June is Acne Awareness Month, an opportunity to raise awareness around one of the most common skin concerns we see within clinic every single day.
At Aeternum Aesthetics in Ashby de la Zouch, we understand that acne is about far more than just the skin itself. Whether you are struggling with active breakouts, hormonal acne, persistent congestion, redness or acne scarring, acne can have a significant impact on confidence, self-esteem and overall wellbeing.
The good news is that acne is highly treatable with the right combination of professional guidance, medical-grade skincare and advanced in-clinic treatments.
Because every skin is different, we always take a personalised approach to treatment planning, combining treatments where appropriate to improve both active acne and the longer-term effects acne can leave behind.
Here are our top 5 acne treatments available at Aeternum Aesthetics this Acne Awareness Month.
1. Prescription & Medical-Grade Skincare
One of the most important parts of any successful acne journey is appropriate at-home skincare.
Many patients unknowingly worsen acne through over-exfoliation, incorrect products or inconsistent routines. Professional skin assessment allows us to identify what your skin actually needs and create a tailored treatment plan.
At Aeternum Aesthetics, we offer advanced medical-grade skincare including:
- Prescription-strength products
- Active ingredients targeting congestion and inflammation
- Skin barrier repair support
- Pigment and scarring management
- Long-term acne prevention
We frequently use products from the Obagi Medical range, including systems specifically designed for acne-prone skin and post-inflammatory pigmentation. Obagi’s clinically active formulations are designed to support clearer skin whilst improving overall skin health and texture.
Best for:
- Active acne
- Oily skin
- Hormonal breakouts
- Long-term acne management
- Post-inflammatory pigmentation
2. Obagi Chemical Peels
Chemical peels can be incredibly effective for acne when performed correctly and tailored to the individual skin.
At Aeternum Aesthetics, we offer advanced professional peels including the Obagi Medical Blue Peel Radiance and other medical-grade exfoliating treatments designed to:
- Unblock pores
- Reduce congestion
- Improve skin cell turnover
- Calm inflammation
- Improve pigmentation left behind by acne
The Obagi Blue Peel Radiance contains a blend of salicylic acid, glycolic acid and lactic acid to deeply exfoliate and refine the skin whilst supporting clearer pores and smoother skin texture.
Regular professional peels can also help reduce the frequency and severity of future breakouts.
Best for:
- Congested skin
- Blackheads and blocked pores
- Mild to moderate acne
- Acne pigmentation
- Dull or uneven skin texture
3. 3JUVE IPL Skin Rejuvenation
Many acne sufferers are left with persistent redness, inflammation and pigmentation even once active breakouts have settled.
Our advanced 3JUVE IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments use targeted light technology to help calm inflammation, reduce redness and improve overall skin clarity.
IPL works by delivering controlled pulses of light into the skin, helping to:
- Reduce post-acne redness
- Improve pigmentation
- Support skin rejuvenation
- Calm inflammation
- Improve overall skin tone
It is particularly effective for patients experiencing lingering redness or discolouration following acne flare-ups.
Best for:
- Acne redness

- Uneven skin tone
- Skin rejuvenation following acne
4. 3JUVE Fractional Laser For Acne Scarring
For patients left with textural acne scarring, fractional laser technology can deliver transformative improvements over time.
Our 3JUVE Fractional Laser works by creating controlled micro-injuries within the skin to stimulate collagen production and encourage skin remodelling.
This helps improve:
- Acne scarring
- Uneven texture
- Enlarged pores
- Skin laxity
- Overall skin smoothness
For enhanced regenerative results, fractional laser can also be combined with advanced exosome therapy to further support healing, skin regeneration and collagen stimulation.
Fractional laser resurfacing is one of the most advanced options available for acne scar revision and works particularly well as part of a longer-term treatment plan.
Best for:
- Acne scarring
- Uneven skin texture
- Enlarged pores
- Collagen stimulation
- Skin resurfacing
5. Microneedling For Acne & Acne Scarring
Microneedling remains one of our most popular regenerative skin treatments for both acne management and acne scarring.
The treatment works by creating controlled micro-channels within the skin which stimulate natural collagen production and skin renewal.
Microneedling can help:
- Improve acne scarring
- Refine skin texture
- Reduce enlarged pores
- Support skin healing
- Improve overall skin quality
For enhanced regenerative results, microneedling can also be combined with advanced exosome therapy to further support skin healing, collagen stimulation and skin rejuvenation.
Best for:
- Acne scarring
- Textural irregularities
- Enlarged pores
- Collagen stimulation
- Long-term skin regeneration
Why Combination Treatments Often Work Best
Acne is rarely caused by one single factor alone.
Hormones, inflammation, bacteria, oil production, skin barrier dysfunction and genetics can all contribute, which is why combination treatment plans are often the most effective approach.
At Aeternum Aesthetics, we frequently combine:
- Medical-grade skincare
- Professional peels
- IPL
- Microneedling
- Fractional laser resurfacing
- Exosomes
- LED phototherapy
To create bespoke treatment plans tailored specifically to each patient’s skin concerns and goals.
