Acne & Acne Scar Treatments
Acne/Scarring Consultation
Acne is a complex problem that can have multiple underlying causes from hormonal imbalances to bacteria on our skin.

Our goal is to craft a personalised diagnostic and treatment plan that aligns with your aspirations while promoting skin health.
Our expertise involves a wide range of proven treatments, from advanced light therapies to hormone checks, and medical-grade skincare.

Subcision with Injectables
Advanced Treatment for Acne Scars & Skin Depressions
Acne scarring isn’t just surface-deep — it often involves structural changes below the skin caused by tethered bands and collagen loss. At Esteem Life, we offer Subcision with Injectable Regeneration — a dual-action, medically led treatment that targets both the physical and biological causes of atrophic acne scars.
What is Subcision?
Subcision is a minor, minimally invasive procedure where a fine, specialised needle is inserted beneath the skin to release fibrotic strands that pull down scarred or indented areas. This allows the skin to lift and heal more smoothly while stimulating your body’s natural repair response.
Why Combine with Injectables?
Following subcision, we immediately treat the area with biostimulating or hydrating injectables that further support collagen regeneration, improve texture, and prevent re-tethering of scarred tissue.
-
Juvelook – a PDLLA + HA hybrid that hydrates and stimulates deep collagen over time
-
Lenisna – a powerful PDLLA biostimulator ideal for deeper scars or volume loss
-
Vivacy Hydromax – a hydrating booster enriched with mannitol, ideal for post-inflammatory, sensitive, or dry skin
What to Expect:
-
A single in-clinic procedure combining subcision and injectable treatment
-
Mild swelling and bruising post-treatment (typically subsides in 3–7 days)
-
Gradual improvement over 4–12 weeks as collagen remodelling takes place
-
Option for follow-up sessions based on scar severity and desired outcome
-
Potentially can be combined with Energy Based Devices or Microneedling
This approach addresses both the physical anchoring and the biological deficit beneath acne scars — offering smoother, firmer, more even skin with each treatment.

Skin Peels
Skin Peels are an effective method of exfoliating the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting new cell growth. At Esteem Life Medical Group, we offer a variety of skin peels tailored to your specific skin needs.
On the other hand, the SkinCeuticals Gel Peels in 20% and 30% formulations offer a more intensive treatment, suitable for those with resilient skin or more pronounced skin concerns. These peels are meticulously formulated to minimize the appearance of surface lines, smooth out rough skin texture, aid in clearing acne, and help fade hyperpigmentation.
Skin peels can be exceptionally beneficial when integrated into a broader skin care regimen. They prepare the skin to absorb other topical treatments more effectively and can be a precursor to other aesthetic procedures, amplifying the results of your personalized treatment plan

Hormone Check
Hormones play a pivotal role in skin health, and their imbalance can often manifest as persistent acne. Hormone Blood Tests are instrumental in identifying the underlying hormonal imbalances contributing to acne, enabling a targeted and effective treatment plan.
Some conditions associated with hormonal imbalance that often leads to acne are:
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS):
A common hormonal disorder among women of reproductive age, PCOS is characterized by elevated levels of androgens (male hormones) which can lead to severe acne, among other symptoms.
Hyperandrogenism:
This condition is characterized by excessive levels of androgens which can result in acne, hair loss, and hirsutism (excessive hair growth in areas where men typically grow hair).
Insulin Resistance:
While not a hormonal imbalance per se, insulin resistance can lead to higher insulin levels, which in turn may stimulate androgen production and potentially contribute to acne development.
Hypothyroidism or Hyperthyroidism:
Imbalances in thyroid hormone levels can also affect the skin and might contribute to acne.
