injections, or combination therapies.

Typically seen along the jawline, chin, or cheeks.
May flare around menstrual cycles or stress.
Often managed with hormonal therapy, gentle in-clinic treatments, and long-term skin maintenance.

At Bespoke Aesthetics, acne is never approached with a one-size-fits-all solution.
