Clear skin,
confidently restored.
Personalised acne care that begins with understanding your skin — then treats it with proven science, gentle precision, and a warmth that makes every visit feel easy.
More than a breakout — a story we listen to first.
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in the world — and one of the most misunderstood. It occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and sometimes deeper, painful lesions. It can appear anywhere: face, neck, chest, back, or shoulders.
At Aliva Aesthetics, we don't treat acne as a cosmetic inconvenience. We treat it as a signal — one that tells us something about your hormones, your environment, your lifestyle, and your unique skin. Every treatment plan begins with that story.
Every breakout has a reason.
Understanding the root cause is the first step to clear skin. Acne is rarely the result of a single factor — it's usually a quiet conversation between your hormones, genetics, skin, and environment.
Hormonal Fluctuations
Puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and hormonal shifts increase sebum production, leading to clogged pores and breakouts.
Genetics & Family History
If your parents experienced acne, you may be predisposed. Genetics influence how your skin responds to hormones, oil, and bacteria.
Excess Sebum Production
Overactive sebaceous glands produce too much oil, which combines with dead skin cells to block follicles — the core mechanism of acne.
Stress & Sleep Patterns
Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which in turn triggers inflammation and oil production. Poor sleep worsens the cycle.
Diet & Gut Health
High-glycaemic foods, dairy, and an imbalanced gut microbiome can amplify inflammation and trigger persistent breakouts.
Environment & Skincare
Pollution, humidity, comedogenic cosmetics, and aggressive scrubbing can irritate skin and trigger flare-ups.
Not all breakouts are the same.
Identifying the exact type of acne you have is essential to choosing the right treatment. Our dermatologists evaluate every lesion carefully — because what looks similar on the surface often needs very different care underneath.
Blackheads
Open clogged pores where oil and dead skin oxidise on contact with air, turning dark. Common on the nose, forehead, and chin.
Whiteheads
Closed clogged pores beneath the skin's surface. Small, flesh-coloured bumps that remain trapped and don't oxidise.
Papules
Small, red, tender bumps where the follicle wall has broken down. They're inflamed but have no visible pus or head.
Pustules
Red-based bumps with a white or yellow pus-filled centre. Commonly known as pimples — tender to the touch.
Nodules
Large, painful, solid lumps deep beneath the skin's surface. They don't come to a head and can persist for weeks.
Cysts
The most serious form — soft, pus-filled lumps deep within the skin that can cause scarring if left untreated.
Science, led by compassion.
Our acne treatment philosophy rests on four pillars — listening first, assessing deeply, treating precisely, and caring consistently.
Listen
Every journey starts with your story — medical history, lifestyle, and what you've already tried.
Assess
In-depth skin analysis — type, severity, triggers, and any underlying hormonal or systemic factors.
Treat
A personalised plan combining the most effective, science-backed modalities for your specific skin.
Care
Ongoing support, home-care guidance, and follow-ups — because clear skin is a relationship, not a procedure.
Proven therapies, carefully chosen for you.
We combine modalities thoughtfully — rarely relying on one solution. Your plan may include any of the following treatments, sequenced for maximum effect with minimum downtime.
Chemical Peels
Gentle exfoliation using glycolic, salicylic, or mandelic acids to unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and refine skin texture. Customised to your skin's tolerance.
Laser Therapy
Advanced laser technology targets acne-causing bacteria and reduces sebaceous gland activity. Particularly effective for moderate-to-severe and persistent acne.
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)
A topical photosensitiser is activated by specific light wavelengths to destroy acne bacteria and shrink oil glands — highly effective for stubborn, inflammatory acne.
Blue Light Therapy
Non-invasive, painless treatment that uses specific blue light wavelengths to eliminate acne-causing bacteria deep within the pores — with zero downtime.
Organic Face Therapy
A gentle, botanical-led protocol combining organic cleansers, honey, aloe vera, and tea tree — ideal for sensitive skin or teenagers with mild-to-moderate acne.
Topical & Oral Medications
Dermatologist-prescribed retinoids, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatories — carefully calibrated to your skin type, severity, and overall health.
Carbon Laser Facial
A carbon mask is applied, then gently lasered off — drawing out impurities, exfoliating deeply, and reducing pore size in a single session.
PRP Therapy
Platelet-rich plasma drawn from your own blood stimulates healing, reduces inflammation, and promotes new skin cell regeneration — particularly effective for post-acne recovery.

What Our Clients Say
Your questions, answered honestly.
Here are some of the most common questions we hear from people just starting their acne journey. If yours isn't here, our team is always happy to talk.
Most people begin noticing improvements within 2–4 weeks of starting treatment. Significant, visible change typically occurs by 8–12 weeks, depending on the severity and the treatments used. Deep cystic acne may take longer, while mild acne often clears sooner.
Most of our treatments are comfortable and virtually painless. Some modalities like laser therapy may cause mild tingling or warmth, while chemical peels can produce a brief stinging sensation. We use topical numbing creams where needed and always prioritise your comfort.
It depends on the severity of your acne and the treatments chosen. Mild acne may require 3–4 sessions, while moderate to severe cases typically need 6–10 sessions. Your dermatologist will provide a clear, realistic session plan during your consultation.
Acne is often influenced by hormones and lifestyle, so occasional breakouts can happen. However, a proper treatment plan combined with good home-care and periodic maintenance sessions significantly reduces the likelihood of major recurrence.
Side effects are typically minimal — mild redness, dryness, or temporary sensitivity. Severe side effects are rare because every treatment is dermatologist-supervised and matched to your skin type. We'll walk you through exactly what to expect before starting.
For most treatments, we recommend waiting 24 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin to recover. For deeper treatments like chemical peels or lasers, the waiting period may extend to 48–72 hours. We'll give you clear, written aftercare guidance.
Yes. Teenage skin is more reactive and still developing, so we use gentler protocols — often starting with organic face therapies and mild peels. Our dermatologists also talk openly with teens about skincare habits, diet, and lifestyle in a way that feels supportive, never lecturing.
Costs vary based on your treatment plan, session count, and the specific modalities used. After your consultation, we'll provide a clear, transparent quote — no hidden fees, no pressure to upgrade. We also offer flexible session packages for long-term care.
Your journey to clear skin starts with a conversation.
