How to treat acne
Say Goodbye to Acne and acne scars with Dr Liesel Holler
Acne is a common skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. Four main factors cause acne, leading to the formation of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads:
- Excess oil (sebum) production
- Hair follicles clogged by oil and dead skin cells
- Bacteria
- Inflammation
Acne can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, hormonal changes, stress, and certain medications. While it’s not a serious medical condition, acne can be unsightly and make you feel self-conscious.
If you’re struggling with acne, Dr Liesel Holler can help.
Treatments to Help Acne
At our clinic, we offer a range of treatments to address acne. These include:
Topical Treatments: Topical treatments, such as retinoids and benzoyl peroxide, can help clear up acne by reducing inflammation and killing bacteria on the skin. They are often the first line of treatment for mild to moderate acne.
Chemical Peels: Chemical peels use a solution to exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, revealing smoother, clearer skin underneath. They can be effective for treating mild to moderate acne and improving overall skin texture.
LED Therapy: LED therapy can be used to treat acne by reducing inflammation and reducing bacteria in the skin. It can also help improve overall skin texture.

Treatments to Help Acne Scarring
At our clinic, we offer a range of treatments to address facial acne scarring. These include:
Biodermogenesi: Biodermogenesi is a non-invasive treatment for skin regeneration and relies on a powerful and unique combination of electromagnetic energy and vacuum technology to increase oxygenation, rebuild Type III collagen, recover from toxins and completely restructure damaged cells within the skin to give visible results. After the treatment with Biodermogenesi®, the scars tend to level out with the surrounding healthy skin, to recover elasticity and hydration, and to attenuate the difference in pigmentation.
Medical Microneedling: Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that involves using a device with tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These injuries stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which can help reduce the appearance of acne scars and improve skin texture.
