FINDING THE ROOT CAUSE
Our Approach To Acne
At The Facial Bar, we know that acne is more than just a skin condition. It can be painful, frustrating, and deeply affect your confidence. Whether you’re experiencing breakouts for the first time, battling ongoing hormonal acne, or dealing with post-acne scarring, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
Unlike quick fixes that treat only the surface, we focus on treating the root cause of your acne. That means taking a holistic, skin-first approach that blends professional in-clinic treatments with curated skincare routines, lifestyle guidance, and expert support from our team of dermal therapists.

Looking beyond surface level symptoms
You’ve tried everything - and nothing has worked.
From creams, serums and prescription gels… to medications like Accutane or antibiotics… even the expensive trips to dermatologists.
You’ve cut out dairy, skipped gluten, invested in gut health supplements and yet your skin is still breaking out.
The constant cycle of painful pimples, cystic flare-ups, and new breakouts every morning is exhausting. It chips away at your confidence and leaves you wishing you could just have one makeup-free day where you actually feel good in your skin.
And that’s exactly why we’re here - and why we’re so confident we can help.

We know how it feels
Most acne treatments only focus on the symptom (what you see on the surface) rather than the cause (what’s happening underneath).
That’s why so many people go through multiple rounds of antibiotics, the pill, or Accutane, yet their acne keeps coming back. These methods can work short-term, but the relapse rate is high because they never address the root cause.
At The Facial Bar, we see acne for what it really is: systemic.
That means it’s more than skin-deep - it’s influenced by your skin’s function, oil flow, cell turnover, bacteria, hormones, lifestyle, and more.

Why other approaches haven't worked
Why other approaches haven't worked
There are two main triggers we see most often:
Together, these create the perfect environment for acne bacteria to thrive. Over time, this bacteria can even form protective biofilms, which makes it harder to treat with traditional medications and creams.
- Retention keratosis - your skin isn’t exfoliating properly, so dead cells build up, clogging the pores
- Thick, sticky sebum (oil) - which blocks the pore from inside.

Along the way, we’ll also guide you with personalised homecare, skincare, diet, and supplement suggestions to speed up results and support long-term skin health.
Here’s how we do things differently:
1. Repair the foundations & uncover the root cause
Your first visit includes a thorough consultation and skin assessment. From there, we create a treatment plan that suits your skin, lifestyle, and budget. No cookie-cutter solutions.
2. Treat breakouts & reduce congestion
We focus on clearing blocked pores, balancing oil flow, breaking down stubborn biofilms, and oxygenating the skin to reduce bacteria build-up.
3. Heal scarring & restore healthy, glowing skin
Once your breakouts are under control, we shift focus to repairing texture, fading scars, and rebuilding skin confidence.
