What it is

Clearer skin, by cause not symptom.

At Dr Jinah Yoo we use a combination of methods to provide personalised treatment that responds to your skin type and to the severity and range of your acne symptoms. The programme improves the skin as a whole by suppressing sebum secretion and regenerating skin tissue through collagen production.

“My skin is oily and my pores clog constantly.”

Excess sebum and blocked pores are where breakouts begin. Regulating sebum production is the first job of the programme, and what prevents the next round of spots.

Sebum & clogged pores
“I have a big event and spots right now.”

The six-step facial is designed to reduce active red inflamed spots, blackheads and whiteheads rapidly, suitable for use before something important.

Active spots
“I squeezed them and now there are marks.”

Scars from improper extraction, and acne marks generally, are treated as part of the programme, and skilled manual extraction replaces the damage-causing kind.

Marks & extraction scars
“I want it clear, not just calmer.”

Alongside reducing spots, the programme works on texture and clarity: gentle exfoliation, collagen stimulation and prevention of permanent deep scarring.

Questions

Asked before booking.

We provide personalised acne treatments that address the underlying causes: excess sebum production and acne-causing bacteria. These include the Acne Control Programme, which combines gentle exfoliation, manual extraction and the reduction of acne bacteria and inflammation, and the Dr Jinah Yoo Deep Cleansing Programme for deep cleansing, hydration and improving the appearance of acne scars, alongside advanced techniques for rejuvenation.

Follow a consistent skincare routine. We recommend gentle, non-comedogenic products that balance oil production without irritating the skin. Regular facials help clear blocked pores and reduce enlarged pores, making acne easier to manage.

For the best results we recommend treatments every two weeks for around six sessions. Regular treatment prevents the build-up of dead skin cells and controls excess oil. Consistency is key. At your consultation our acne specialists design a customised plan for your skin.

The treatments address the root causes of acne, such as clogged pores and bacterial imbalance. They promote collagen production, help regenerate skin tissue and improve circulation. With consistent care, they reduce flare-ups, enhance texture and restore a healthy, glowing complexion.
