Microneedling for Acne and Scarring in Croydon
Microneedling uses a fine-needle device to stimulate skin regeneration and improve acne-prone skin. This treatment:
- Promotes collagen production
- Reduces inflammation and clogged pores
- Minimises the appearance of acne scars
- Improves overall skin texture
Microneedling is often recommended in a course of treatments and can be combined with other therapies for enhanced results.
Peels for Acne-Clearing and Skin Renewal
Chemical peels use active ingredients to exfoliate dead skin cells, control oil production, and unclog pores. At 53 Aesthetics, we offer medical-grade peels suited for:
- Active acne breakouts
- Post-inflammatory pigmentation
- Congested, dull, or textured skin
Our peels are tailored to your skin type and acne severity, with little to no downtime required in most cases.
IPL Acne Management with UltraLUX Pro
Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology is used to target acne-causing bacteria and reduce redness and inflammation. Our UltraLUX Pro system provides safe, comfortable treatment that:
- Targets acne bacteria beneath the skin
- Reduces redness and inflammation
- Helps regulate sebum production
- Can be used on the face, chest, or back
Unlike traditional acne lasers, IPL is gentle and suitable for many skin types. It’s especially effective for inflammatory acne and redness-prone skin.
HBOT – Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Skin Recovery
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a wellness-led treatment that supports internal healing and reduces inflammation throughout the body, including the skin. By exposing the body to 100% oxygen at high pressure, HBOT can:
- Reduce acne-related inflammation
- Support immune function and healing
- Speed up recovery from active breakouts
- Complement topical or light-based therapies
Many clients find that HBOT boosts their overall skin clarity and healing capacity when used as part of a combined acne plan.
