Let’s dive into getting clearer skin…

Acne affects more than just your skin — it can impact your confidence, self-esteem, and even how you show up in the world. And you’re not alone: in June, we recognise Acne Awareness Month, a time to open the conversation around one of the most common yet complex skin conditions.

Earlier this month, I asked my Instagram community which acne-related issues they’re struggling with most. The answers?

• Active acne
• Scarring
• Redness and pigmentation
• Blackheads and whiteheads

At WRINKLESS in Stevenage, we’re shining a light on Acne Awareness Month by sharing expert advice and treatment options that go beyond over-the-counter products 

Active Acne: It’s Not Just About What You See

Acne is often hormonal, especially in adult women, and treating it successfully requires more than just surface-level skincare. At WRINKLESS, we address the root cause.

Solutions at WRINKLESS include:

• Prescribed topical treatments like retinoids, antibiotics or anti-inflammatory agents to target bacteria, oil production and skin turnover.
• Oral medication when needed — including antibiotics or hormonal treatments — to reduce deeper inflammation and bring persistent breakouts under control.
• Bespoke skincare plans to maintain results and support the skin barrier during treatment.

Acne isn’t one-size-fits-all, and your treatment shouldn’t be either.

Post-Acne Scarring: Smoothing Texture, Not Just Covering It

If you’re left with uneven skin surface after acne, you’re likely dealing with *atrophic (indented) acne scars*. These can be challenging to treat, but with the right approach, they can be significantly improved. 

Our treatments include:

• Polynucleotide skin boosters, which support collagen production and improve skin structure from within.
• Soft fillers, strategically placed beneath depressed scars to lift them and smooth the skin’s surface.
• Microneedling with mesotherapy, using specialised solutions to stimulate skin regeneration.
• Medium to deep chemical peels, designed to remodel deeper layers of the skin and promote collagen renewal.

Each treatment is selected based on the type and depth of scarring — and your individual skin.

Redness & Pigmentation: Understanding PIE and PIH

After a breakout heals, it may leave a mark. This could be:

1. PIE (Post-Inflammatory Erythema) – red or pink marks due to residual inflammation, often in fair skin types.
2. PIH (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation) – brown spots or patches, especially common in deeper skin tones.

At Wrinkless, we treat both using:

• Tailored skincare with ingredients to calm inflammation, such as PHA-based formulas, redness serums, and polynucleotide serums.
• Pigment support ingredients like azelaic acid, niacinamide, and tyrosinase inhibitors to fade PIH.
• Chemical peels, selected for your skin type and concern, to speed up cell turnover and even tone.

If you’ve been googling — "how to fade acne pigmentation fast?", we’ve got you covered.

⚪️⚫️ Blackheads & Whiteheads: Comedonal Acne Explained

Blackheads and whiteheads are caused by clogged pores — known as comedonal acne. These bumps form when oil and dead skin cells block the hair follicles.

Here’s how we manage it:

• Exfoliation-led skincare, focusing on clearing congestion and regulating cell turnover.
• A third-generation retinol, specially formulated to prevent skin build-up without irritation — a game-changer for sensitive or breakout-prone skin.
• Chemical peels to deeply cleanse the pores and improve skin texture over time.

Clear pores = calmer skin. And prevention is just as important as treatment.

At WRINKLESS, we take acne seriously — because it is a medical condition, not a cosmetic inconvenience. Your consultation includes a full assessment, a complimentary   Observ Skin scan, and together, we’ll build a personalised treatment plan that gets to the root of your concerns.
