What does acne and acne scar treatment involve?

Acne develops when pores become blocked with oil and dead skin and bacteria cause inflammation. Clinic treatment for active acne focuses on clearing pores and calming inflammation, for example with acne extraction, acne facials, light therapy and acne clear injections for painful spots, often alongside medical skincare. Hormones, stress, diet and skincare habits can all play a part, so the doctor also looks at likely triggers.

Acne scars form when deep inflammation damages collagen. Rolling, boxcar and ice pick scars each respond differently, so scar treatment is usually a combination. Fraxel laser resurfaces texture, subcision releases tethered scars, and other techniques can target individual deep scars. Treating active acne first helps prevent new scars and makes scar treatment more effective.

Who is a good candidate?

• Persistent breakouts on the face, chest or back
• Painful, inflamed spots or cysts
• Blackheads, whiteheads and congested pores
• Rolling, boxcar or ice pick acne scars
• Dark or red marks left after acne

Some scar treatments need to wait until active acne is under control, and lasers may be postponed if you are taking isotretinoin or have a recent tan. Severe or cystic acne may also need prescription medicine, which the doctor can discuss. Treatments involving needles or lasers are usually avoided during pregnancy.

What results can you expect?

Active acne often settles over several weeks with the right combination of treatment and skincare, although flare-ups can still happen. Acne scars improve gradually: most people need a series of sessions spaced weeks apart, and the aim is a visible softening of scars rather than complete removal. Downtime ranges from none for facials to several days of redness after laser or subcision. Results vary with scar type and skin. Prices depend on the plan; see the acne scar and pore price list.

How the treatment works

1. Skin consultation

   The doctor assesses active acne and scar types and asks about skincare, medicines and triggers.

2. Treatment plan

   A plan is made to calm breakouts first and then treat scars, with sessions spaced around your schedule.

3. Treatment

   Extraction, injections, laser or subcision are carried out with numbing where needed.

4. Aftercare

   Use gentle, non-comedogenic skincare and sunscreen, and avoid picking, saunas and heavy make-up while skin heals.

Tips for international patients

• Send photos of your acne or scars on WhatsApp before your trip so the doctor can suggest a realistic plan.
• Bring a list of your current acne medicines and skincare products.
• Schedule laser or subcision early in your stay so redness can settle before you fly.
• Ask about home care products to continue your plan after you return home.
