Suffering from breakouts, congestion, inflammation, post-acne marks, scarring, large pores or uneven skin texture? The good news? You don’t have to rely on an overcomplicated 12-step skincare routine and wait for results.
At Aventis in George Town, we offer fast, effective options for clearer skin with professional acne treatments that target active breakouts, congestion, large pores and acne scars.
To get started with acne treatments, our clinic in Grand Cayman can invite you in for a free consultation with our dermatologists and licensed aestheticians to assess what your skin actually needs, because while active acne and acne scarring are related, they’re not the same problem, and treating the conditions will vary.
Active acne appears as blackheads, whiteheads, inflamed spots, pustules, and deeper under-the-skin blemishes. Treatment at Aventis focuses on reducing skin congestion, bacteria and inflammation to support and create a healthier skin barrier.
Forever Clear BBL is a high-tech, non-invasive 3-step light therapy option for skin that’s inflamed, congested or uneven in skin tone. It uses controlled pulses of light energy that target specific structures within the skin to destroy acne-causing bacteria, treat active acne and pustular acne and prevent future breakouts with minimal downtime.
The average BBL treatment takes 15 to 30 minutes, involves minimal pain and allows you to return back to your daily activities practically immediately. We recommend an initial series of 3-6 treatments spaced around 1-2 weeks apart for optimal results. See before and afters.
Medical-grade chemical peels are not like typical facial peels; they work much more deeply. They treat acne (and scarring) by using high concentrations of Salicylic Acid (BHA), Glycolic Acid (AHA), or Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA), which penetrate deep into the pores, dissolve dead skin cells, reduce inflammation, and fade dark spots.
At Aventis, we offer two peels specifically targeting acne, like TCA peels and The Perfect Peel:
As you should expect several days of controlled peeling, they’re not the best option to book immediately before a major event, so expect a short social pause before benefiting from the post-peel freshness.
In some cases, the easiest and most appropriate treatment can be carried out at home with medical-grade skincare, which uses advanced products selected to control your skin condition rather than fads and what’s trending online. Typically, we’ll recommend professional skincare alongside in-clinic acne treatments to support long-term results.
At Aventis, we carry dermatologist-approved Neostrata formulations, which address acne, uneven skin tone, texture, and provide sun protection.
The skincare routine we put together for you may include targeted cleansers, exfoliating acids, moisturisers and serums as well as sun protection. The aim is not to use the strongest possible product. It is to create a routine your skin can tolerate consistently.
Once active breakouts are controlled, the focus and treatment can shift to post-acne pigmentation and acne scars, whether deep ice-pick, rolling, or boxcar scars, to treat red, pink or brown marks and target shallow dips and deeper indentations or uneven areas caused by changes in collagen.
Microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) can produce highly effective results for atrophic acne scars and uneven skin texture by creating controlled micro-injuries into the skin, while at the same time using your own concentrated growth factors to stimulate new collagen and elastin to plump indented scars.
A treatment course of 3 to 4 sessions, spaced around 4-6 weeks apart, is recommended. Collagen-building gradually over 3 to 9 months, making the treatment less of an overnight transformation and more like a steady skin upgrade. The treatment is generally safe for all skin types, but is not recommended for patients with cystic acne.
Polynucleotide treatments are regenerative injectables that use DNA-derived molecules to stimulate collagen, reduce inflammation, and regenerate skin on a cellular level. Rather than just add volume, they also aim to improve skin quality, making them highly effective for repairing acne scarring and skin texture, as opposed to stopping active breakouts.
The sessions take around 30-45 minutes with minimal downtime, where a biological repair process activates to fill in and smooth out sunken or depressed scars. At Aventis, we advise the treatment being carried out over 2-3 sessions, spaced over 3-4 weeks apart, with results becoming visible over 6-12 weeks.
While polynucleotides can improve skin quality, they might not be the ultimate cure for severe, deep rolling or ice-pick acne scars, and our dermatologists might recommend combining them with resurfacing treatments like fractional lasers or microneedling to remodel scars as effectively as possible.
Laser treatments for acne scars work by using concentrated light and controlled energy to encourage skin renewal and collagen production (non-ablative) and remove the damaged top layer of skin (ablative). Sessions take 20-45 minutes, with a course of 3-5 sessions being recommended to treat atrophic depressed scars, like rolling or boxcar scars.
But laser is not one-size-fits-all – the correct device, intensity and treatment schedule matter. At Aventis, we offer several laser and light-based options, with treatments being tailored to a patient’s skin type, concern and goals:
It depends. A light or BBL treatment may offer a relatively quick route to clearer-looking skin with little downtime, whereas a peel creates more visible surface renewal but requires several days of flaking. Collagen-stimulating treatments such as microneedling and polynucleotides can take longer because the skin needs time to repair and remodel.
Plus, the fastest treatment is not automatically the best.
The best plan is the one designed around:
In most cases, the best approach typically combines treatments, for example, controlling active acne with skincare, peels or BBL before moving on to microneedling, regenerative injectables or laser for residual scars.
Acne scars can often be significantly softened, but it is important to be realistic.
No ethical facial aesthetics clinic should promise completely poreless, filtered-looking skin. The aim is to make scars shallower, improve texture, reduce discolouration and help the skin reflect light more evenly.
The degree of improvement depends on the type and depth of the scars, the treatment selected and how consistently you follow the recommended plan.
Newer, milder scars may respond more quickly. Deeper or more established scars usually need a combination of treatments and several months of collagen remodelling.
A few habits can quietly sabotage your progress:
At Aventis, your consultation allows the team to assess whether you are dealing with active acne, pigmentation, textural scarring—or a combination of all three. From there, they can build a personalised treatment plan using options such as BBL, medical-grade chemical peels, microneedling with PRP, polynucleotides, laser treatments and professional skincare.
