Breakouts: find the pattern before attacking the skin
Adult acne rarely responds to what teenage acne responds to, and the marks it leaves are not all the same: some are pigment and will fade, some are scarring and will not. Measuring that difference first saves months of the wrong treatment.

Why adult acne is a different problem
Teenage acne is usually an excess-sebum problem concentrated in the T-zone. Adult acne tends to appear along the jawline and chin, is more inflammatory, deeper, less numerous, and often has a hormonal or barrier component. Treating it with the aggressive arsenal used at fifteen usually makes it worse.
There is also a very common pattern here: skin that becomes irritated and dried out by anti-acne products that are too strong, and responds with more sebum and more inflammation. It becomes a cycle in which every attempt to fix it feeds the problem.
Then there are the marks. A dark patch left after a breakout is hyperpigmentation — it is pigment, it is flat to the touch, and with time and the right routine it fades. An atrophic scar is lost tissue, it has depth, and it does not resolve on its own. Two different problems with two different answers, and they are confused constantly.
What the scanner measures
The UV image is especially useful here: the activity of acne-associated bacteria has a characteristic fluorescence that ordinary light does not show.
Congestion below the surface
Breakouts that are forming and have not surfaced yet. Knowing where congestion is building allows action before it appears.
Sebum distribution
Whether the pattern is classic seborrhoeic or the jawline-and-chin picture of adult acne — two situations with different approaches.
Barrier condition
How much damage the current anti-acne routine has done. In many cases the first recommendation is to remove things, not add them.
Mark versus scar
The most practical reading of the session: separating hyperpigmentation, which fades, from structural damage, which needs a different strategy.
What you leave with
Your pattern, identified
Where it concentrates, how deep it sits, and what in your current routine may be contributing.
Marks separated from scars
So you neither pay for scar treatments for something that would have faded, nor wait for something to fade that never will.
An honest referral where needed
Moderate to severe acne is a medical matter. If that is the picture, we will say so and recommend a dermatologist.
A written 12-month plan
What to remove, what to introduce and in what order — the part that is almost never explained properly.
Price
The skin analysis is €40 and takes 20–25 minutes. The €40 comes off your first treatment or skincare purchase in full. On skin with active breakouts, the first step is often to calm and repair rather than to treat — and that is covered by the same redemption.
Frequently asked questions about acne
Can you cure my acne?
We do not make promises like that, and moderate to severe acne needs medical assessment. What we do is measure your pattern precisely and give you a written care plan — and tell you frankly when what you need is a dermatologist rather than a treatment room.
I am breaking out right now. Should I come or wait?
Come. An active breakout gives the scan more information, not less, and the analysis is purely optical: we do not touch or treat the skin that day.
Will the marks I already have fade?
It depends on whether they are pigment or scarring, and that is exactly what we separate. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation usually fades with consistency and sun protection; atrophic scarring needs a different approach.
Are facials useful if I have acne?
Sometimes yes and sometimes they are contraindicated, depending on the lesion type and your barrier condition. That is precisely the kind of decision we would rather make with the image in front of us than by eye.
