Acne
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting teenagers and adults alike. It appears as blackheads, whiteheads, red bumps or deeper, painful spots on the face, chest or back, and it can leave marks or scars if it is not managed well.
At Accura Aesthetic, acne care starts with a professional assessment to understand the type and severity of your acne and what is driving it, so your plan treats the cause — not only the spots you can see.
What causes acne?
Acne develops when pores become blocked by oil and dead skin cells, allowing bacteria and inflammation to build up. Several factors can make it worse:
- Hormonal changes, including adult and hormonal acne
- Excess oil production and congested pores
- Heavy or unsuitable skincare and make-up
- Stress, lack of sleep and some medications
- Genetics and family history
How we assess and treat acne
Your doctor examines the type of spots, how inflamed they are, where they appear and whether marks or scars have formed. Your plan may combine:
- Medical treatment and prescription skincare from our dermatologists
- Acne facials to deep-clean congested, acne-prone skin
- Chemical peels to reduce congestion, excess oil and post-acne marks
- A daily routine you can realistically maintain
What to expect
Acne improves gradually. Most people notice fewer new breakouts within 6–12 weeks of consistent treatment, and long-term maintenance helps keep skin clear. Once active acne is controlled, any remaining marks or scars can be treated separately.
- Avoid squeezing or picking spots — it increases scarring and pigmentation
- Use non-comedogenic products and daily sunscreen
Suitable options
Your doctor will confirm the best option after examination.

Common questions
What is the best treatment for acne?
There is no single answer. Your doctor sets the plan according to severity and skin type, which may combine medical treatment with peels or carbon laser.
Is adult acne different from teenage acne?
Often, yes. Adult acne is frequently hormonal and tends to appear on the lower face and jawline. It responds well to a tailored medical plan.
How long until I see results?
Most patients see improvement within 6–12 weeks. Severe or hormonal acne can take longer and needs follow-up visits.
Can a facial or peel cure acne on its own?
They help control congestion and oil, but lasting results usually come from combining them with medical skincare and the right home routine.
Will treating acne also remove my scars?
Active acne is treated first. Scars and marks are treated afterwards with options such as Dermapen, laser resurfacing or peels.
Is acne treatment suitable for men?
Yes. Our acne plans are designed for both men and women and adjusted to skin type and lifestyle.
