Acne Treatments
Acne can be persistent, unpredictable and deeply personal. We assess your skin, its underlying triggers and individual concerns to develop a treatment approach suited to what your skin needs, with long-term skin health, wellness medicine and longevity in mind.
UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become blocked with oil, dead skin cells and other contributing factors.
It can appear as blackheads, whiteheads, inflamed spots or deeper blemishes, with severity and triggers varying between individuals and changing over time.
COMMON CAUSES
These are the primary biological factors and environmental triggers that contribute to persistent breakouts:
Overactive sebaceous glands produce surplus oil, creating an ideal environment for pore congestion and follicular blockage.
A build-up of dead skin cells and oil can block pores, contributing to blackheads, whiteheads and inflammatory breakouts.
An overgrowth of Cutibacterium acnes within oxygen-deprived pores triggers localized tissue irritation and inflammatory responses.
Inflammatory responses within the skin can contribute to redness, swelling and the development of more noticeable acne lesions.
Hormonal fluctuations can stimulate oil production and may contribute to increased breakouts during puberty, menstrual cycles or other changes.
A weakened skin barrier allows environmental irritants to penetrate, worsening sensitivity and accelerating persistent inflammatory cycles.
CLINICAL INDICATORS
The visible and physical signs our practitioners assess when identifying active acne.
Small inflamed bumps with visible pus.
When localized pores become blocked, bacteria and trapped oil trigger inflamed reddish bumps that often develop white or yellow fluid-filled centres.
Large nodules forming beneath the skin surface.
Severe inflammation within dermal layers creates firm, tender lumps that remain buried under the surface and cause lasting tissue discomfort.
Open comedones filled with oxidised debris.
Surplus oil and trapped dead skin cells accumulate inside open pore openings, turning dark upon exposure to surrounding atmospheric oxygen.
Discoloured marks remaining after active breakouts.
Capillaries near the dermal surface remain dilated following localized breakouts, leaving lingering pink, red or purplish spots across affected areas.
Uneven dermal surface with subtle indentations.
Deep tissue inflammation impairs structural collagen production during natural healing, leaving pitted depressions or uneven surface contour changes behind.
Constant oily shine across central facial zones.
Overactive sebaceous glands continuously secrete surplus natural oils, causing visible surface shine, compromised makeup wear and rapid pore congestion throughout the day.
WHY WE'RE THE RIGHT FIT?
True resolution of acne requires looking beyond current flare-ups to address the structural conditions that allow them to recur. At WALDOR, our approach works simultaneously on two fronts: calming immediate surface inflammation and re-educating the skin at a cellular level. Through clinical diagnostic mapping, we pinpoint your specific triggers, designing progressive protocols that regulate oil, refine pore structure and prevent post-inflammatory discolouration.

YOUR TREATMENT JOURNEY
Advanced dermal imaging identifies sub-surface vascular changes, oil density and hidden tissue inflammation with complete accuracy.
Bespoke treatment protocols are crafted specifically for your skin, bypassing generic off-the-shelf menu options entirely.
Active inflammation relief pairs seamlessly with cellular re-education to prevent future breakout cycles from recurring.
Continuous tracking of dermal progress allows timely formulation adjustments, guaranteeing optimal long-term barrier resilience.
PREVENTION & AFTERCARE
Follow your practitioner’s personalised instructions, including recommended products, treatment intervals and temporary skincare adjustments.
Use broad-spectrum sun protection daily to help protect skin and minimise post-acne pigmentation.
Do not pick, pop or squeeze blemishes, as this may increase irritation, pigmentation and scarring.
Regularly clean pillowcases, phone screens and makeup brushes to minimise contact with accumulated oils and impurities.
Avoid over-exfoliating and moisturise regularly to support the skin barrier and maintain comfortable, balanced skin.

FAQ
The timeframe varies depending on the type, severity and underlying factors contributing to your acne. Some changes may become noticeable within several weeks, while more persistent concerns can require longer-term management. Your practitioner can recommend a suitable treatment plan and review progress over time.

Great skin isn't luck; it's a discipline. Discover the specialists who sculpt, refine and deliver the glowing transformations our clients rave about.
Senior Aesthetic Practitioner
Abbie believes the treatment is only half the result. She is drawn to microneedling and the precision it takes to do it beautifully, and she has a real fondness for congested skin, the kind that needs proper extraction work before anything else can be built on top of it. Clearing acne and blackheads is, in her words, the satisfying part. What follows is the aftercare journey she maps out around it, exactly what your skin needs in the days and weeks afterwards. Clients tend to leave her room understanding their own skin properly, often for the first time.
Senior Aesthetic Practitioner
Marsi is at her best with lifting and tightening technologies, HIFU above all. She has a particular eye for body transformation, designing considered programmes for clients working through stubborn areas or changes in skin firmness, including after pregnancy. She plans in phases rather than single sessions, which is why her results tend to hold.
Senior Aesthetic Practitioner
Beatrice works at the level the eye cannot see. She is drawn to regenerative aesthetics, to polynucleotides (PDRN) and exosomes, and to the AI 4D analysis that shows what skin is actually doing beneath the surface. She thinks in months rather than appointments, which tends to suit clients who want a result that holds rather than a result that arrives quickly.
Senior Aesthetic Practitioner
Hend builds the plan around the person in front of her before she settles on a single setting. She is drawn to laser resurfacing and pigment work, to the glass skin protocols, and to reading the AI 4D analysis closely enough that nothing is left to assumption. Clients talk about her lightness of touch and about how completely the plan was theirs.
Medical Director
Dr Irene leads the clinical side of WALDOR. She came to aesthetics from dentistry, which sounds like a departure and is in fact an advantage. Dental training studies the anatomy of the face as its core subject, the nerves, the muscles, the blood vessels and the bone beneath them, and then works with that anatomy every day, in millimetres, under local anaesthetic.
Aesthetic Doctor
With more than 15 years of experience in aesthetic medicine and injectables, Dr Azadeh takes a considered, holistic approach to facial aesthetics. Every treatment begins with a detailed assessment of the face as a whole evaluating proportion, balance and symmetry before deciding what, if anything, should be treated. Her approach is precise and measured, with the aim of enhancing the features rather than changing them.
