Welcome to Ashbrooke Cosmetic Clinic
Welcome to Ashbrooke Cosmetic Clinic
Acne is a common skin condition resulting from changes in the skin’s oil production, pores, bacterial growth, inflammation, and often hormonal fluctuations. It typically appears in areas with many oil glands, like the face, back, chest, and shoulders. There are different types of acne, from mild to severe, and what works for one person may not suit another. This is because acne is influenced by internal, external, and lifestyle factors.
Acne is when your pores (hair follicles plus oil glands) become blocked with a mixture of skin oil and dead skin cells. That can create whiteheads, blackheads, pimples (red, tender bumps), and more severe forms like cysts or nodules. Hormones can stimulate oil glands to produce excess oil, and bacteria that live on the skin can multiply in blocked pores. The immune system responds by causing inflammation, which typically involves redness, swelling, and sometimes pain. Acne is more than occasional spots; for many people it can persist for years, sometimes into adulthood.
There are internal and external factors, and often a mix of both. Key causes include:
Internal Causes:
Hormonal changes (puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, certain endocrine disorders) increase oil (sebum) production.
A family history of acne increases the risk having more acne, how your body regulates oil, how your skin renews itself, and how your immune/inflammatory system responds can all be inherited traits.
Stress can worsen acne via hormonal pathways and inflammatory responses.
External Causes:
Comedogenic or occlusive products can block pores. Harsh cleansers / over-washing can damage the skin barrier leading to irritation
High-glycemic foods (refined sugars, white bread etc.), dairy (milk especially), and potentially other dietary factors may worsen acne for some people.
Heat, humidity, sweating; friction (e.g. from helmets, collars); pollution; sun exposure can influence acne.
Certain medications can trigger or exacerbate acne.
It’s important for people to know acne is not always about poor hygiene. While good skincare helps, blame or shame about cleanliness is both inaccurate and unhelpful.

Your experience begins with a detailed consultation with our qualified doctors. During this appointment, we will discuss your skincare needs and any specific concerns. They will assess your skin type and sensitivity to determine the best treatment option for you. Realistic expectations are also provided for each treatment.
The treatment process, while they vary, mostly follow a similar pattern. The typical process starts with cleansing and exfoliation to prepare the skin.
Then depending on the chosen procedure, specific treatment steps are then followed to ensure a safe, effective and comfortable experience for the patient.
Post-treatment, you can typically resume your daily activities. Following any aftercare guidelines, such as using sunscreen and avoiding certain skincare products for a few days, may be advised by our team.
Most people with mild to severe acne are suitable for professional treatment at Ashbrooke. You may be suitable for treatment if you have the following:
You have mild to severe acne that has not responded well to home skincare.

If you have any more questions about Vaser® Liposuction in Sydney or any of our services, please don’t hesitate to contact us today.
VASER® technology provides an alternative to conventional liposuction, designed with advanced techniques to target specific areas of fat removal. This approach enables both larger areas and more delicate regions to be treated with accuracy.
By employing ultrasound technology, it addresses specific fat deposits. This method is designed to liquefy fat cells, potentially resulting in reduced discomfort and recovery time compared to traditional liposuction.
Following VASER liposuction, patients may experience manageable pain. Some swelling, bruising, and occasional numbness in the treated area can be expected, with these effects typically subsiding within 5-6 weeks. Most patients are able to return to their normal activities or work within a few days, but individual recovery times may vary.
VASER liposuction may not be suitable for everyone, and it’s important to undergo a thorough consultation with a qualified cosmetic physician to determine if the procedure is appropriate for your individual needs and goals. Candidates for the procedure should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the results.
The cost of VASER liposuction can vary depending on the specific areas being treated, the amount of fat being removed, the cosmetic physician fees and the hospital fees. In Australia, the average cost of VASER liposuction starts from $4,000 and can go up to $10,000 per case.
We recommend that you book an initial consultation with us where we’ll be able to give you an accurate cost based on your treatment plan.
VASER liposuction is not a weight loss procedure, and it’s important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine to achieve long-term weight loss goals. The procedure is best suited for removing small to moderate amounts of localised fat deposits.
VASER liposuction may provide enhanced skin tightening effects compared to traditional liposuction, as the ultrasound energy applied during the procedure stimulates collagen production. The extent of skin tightening, however, can depend on individual factors such as skin elasticity and the volume of fat removed.
The length of a Vaser Liposuction procedure varies depending on the size and number of areas being treated. Typically, the procedure can be completed in a few hours or less.
The amount of downtime required after a Vaser Liposuction procedure varies depending on the size and number of areas treated. Generally, patients can expect to take a few days to a week off from work or other activities to rest and recover.
Most patients will begin to see the results of their Vaser Liposuction procedure within a few weeks after the procedure, with full results becoming apparent within a few months.
No, Vaser Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. It is designed to remove excess fat from specific areas of the body that are resistant to diet and exercise. It is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise after the procedure to maintain the results.
