Acne & Problematic Skin

Target Breakouts and Restore Clearer Skin

Acne and problematic skin can affect people of all ages and may appear as breakouts, blackheads, congestion, excess oil, inflammation or lingering acne marks. At The Lime Tree Clinic, we offer a range of advanced treatments designed to support clearer, healthier-looking skin.

Acne develops when hair follicles (pores) become blocked with excess oil (sebum), dead skin cells and bacteria. This can lead to inflammation, breakouts and, in some cases, acne scarring. Common triggers include hormonal changes, genetics, stress, certain medications and skincare products that may clog the pores.

Because every skin is different, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to acne. Following a personalised consultation, we tailor a treatment plan based on your skin type, acne severity and individual goals. We offer a range of treatments for acne and problematic skin, including:

  • Chemical Peels – exfoliate the skin, unclog pores and help reduce congestion and inflammation.
  • 3 PHASE Acne Clear Skin – a professional topical skincare programme designed to support clearer, healthier-looking skin.
  • Microneedling – stimulates the skin’s natural healing response to improve acne scarring and skin texture.
  • Laser Genesis – a gentle laser treatment that helps reduce acne-causing bacteria, redness and inflammation.
  • Morpheus8 – advanced RF microneedling that targets active acne while stimulating collagen remodelling for acne scars.
  • LED Light Therapy – uses blue and red light wavelengths to help reduce acne-causing bacteria and calm inflamed skin.

What Causes Acne?

Acne is a complex skin condition that develops when several factors occur at the same time. These commonly are:

  • Excess oil (sebum) production
  • Blocked pores caused by dead skin cells
  • Acne-causing bacteria
  • Inflammation within the skin
  • Hormonal fluctuations
  • Genetics
  • Stress
  • Certain medications
  • Cosmetics or skincare products that may clog pores

Understanding what is contributing to your acne helps us recommend the most appropriate treatment for your skin.

Why Isn't My Acne Going Away?

Many people assume acne is simply caused by poor hygiene, but this is a common misconception.

Acne is a medical skin condition influenced by hormones, inflammation and genetics. While over-cleansing or harsh products can sometimes make acne worse, effective treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, controlling oil production, keeping pores clear and supporting healthy skin function.

Depending on the severity of your acne, a combination of in-clinic treatments and personalised skincare may provide the best results.

Advanced Treatments for Acne & Problematic Skin

Chemical peels are professional exfoliating treatments that help improve acne-prone skin by removing dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and reducing inflammation. Commonly formulated with salicylic, glycolic, or lactic acids, these peels are particularly effective for mild-to-moderate and comedonal acne. Results may begin to appear within 48 hours, with optimal improvement typically achieved through a series of 3–6 treatments.

3 PHASE Acne Clear Skin treatment is a topical skincare system formulated to support the appearance of blemish-prone skin. It is designed to help improve skin clarity, refine texture, and promote a balanced-looking complexion. This multi-step approach may assist in reducing the visible signs of breakouts while supporting the skin’s natural renewal processes. Suitable for individuals experiencing mild to persistent blemishes, treatment uses scientifically supported ingredients to help maintain clearer-looking, more radiant skin over time

Microneedling helps accelerate the healing process of existing acne lesions by stimulating the skin’s natural repair response. By promoting collagen production and reducing inflammation, a key factor in acne breakouts, microneedling can support clearer skin while also improving the appearance of acne scarring and uneven texture.

Laser Genesis is a gentle, non-invasive laser treatment with no downtime that helps treat active acne, reduce redness, and improve acne scarring. By gently heating the upper dermis, it helps eliminate acne-causing bacteria, regulate oil production, and stimulate collagen to improve overall skin texture. A series of 4–6 treatments is usually recommended for best results.

It penetrates deep into the skin (up to 4–5 mm) to help reduce sebaceous gland activity while stimulating collagen remodelling. Suitable for all skin types and tones, Morpheus8 typically requires 3–4 sessions for optimal, long-lasting results.
