Acne occurs when hair follicles and sebaceous glands become blocked with excess oil, dead skin, and bacteria. The main types include:
Comedonal acne – blackheads and whiteheads
Inflammatory acne – red, painful bumps
Nodular/cystic acne – deep, severe lesions
Hormonal acne – linked to androgen fluctuations
Other contributing factors:
Propionibacterium acnes / Cutibacterium acnes overgrowth
Genetics and stress
Excess sebum production
Diet and lifestyle influences
Post-inflammatory effects may include:
Acne scars: icepick, rolling, boxcar
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
Benzoyl Peroxide: Kills acne-causing bacteria; reduces inflammation.
Salicylic Acid: Helps unclog pores and exfoliate dead skin.
Retinoids: Vitamin A derivatives (e.g., tretinoin, adapalene) promote cell turnover.
Antibiotic Creams: Reduce local bacterial load and inflammation.
Tip: Start with mild formulations to minimize irritation.
Antibiotics: Target systemic inflammation (e.g., doxycycline, minocycline).
Hormonal Therapy: Birth control pills or anti-androgens (like spironolactone) regulate oil production.
Isotretinoin: Highly effective for severe acne; requires monitoring due to potential side effects.
Chemical Peels: Light acids exfoliate the skin, unclog pores, and reduce hyperpigmentation.
Laser & Light Therapy: Reduces inflammation, kills bacteria, and minimizes scarring.
Microneedling: Stimulates collagen to improve acne scars.
Extraction & Drainage: For large cysts or nodules under clinician supervision.
Gentle cleansing twice daily.
Non-comedogenic moisturizers and sunscreens.
Balanced diet with low glycemic index foods.
Stress management techniques (exercise, mindfulness).
Chemical peels with salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or TCA remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and reduce acne. Light peels treat active acne, while medium peels target scars and uneven texture.
Our laser therapies include Blue Light, Pico Laser, Q-Switched, and Fractional CO2 laser to:
Kill acne-causing bacteria
Reduce skin discoloration
Reduce oil gland activity for oily skin
Calm inflammation and redness
Stimulate collagen for scar repair
These treatments work well for inflamed, oily, hormonal, and resistant acne types.
Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a mild treatment that uses blue light to zap acne bacteria and red light to calm inflammation. It works well for light to medium acne and is safe for everyone, even those with sensitive skin in Malaysia.
Microneedling creates tiny injuries to boost collagen production, making it great for treating acne scars. RF microneedling adds radiofrequency energy to tighten the skin and improve deeper scars.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses your own blood plasma to promote healing and skin regeneration. Combined with microneedling, it smoothens acne scars and improves skin texture naturally.
We offer prescription-strength topical treatments like retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, and salicylic acid to reduce inflammation and unclog pores.
For moderate to severe acne, oral medications such as antibiotics, hormonal therapy, or isotretinoin may be prescribed under careful dermatological supervision.
Targeted procedures for acne scarring include:
CO2 Fractional Laser
TCA CROSS for deep icepick scars
Subcision for rolling scars
These treatments aim to smooth the skin surface and improve scar appearance over time.
Back acne, occurs when pores on the back are clogged by oil, dead skin, and bacteria, leading to pimples, blackheads, or cysts. Our treatment options include:
Chemical Peels: Removes dead skin cells and unclogs pores.
Laser Therapy: Targets acne-causing bacteria and reduces inflammation.
Topical Medications: Helps reduce oil and prevent future breakouts.
Benzoyl peroxide: kills acne-causing bacteria
Salicylic acid / AHA: exfoliates pores, reduces blockages
Retinoids: normalize cell turnover and prevent comedones
Azelaic acid: anti-inflammatory, reduces pigmentation
Hormonal therapy: regulates androgen-driven acne
Laser & microneedling: stimulates collagen, reduces scars
Clearer skin with reduced breakouts
Scar and PIH improvement
Reduced sebum production
Healthier, rejuvenated skin tone and texture
Prevention of future acne flare-ups
Patients with mild to severe acne
Hormonal acne patients
Sensitive skin considerations
Pregnant or breastfeeding women require specialized protocols
Allergies to active ingredients must be evaluated
Severe cystic acne may require specialist referral
