ADULT ACNE IN BALI︱NA AESTHETIC CLINIC

Updated: Nov 3

Do you have acne skin in Bali? Keep reading. I have been struggling with adult acne for a little over a year now, the toll it takes on my skin and confidence… My skintype is oily, acne-prone and to top it off, sensitive.

You’d think by your late 20s, breakouts would be a distant teenage memory, especially since I had clear skin growing up, but here I am, navigating adulthood with acne skin in Bali. Honestly, I didn’t even know adult acne treatment in Bali was a thing until it hit me.

Ultimate DiamondGlow® Facial

If I’m being real, I’ve got major trust issues with skincare promises. I’ve had my share of negative dermatologist visits, lasers, and skincare routines, but nothing really stuck. That is until I got a glow-up facial at a newly opened Bali aesthetic clinic, and let me tell you, it’s hands down one of the most aesthetically pleasing aesthetic clinics in Denpasar, Bali. Imagine walking into a Pinterest board: the lighting, the cozy vibe, the fixtures—everything just oozes relaxation.

I originally went in thinking I’d go for Dermapen Microneedling to help with my stubborn acne scars, but after my skin consultation with Dr. Ari (who’s amazing, by the way), recommended the Ultimate DiamondGlow® Facial instead.

What is a DiamondGlow® Technology Facial?

The DiamondGlow® Facial is a non-invasive treatment that simultaneously exfoliates, extracts impurities, and infuses the skin with nourishing serums tailored to your skin's needs. Unlike traditional microdermabrasion, which uses crystals or abrasive materials to remove dead skin cells, DiamondGlow® utilizes precision diamond tips for a more controlled, even, and customizable exfoliation. This treatment also goes beyond surface-level care by infusing medical-grade serums into the skin, targeting deeper layers for enhanced hydration and rejuvenation. NA CLINIC was one of the first in Bali to introduce the cutting-edge DiamondGlow® technology, offering a revolutionary approach for those with acne-prone or sensitive skin. It’s a gentler yet more comprehensive method for achieving radiant skin compared to other treatments.

The Treatment

Dr. Ari explained that most of my acne skin was actually "superficial," affecting the upper layers of the skin. After a thorough skin examination, he clearly outlined the pros and cons of both treatments, putting me at ease like never before. The acne treatment is an excellent first step to brighten and smooth my complexion, paving the way for microneedling later, especially for my problematic left cheek, should it persist.

The treatment lasted about 45 minutes (efficient and pain-free!). Towards the end, I added the Hydro Jelly Mask for an extra serum boost. The results? VERY IMPRESSED. This wasn’t my usual ‘oily gal’ glow but this radiance that had me staring at myself in the mirror (no shame). I know my acne skin beauties get it—it’s rare to catch yourself glowing and not feel attacked by your own reflection!

I loved the customized Pore Purifying and Vitamin C Pro-Infusion Serums, which penetrated deep into the skin (prescribed by Dr. Ari). And thanks to the advanced technology of DiamondGlow® for using diamond tips for a controlled exfoliation and facial extraction, making the experience a massive upgrade from the torturous manual extractions I’ve endured before.

Right after the treatment, my acne skin was a little red (totally normal), but to my surprise, it calmed down quickly. My forehead looks clearer, my complexion feels and looks better, and throughout the day, I noticed my skin felt less oily. Plus, seeing the gunk extracted from my pores was sooooo satisfying!

Final Thought

Would I go back? Absolutely. The clinic’s cleanliness and the staff’s positive attitude really stood out to me. After dealing with acne for what feels like so long, walking into this skincare clinic in Bali feeling insecure is just part of the deal. But this time, I left feeling seen and confident—something I can’t say about my past clinic experiences.

So, if you’re in Bali and looking for a skin pick-me-up, I 100% recommend NA Clinic’s Ultimate DiamondGlow® Facial, one of the best acne facials in Bali.
