What is the Clear Skin Assessment and Foundation Facial?
It’s the first step in the Clear Skin Program, combining an OBSERV skin analysis with a results-driven clinic treatment that now includes SQT Bio-Needling and Healite II LED Therapy. This treatment deep-cleanses, clears breakouts, rebalances oil production, and strengthens the skin barrier in preparation for longer-term corrective care.
What is the Clear Skin Program?
The Clear Skin Program is a structured treatment plan designed to clear acne and maintain long-term skin health by addressing the root causes of breakouts and skin imbalance. It is customised for each client based on OBSERV 520 skin analysis and clinical assessment, with treatment frequency tailored to suit your lifestyle.
The program consists of:
- Clear Skin Assessment and Foundation Facial – The first step in understanding and treating your acne.
- Regular in-clinic treatments – Typically three to six sessions, spaced according to your availability and skin needs.
- Progress Tracking & Adjustments – A three-month review with before and after photos to monitor your skin’s transformation.
- Advanced Skin Treatments – Once acne is under control, we introduce laser therapy, skin needling, or further corrective treatments to refine skin texture and prevent future breakouts.
- Homecare & Maintenance – A customised skincare plan to keep your skin clear and balanced long-term.
Unlike traditional acne treatments that only focus on drying out breakouts, this program also strengthens the skin barrier, reducing irritation and ensuring sustainable, long-term results.
How is this different from traditional acne treatments?
Unlike harsh medical peels or drying acne treatments, our approach:
- Clears acne while strengthening the skin barrier to prevent sensitivity.
- Uses a bespoke skin peel with probiotics, peptides, and Vitamin C for repair.
- Incorporates LED therapy to calm inflammation and reduce acne bacteria.
- Provides a personalised skin plan for lasting results.
What kind of acne can the Clear Skin Foundation Facial treat?
Our Clear Skin Foundation Facial can be customised to improve:
- Teen acne – Breakouts due to hormonal changes and excess oil.
- Hormonal acne – Adult acne triggered by hormonal fluctuations.
- Dry acne – Breakouts with underlying dehydration and skin barrier issues.
- Fungal acne – Small, itchy bumps caused by yeast overgrowth.
- Cystic acne – Deep, painful breakouts that require professional care.
- Inflammatory acne – Red, swollen blemishes that need anti-inflammatory treatments.
What are the benefits of the Clear Skin Foundation Facial?
- Clears active acne and prevents new breakouts.
- Prepares the skin for advanced acne treatments.
- Reduces post-acne pigmentation (PIH/PIE).
- Balances oil production without stripping the skin.
- Strengthens the skin barrier for long-term resilience.
- Encourages healthy skin renewal for a smooth, even complexion.
Will this treatment help with post-acne pigmentation?
Yes. The combination of a medical-grade peel, Bio-Needling, and LED therapy helps reduce red (PIE) and brown (PIH) post-acne marks while repairing and strengthening the skin barrier.
Is the Clear Skin Foundation Facial suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Our medical-grade peel clears acne while soothing inflammation and strengthening the skin barrier with probiotics, peptides, and antioxidants.
Healite II LED therapy further reduces sensitivity, redness, and irritation.
Who is this treatment suitable for?
The Clear Skin Foundation Facial is the first step of the Clear Skin Program, suitable for all ages and skin types. It is ideal for those struggling with breakouts, congestion, post-acne pigmentation (PIH/PIE), and an impaired skin barrier.
How does the OBSERV Skin Analysis work?
OBSERV 520 is an advanced skin analysis technology that allows us to see beneath the surface of your skin and identify underlying concerns that may not be visible to the naked eye.
Using different imaging modes, OBSERV 520 helps detect:
- Excess oil production and congestion.
- Bacterial activity contributing to acne.
- Inflammation and sensitivity levels in the skin.
- Dehydration and skin barrier health.
- Post-inflammatory pigmentation (PIH/PIE) and early signs of scarring.
This assessment ensures that we are treating the root cause of your acne, not just the visible symptoms, allowing us to create a customised treatment plan for your specific skin concerns.
I am using prescription acne products. Can I still have this treatment?
If you are currently taking Roaccutane (isotretinoin), this treatment is not suitable. Your skin needs time to recover before active treatments like Bio-Needling can be safely performed.
If you’re using other prescription acne products or oral medications, you may still be eligible — your clinician will assess your skin condition and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
Please call us or use live chat before booking so our team can confirm suitability and ensure your skin is ready for treatment.
I work shift work and cannot come in regularly. Can I still do this program?
Yes. We can customise your treatment schedule based on your availability. We will provide you with a structured homecare plan to keep your skin on track between visits.
How many treatments will I need?
Most clients see visible improvement after three to six Clear Skin Foundation Facial treatments, depending on acne severity.
When will I see results?
- Immediately: Skin feels cleaner, smoother, and less inflamed.
- Two to four weeks: Breakouts clear, oil balances, redness reduces.
- Three months: Significant improvement in skin clarity and reduced acne scarring.
Does this treatment work for ethnic skin?
Yes. The treatment is suitable for all ages, skin types, and skin tones. Our Dermal Clinicians tailor each treatment to suit sensitive, ethnic, and darker skin tones, using barrier-supporting actives and LED therapy to minimise irritation or pigmentation risk.
Will my acne get worse before it gets better?
Most clients see visible improvement after 3–6 sessions, depending on acne severity. You’ll notice cleaner, smoother skin 5-7 days after the first session, with reduced breakouts and balanced oil flow within 2–4 weeks. After about 3 months, expect significant clarity, texture improvement, and reduced scarring.
What kind of downtime should I expect?
You may experience mild redness, flaking, or a brief purging phase for 24–72 hours as your skin clears. Avoid heavy makeup, sweating, or heat exposure (sauna, hot showers) for 24–48 hours post-treatment.
How do I maintain my results?
Maintaining your results starts with a consistent homecare skin plan tailored to your skin’s needs. This includes:
- Using prescribed skincare products – Our dermal clinicians will create a customised homecare routine to support skin clarity and balance.
- Applying sun protection daily – Sun protection is essential to prevent post-inflammatory pigmentation (PIH) and maintain a healthy skin barrier.
You can book a review session every 3 to 6 months with your dermal clinician to adjust your homecare plan or schedule a top-up clinic treatment if needed to keep your skin on track.
What pre and post-care is required?
For best results and to ensure your skin’s safety, please follow these guidelines:
Pre-Care:
- Avoid active skincare (including retinol, exfoliating acids, or prescription acne products) for 3–5 days before treatment.
- Do not undergo waxing, laser, or tanning in the treatment area for at least one week prior.
- If you are currently on Roaccutane, please do not proceed — your skin requires time to recover before any resurfacing or needling treatments.
Post-Care:
- Avoid heat, saunas, exercise, and makeup for 24–48 hours.
- Expect mild redness, flaking, or dryness for 1–3 days — this is part of the healing process.
- Use only gentle, hydrating skincare and apply broad-spectrum SPF daily.
- Do not exfoliate or use active ingredients until advised by your clinician.
Our team will provide tailored home-care instructions and product recommendations to support healing and enhance your results.
Do you provide payment plan options?
Yes, we offer Afterpay online and in the clinic, allowing you to enjoy your treatment now and pay in installments.
Will I be asked to pay for an expensive year-long treatment plan?
No, long-lasting skin transformation takes time, but we believe in a flexible, results-driven approach. We recommend at least three treatment sessions and a prescribed homecare plan to maintain progress.
Your skin changes daily due to hormones, lifestyle, and environmental factors, so we create a realistic three-month plan, adjusting as needed. Our dermal clinicians listen to your concerns and ensure treatments align with your goals.
We work in three-month interval, allowing for flexibility—you will never be forced to sign up for a long-term plan.
