Acne & Acne Scar Treatment

Clearer Skin Starts With the Right Approach

Acne is one of the most common skin concerns and can affect people of all ages. While occasional breakouts are normal, persistent acne can lead to inflammation, pigmentation, uneven texture and acne scars.

We take a personalised approach to acne and acne scar treatment. Your skin is assessed to understand the type and severity of acne or scarring before recommending a suitable treatment plan.

What Causes Acne?

Acne can develop when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Several factors may contribute to breakouts, including:

  • Excess oil production
  • Clogged pores
  • Hormonal changes
  • Bacterial activity and inflammation
  • Stress and lifestyle factors
  • Certain skincare or cosmetic products

Acne vs. Acne Scars

Acne refers to active breakouts such as pimples, blackheads, whiteheads and inflamed lesions.

Acne scars are changes in the skin that can remain after acne has healed. They may appear as depressions, uneven texture or other long-lasting changes to the skin.

Dark spots left after acne are often post-inflammatory pigmentation, which is different from a true acne scar and may require a different treatment approach.

How We Help

Treatment is selected according to your individual skin condition and goals.

Active Acne Management

We focus on controlling breakouts, reducing inflammation and helping prevent new acne from developing.

Acne Mark & Pigmentation Treatment

Suitable treatments may help improve the appearance of post-acne pigmentation and uneven skin tone.

Acne Scar Treatment

Depending on the type and depth of scarring, different procedures may be considered to improve skin texture and reduce the visible appearance of scars.

Skin Texture & Rejuvenation

Treatment plans may incorporate skin-rejuvenation approaches to support smoother, more even-looking skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can acne scars be completely removed?

The outcome depends on the type, depth and severity of the scars. Treatment can help reduce their appearance and improve overall skin texture, but complete removal cannot always be guaranteed.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions varies depending on your skin condition, scar type and the treatment selected. Your clinician can recommend an appropriate treatment schedule after assessment.

Can acne and acne scars be treated together?

Yes. However, active acne may need to be controlled before certain scar-focused procedures are performed. Your treatment plan will depend on your individual skin condition.

When will I see results?

Results vary from person to person and depend on the treatment, skin condition and response to treatment. Acne management and scar improvement generally require consistent care and follow-up.
