Aesthē
Our Approach to Acne
A holistic, clinician-led approach designed to correct acne long-term, not mask it.
Acne isn't just surface level - we know how exhausting it feels!
You’ve tried gels and prescriptions, changed your diet, dropped sugar, dairy, gluten — even antibiotics or Accutane and your skin still flares. It’s frustrating, relentless, and emotionally draining when breakouts keep coming.
At Aesthē, we don’t believe in chasing surface symptoms. Acne is a reflection of what’s happening beneath the skin and because the skin is the largest organ of the body, internal imbalances often show up externally.
Rather than masking breakouts or cycling through harsh products, we focus on identifying why your skin is behaving the way it is, so we can create real, lasting change.
We’re known across the Clarence Valley for treating acne from the root cause not just suppressing symptoms. Our Yamba-based dermal clinic combines advanced skin treatments with nutrition-led guidance to support long-term skin health.
Every acne journey at Aesthē begins with an Advanced Skin Consultation. This is where we slow things down and take a complete view of your skin.
We assess:
-
Your skin type and current condition
-
The history of your acne and previous treatments
-
Homecare you’ve tried (and how your skin responded)
-
Lifestyle factors that may be contributing to inflammation or barrier dysfunction
This consultation allows us to understand where your skin has been and what it actually needs to recover and repair instead of applying generic solutions that only offer short-term relief.
Many clinics focus solely on what they can see on the surface. When acne is treated this way, the underlying cause is often missed, meaning breakouts persist, cycle, or worsen over time.
A thorough consultation — not guesswork
Repairing the skin barrier comes first
One of the most common patterns we see in acne-prone skin is a compromised skin barrier, often caused by over-exfoliation, harsh actives, or inappropriate products.
Our first priority is restoring barrier health. When the skin barrier is strong, we often see:
-
Reduced inflammation
-
Faster healing
-
Improved tolerance to active ingredients
-
Fewer recurring breakouts
Barrier repair is the foundation that allows the skin to respond properly to treatments and homecare, rather than constantly reacting.
Inflammation, hormones & gut health
Acne is not always driven by skincare alone. In many cases, internal inflammation, hormonal imbalances, or gut dysfunction play a significant role.
Aesthē is the only clinic in the Clarence Valley with a Dermal Clinician who also holds a Bachelor of Nutritional Science in our team.
This allows us to:
-
Explore hormonal influences
-
Identify gut-related triggers
-
Provide practical lifestyle and nutrition guidance
-
Support skin healing from the inside out
This collaborative approach helps accelerate results and supports long-term correction not temporary improvement.
Designed for long-term correction, not quick fixes
We understand that most acne clients have already tried everything from prescription medications and antibiotics to restrictive diets and endless supplements.
Because acne is rarely resolved overnight, we focus on structured, long-term treatment plans that support the skin through every phase of healing.

Your next step
We always recommend starting with an Advanced Skin Consultation, so we can ensure your treatment plan is truly tailored to your skin.
After your consultation, you may:
-
Begin your personalised treatment plan
-
Or choose to proceed with a recommended skin treatment on the same day (additional facial fee applies, with extended consultation time allocated)
This ensures every treatment we perform is appropriate, effective, and aligned with your skin’s needs.
