Acne Treatment
Melbourne
Professional, personalised treatments for active acne and acne scarring at our boutique skin clinic in Malvern East — without harsh side effects or cookie-cutter protocols.
Clear Skin Starts
With the Right Plan
Acne is one of the most common yet most misunderstood skin conditions. It's not caused by poor hygiene — it's a complex interplay of bacteria, sebum, inflammation, and often hormonal factors. Getting clear skin requires understanding your specific triggers.
At K Aesthetics Studio in Malvern East, we begin every acne treatment journey with a thorough consultation. We assess your skin type, acne grade, lifestyle and history before recommending a protocol — because the right treatment for one person can actively worsen another's skin.
Our treatments range from LED blue light therapy (clinically proven to reduce acne-causing bacteria) to customised medi facials and chemical peels that decongest pores and regulate oil production. For established acne scarring, SYLFIRM X RF microneedling delivers exceptional remodelling results without aggressive downtime.

Acne Concerns We
Address at the Studio
Active Breakouts
Inflammatory papules, pustules and cysts — we reduce bacterial load, calm inflammation and prevent new breakouts from forming.
Congested Pores
Whiteheads, blackheads and comedones are addressed through careful extraction and pore-refining treatments that reduce congestion without stripping the skin.
Acne Scarring
Ice-pick, rolling and boxcar scars are treated with SYLFIRM X RF microneedling, which stimulates collagen remodelling deep within the dermis.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation
Red or dark marks left after breakouts clear are addressed with targeted pigmentation correction and brightening protocols.
Oily & Congested Skin
We regulate sebum production and rebalance the skin microbiome to create a less acne-prone environment over time.
Adult & Hormonal Acne
Adult acne — particularly in women — often has hormonal drivers. We tailor protocols to hormonal patterns and cycles for more effective, sustainable outcomes.

FAQs
What acne treatments are available at K Aesthetics Studio?
We offer LED blue light therapy, customised medi facials and chemical peels, and SYLFIRM X RF microneedling for acne scarring. All treatments begin with a thorough consultation to determine the most appropriate protocol for your skin type and acne severity.
Can you treat both active acne and acne scarring?
Yes. We address active acne first with LED therapy, facials and peels. Once breakouts are under control, we tackle residual scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation using SYLFIRM X and pigmentation correction protocols.
Is LED light therapy effective for acne?
Yes — blue LED light has strong clinical evidence for acne treatment. It targets acne-causing bacteria without the side effects associated with topical antibiotics. We often combine blue with yellow and red wavelengths to reduce inflammation and accelerate healing.
How many sessions will I need?
For active acne, a course of 6–10 LED sessions spaced 1–2 weeks apart is typical. For acne scarring, SYLFIRM X usually requires 3–5 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. A full plan is provided at your consultation.
Do I need to stop my current skincare or medications?
We discuss all current medications, skincare and topicals during your consultation. Certain ingredients (retinoids, antibiotics, Accutane) require specific management before some treatments. We will never proceed with any treatment until we've reviewed your full history.
