Acne & Breakouts
“Those frustrating pimples that keep returning despite everything you have tried”
Acne affects people across ages—not just teenagers. With proper dermatologist-led care, most acne responds well to treatment.
Common Signs
Understanding Why
What it is
Acne forms when oil and dead cells clog pores, letting bacteria trigger inflammation. It is not about hygiene—hormones, genetics, stress and products all play a role.
Common Triggers
- Hormonal shifts (puberty, periods, PCOS, pregnancy)
- Overactive oil glands and clogged pores
- Genetics and family history
- Stress, sleep and lifestyle factors
- Pore-clogging skincare or makeup
How we treat it
We identify your acne type, triggers and sensitivity first, then build a layered plan—controlling breakouts, preventing new ones and fading marks.

FAQs
Will my acne ever go away completely?
For many, yes. With structured treatment, acne can be well-controlled or cleared. Some need ongoing maintenance if hormones play a role.
Is it okay to pop pimples at home?
No. Squeezing pushes bacteria deeper, worsens inflammation and can leave scars. If a pimple is troublesome, visit us for safe extraction.
Do I have to stop wearing makeup during treatment?
Not necessarily. We recommend non-comedogenic products. Brief makeup breaks may help during certain procedures.
Why do I still get acne as an adult?
Adult acne is common. Hormones, stress, diet and skincare ingredients can trigger breakouts into your thirties and beyond. It responds well to treatment.
