Adult Acne Isn’t Just for Teenagers

How to Treat It Effectively

Acne is often associated with adolescence, but for many adults — particularly women in their 30s, 40s and even 50s — breakouts can persist or appear for the first time. Adult acne can be frustrating, emotionally distressing, and difficult to treat with conventional methods. But with the right clinical approach, clear skin is absolutely achievable.

What Causes Adult Acne?

Unlike teenage acne, adult breakouts are often driven by a complex combination of:

- Hormonal fluctuations (including during perimenopause and menopause)
- Stress and inflammation
- Poor skin barrier function
- Underlying gut or metabolic imbalances
- Genetics or lifestyle triggers

The result? Painful cysts, blackheads, redness, or recurring spots that don’t respond to typical over-the-counter products.

A New Approach to Acne Treatment

At Rejuvenate Clinic, we go beyond surface-level solutions. Our approach to adult acne is medically-led, personalised, and rooted in understanding your skin’s individual behaviour.

We begin with a consultation to assess your skin health, triggers, and goals. From there, we design a plan that may include:

Clinical skincare using AlumierMD and Lilóra – to rebalance, calm and restore the skin barrier
Plasma shower – a powerful anti-inflammatory and antibacterial treatment that helps reduce active breakouts
Microneedling with Dermapen 4 – to support skin healing, reduce scarring, and promote clearer texture
WOW fusion – with optional Botulinum toxin (Botox®) for oily or congested skin
LED light therapy – to reduce inflammation and bacteria
Hormonal assessment – where appropriate, to check for underlying imbalances
Acne genetic testing – to understand your predisposition and inflammatory response
Bespoke prescription skincare – tailored to your exact skin type and needs

Why Adult Acne Needs a Personalised Plan

There’s no single cure for acne, because the root cause varies from person to person. By identifying your unique triggers — hormonal, genetic, environmental or otherwise — we can help you clear and control your skin with confidence.
