What are the treatments for acne and breakouts in Nice?

Spots that keep coming back, blackheads, skin that shines by midday, red marks that linger: adult acne is frustrating because it plays out on several fronts at once — bacteria, sebum, inflammation, scars. Our protocol tackles it precisely on all four fronts.

The Plasma Shower neutralises the bacteria responsible for blemishes, with no pain and no downtime. Sebum-regulating peels unclog pores and refine skin texture. Blue and red LED purifies the skin and calms inflammation. The AquaFacial cleanses deeply without being harsh. And when scars have set in, Infini fractional radiofrequency takes over — see our scar protocol.

A clear commitment: we work alongside the dermatologist, never in their place — severe or hormonal acne calls first for medical advice, and we tell you so. The condition of your skin, the plan of action and the schedule: it all happens at the free assessment (prices, see also the Acne package).

The aesthetic assessment comes first

The assessment establishes the stage of your acne — blackheads and enlarged pores, inflammatory spots, or severe acne that is first a matter for the dermatologist — and takes stock of what your skin is already going through: harsh scrubs, comedogenic products, ongoing treatments.

How we work

  1. Day 1 — skin assessment + first deep cleanse

    After the examination, the first session combines hydradermabrasion (to decongest the pores) and anti-inflammatory LED: we start from clean skin so that we can judge how it evolves.

  2. Weeks 1 to 10 — the alternation that gets results: peel then needling, one session every 1 to 3 weeks

    We alternate dedicated anti-acne peels (salicylic and lactic acids — they unclog and purify) with needling using anti-acne serums (tea tree, aloe vera, peptides — they treat inflammation in depth). Around 6 appointments over 2 and a half months, each one finished with LED.

  3. At every session — blue and red LED

    Blue light attacks the acne bacteria, red light calms inflammation: it is the common thread running through the whole protocol.

  4. On very inflamed skin — the Plasma Shower

    When the assessment has shown that inflammation dominates, passes of cold plasma purify the skin without any product at all — invaluable for skin that can no longer tolerate anything.

  5. Month 3 — check-up, and work on scars can begin

    Acne calmed down on the check-up photos? Only now do we treat any remaining marks — see our scar protocol. Treating both at the same time does not work.

Who it's for, and when to avoid it

Mention any ongoing dermatological treatment at the assessment; no peel during a major inflammatory flare-up; we never squeeze anything in the treatment room — and ideally, neither should you at home.

This is an aesthetic comfort treatment: it does not constitute a medical procedure, a diagnosis or a therapeutic treatment.

Possibilities and limits

What we do not promise.

Severe, cystic or hormonal acne is treated medically first: we support you, but we replace neither the dermatologist nor the underlying treatment. While you are on isotretinoin, most of our treatments wait until the course has ended.

Frequently asked questions

Does your protocol replace dermatological treatment?

No, and we are firm about this: severe, cystic or hormonal acne is first and foremost a matter for the dermatologist. Our treatments purify, regulate and smooth as a complement — the two approaches reinforce each other.

How long does it take for the skin to improve?

The first sessions reduce shine and new breakouts; a clear improvement is judged after 6–12 weeks of regular treatment. Acne is a marathon, not a sprint — the protocol is designed to go the distance.

Can I have treatments while on medical acne treatment?

Some yes, others no (peels, for example, are incompatible with certain drying treatments). Tell us about your treatments at the assessment: the protocol is adapted accordingly.

Do red marks fade too?

Yes — recent inflammatory marks respond well to LED and gentle peels. Established pitted scars fall under the scar protocol, with Infini.
