Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. It can appear as blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, papules, pustules, nodules, or cysts, typically on the face, back, chest, and shoulders. If your breakouts are mainly on your body, see our dedicated back acne treatments in Brisbane.

Acne can be triggered by a range of internal and external factors, including:
It’s not just a teenage issue many adults experience persistent or late-onset acne as well.

All acne treatments at Injex Clinics require a professional consultation to determine suitability. Individual results vary, and no outcome can be guaranteed.
Some clients notice early changes after their first acne treatment, such as reduced redness or inflammation. However, acne is a chronic and multifactorial skin condition influenced by oil production, inflammation, bacteria, hormones, and lifestyle factors.
Clinical research shows that most acne treatments require a series of sessions over time to support meaningful and sustained improvement. A review published in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology found that ongoing and combination acne treatment approaches were more effective for many patients than single, isolated treatments.
At Injex Clinics, your practitioner will discuss realistic timeframes and develop a personalised treatment plan based on your skin type, acne severity, and contributing factors. Individual responses vary.
Yes. Acne is not limited to teenagers. Adult acne is increasingly common, particularly among women.
Research published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology reported that up to 54% of women over the age of 25 experience acne, often associated with hormonal changes, stress, and lifestyle factors.
Adult acne often behaves differently from adolescent acne and may require a more tailored approach. At Injex Clinics, treatments are customised based on age, skin behaviour, and contributing triggers rather than using a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Yes. Acne is not limited to teenagers and can affect adults, particularly women.
A community-based study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology reported that facial acne was present in 54% of women and 40% of men over the age of 25. Adult acne may be influenced by factors such as hormonal changes, stress, skincare products, and other individual triggers.
Adult acne can behave differently from adolescent acne, so a tailored treatment plan may be recommended. At Injex Clinics, acne treatments are customised based on your age, skin behaviour, acne pattern, and contributing factors rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Hormonal acne commonly presents as deeper, persistent breakouts around the jawline, chin, and lower face. While Injex Clinics does not prescribe hormonal medication, our treatments can help reduce inflammation, congestion, and the appearance of breakouts associated with hormonal fluctuations.
Your practitioner will assess your skin holistically and may recommend a combination of in-clinic treatments and supportive skincare strategies designed to help manage flare-ups over time.
Possibly. Many common skincare products contain ingredients that can worsen acne-prone skin, even when marketed as gentle or natural.
During your consultation, your practitioner will review your current skincare routine and identify potential triggers. Acne-prone skin often benefits from non-comedogenic, barrier-supportive formulations, and adjustments may be recommended to support your in-clinic treatments and overall skin health.
Most acne treatments at Injex Clinics involve minimal downtime, allowing clients to return to normal activities quickly.
Some treatments, such as chemical peels, may cause light peeling, while skin needling can result in temporary redness that typically settles within 24–48 hours. Your practitioner will explain what to expect and provide personalised aftercare advice to support recovery.
After most acne treatments, it is recommended to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup. This allows the skin barrier time to settle and reduces the risk of irritation or congestion.
When makeup is reintroduced, non-comedogenic or mineral-based products are often better tolerated by acne-prone skin. Specific post-treatment guidance will be provided based on the treatment you receive.
