Acne affects people of all ages, and it can have a major impact on confidence and self-esteem. There are many severities and presentations of acne, and effective treatment begins with proper assessment and diagnosis.

At Skindepth Dermatology, located in St Kilda East, we take a comprehensive and personalised approach to acne. We start by determining whether the acne is comedonal, pustular, cystic, or a combination. We also assess any underlying medical conditions, review diet, and consider your current skincare regime. Only once we understand the full picture can we develop a treatment plan that will effectively target and manage acne.

Chemical Peels and LED Therapy

This treatment clears away dead skin cells and excess oil that can clog pores and lead to breakouts. At Skindepth, we offer a range of customised chemical peels, tailored to each individual’s skin type and acne severity. Regular peels combined with LED light therapy encourage skin cell renewal and reduce inflammation, helping to maintain clearer skin over time.

Extractions

Extractions are ideal for those with deep, underlying congestion. When left untreated, congestion can grow and become more inflamed or infected. Our trained Dermal Clinicians perform extractions in a sterile, safe way to reduce the risk of scarring and the spread of bacteria.

Please never pick your skin at home—come in and let the professionals handle it properly at our Skin Clinic in Melbourne.

Kleresca

Kleresca is an innovative, light-based therapy used to treat pustular, cystic, and inflammatory acne. This non-invasive, painless treatment is perfect for patients wanting to avoid prescription medication.

A full Kleresca course includes 12 sessions and works by killing acne-causing bacteria while stimulating skin repair at a cellular level. It also helps reduce acne scarring, making it a popular choice at Skindepth Dermatology.

Prescription Medication

For some, prescription medication may be the most effective option, particularly for moderate to severe or treatment-resistant acne. At Skindepth Dermatology, Dr Alice Rudd oversees all prescription treatments with regular monitoring to ensure safety and efficacy.

Medications are tailored to the individual and require a GP referral. Our expert team ensures every treatment aligns with your medical history and skincare goals.

Skincare

We believe great skin starts with your daily skincare routine. At Skindepth, we place high importance on creating a tailored skincare plan as part of our acne treatment approach.

During a consultation, our experienced Dermal Clinicians will assess your skin and recommend products that complement any clinical treatments. Whether you're using peels, LED therapy, or medication, the right home skincare helps maintain results and prevent future breakouts.
