Acne & Blemishes
Clear acne, prevent scarring, and restore skin clarity.
Acne is one of the most common medical skin conditions, affecting both adolescents and adults. While breakouts are often viewed as temporary, untreated acne can lead to ongoing inflammation, pigmentation changes, and permanent scarring.
At Advanced Hair & Skin Surgery, acne is approached as both a medical condition and a structural skin concern.
Effective treatment begins with understanding why acne is occurring. Through careful evaluation, we aim to control active disease, protect skin integrity, and prevent long-term damage – not simply manage symptoms temporarily.
Acne develops when hair follicles become blocked by excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This process triggers inflammation, leading to visible breakouts.
Common treatment areas include the face, chest, and back, though the underlying causes vary from person to person.
Acne is rarely caused by a single issue. Influencing factors may include:
Hormonal fluctuations, which increase oil production
Genetic predisposition affecting skin behaviour
Stress and lifestyle influences that worsen inflammation
Cosmetic or skincare products that clog pores
Environmental triggers such as heat, humidity, and pollution
Identifying contributing factors allows treatment to be precise rather than trial and error.
Non-inflammatory acne presents as blackheads and whiteheads caused by clogged pores without significant redness or swelling. While often mild, these lesions can progress if untreated.
Inflammatory acne includes papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts. These lesions appear red, swollen, and tender and carry a higher risk of scarring. Early intervention is key to preventing permanent skin changes.
When inflammation penetrates deeper layers of the skin, healing may leave visible marks.
Common post-acne concerns include:
Each requires a different treatment approach, which is why accurate diagnosis matters.
Acne treatment at Advanced Hair & Skin Surgery focuses on both active breakouts and long-term skin restoration.
Treatment plans may include advanced solution therapies designed to reduce inflammation, regulate oil production, and stabilize the skin environment.
The goal is sustained control, not temporary improvement.
For painful cystic acne, targeted cortisone microinjections provide rapid relief.
A tiny amount of medication is placed directly into the inflamed lesion to:
Most patients notice improvement within 24–48 hours.
Depressed acne scars often require structural correction beneath the skin rather than surface treatments alone.
Silicone microdroplet therapy involves placing microscopic amounts of medical-grade silicone beneath the scar to gently elevate it to the level of surrounding skin.
This technique:
Treatments are performed over a series of sessions to achieve balanced, refined results.
Acne affects more than appearance. Physically, it can create uneven texture, discolouration, and long-term structural changes in the skin. Emotionally, acne and scarring often influence confidence, social comfort, and self-perception.
Addressing acne is not purely cosmetic – it is restorative care focused on both skin health and personal wellbeing.
