Acne Treatment
Complete Care for Acne: Clear, Healthy Skin Solutions
Acne is a common skin condition that can affect your appearance and confidence. It requires professional treatment for effective management and prevention of complications. At The Skin Sensé, we provide comprehensive, advanced treatments for acne to restore your skin's health and natural beauty.
What is Acne?
Acne is a common inflammatory skin condition affecting the oil glands and hair follicles. It occurs when pores become clogged with dead skin cells and excess sebum, leading to bacteria growth and inflammation. This results in various types of lesions including blackheads, whiteheads, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts that can appear on the face, chest, back, and shoulders.
Types of Acne We Treat
- Comedonal Acne – Blackheads and whiteheads from clogged pores
- Inflammatory Acne – Red, swollen pimples and pustules
- Cystic Acne – Deep, painful nodules and cysts
- Hormonal Acne – Breakouts related to hormonal fluctuations
- Adult Acne – Acne persisting or appearing in adulthood
- Acne Scars – Post-inflammatory marks and scarring
Causes of Acne
Acne develops from multiple factors:
- Excess Sebum Production – Overactive oil glands
- Clogged Follicles – Dead skin cell buildup
- Bacterial Infection – P. acnes bacteria growth

Frequently Asked Questions
Acne is caused by clogged pores, excess oil production, bacteria (P. acnes), and hormonal changes. It can affect people of all ages, from teenagers to adults, and severity varies based on genetics, hormones, and lifestyle factors.
We evaluate acne severity, skin type, affected areas, and your medical history. Treatment plans are customized based on these factors, your age, lifestyle, hormonal status, and treatment preferences for optimal results.
Early treatment and proper techniques help prevent scarring. Our advanced methods are designed to control acne while minimizing the risk of scarring, and we offer specialized scar treatments if needed.
Acne improvement typically begins within 2-4 weeks, with significant results visible in 8-12 weeks. Complete treatment may take several months, and maintenance therapy is often needed to prevent recurrence.
To prevent acne recurrence: follow a consistent skincare routine, avoid harsh scrubbing, use non-comedogenic products, maintain a healthy diet, manage stress levels, and follow our dermatologist's maintenance recommendations.
