From comedonal and inflammatory acne to cystic and hormonal breakouts, our doctors assess your skin condition before recommending suitable acne treatment.

Inflammatory Acne

Skin condition characterized by red, swollen and often painful bumps—papules, pustules, nodules. Typically caused by bacteria, excess oil, and dead skin clogging follicles.

Cystic Acne

Severe form of acne and develops deep beneath the skin’s surface. It presents as large, painful, pus-filled lumps and is more likely to cause acne scars if not treated properly.

Scar subcision
