Acne is a medical skin condition, and it deserves a medical approach. Dr Kris brings more than 12 years of clinical experience to every acne consultation at Kriniko Medical Aesthetics, looking beyond the spots themselves to the hormonal, lifestyle and skin-barrier factors driving them.
Acne is a common inflammatory skin condition that develops when pores become blocked with excess oil, dead skin cells and bacteria. It affects teenagers and adults alike, most often on the face, jawline, chest, shoulders and back, and ranges from mild congestion to severe cystic breakouts.
Every skin is different, and the most effective acne outcomes usually come from combining treatments. Your personalised programme is built around your acne severity, skin sensitivity, scarring and the underlying causes of your breakouts.
Medical-grade skincare, LED light therapy and chemical peels reduce oil, clear congestion and calm inflamed breakouts.
Regenerative treatments such as polynucleotides, Sunekos and mesotherapy rebuild the skin barrier, hydrate and settle inflammation.
Microneedling and Growth Factor Therapy stimulate collagen to soften scars, fade pigmentation and support long-term skin health.
From breakout control to scar repair, Dr Kris combines proven treatments into a bespoke programme designed to restore skin clarity and confidence.
Bringing active breakouts under control comes first. These treatments reduce oil, unclog pores, calm inflammation and help prevent new spots forming.
The foundation of effective acne management. A prescribed home routine using proven actives such as salicylic acid, niacinamide, benzoyl peroxide, retinoids and azelaic acid controls oil, reduces congestion, strengthens the skin barrier and helps prevent future breakouts.

Once breakouts are settled, collagen-stimulating treatments soften scarring, refine enlarged pores and smooth uneven texture left behind by acne.
Controlled micro-injuries stimulate the skin's own collagen and elastin production, improving acne scars, refining pores and smoothing uneven texture, while enhancing the absorption of active skincare.

Knowing what happens at each stage of your acne treatment helps you feel at ease and set realistic expectations for your skin.
Dr Kris reviews your medical history and triggers, and your skin is analysed with the OBSERV 520. You'll receive personalised skincare recommendations and a bespoke treatment plan.
Treatments are carried out as a course, usually starting with breakout control before moving on to scar and texture repair. Most sessions take 30–60 minutes with little or no downtime.
Your progress is reviewed and re-imaged throughout, with your plan adjusted as your skin changes. Ongoing maintenance helps keep breakouts under control for the long term.
Acne treatment is a journey rather than a quick fix. With consistency and the right combination of treatments, most patients see steady, visible improvement over the first three to six months.
