Acne is one of the most common skin concerns, affecting both teenagers and adults.
Its causes range from hormones and genetics to stress and lifestyle factors, which means effective treatment requires more than over-the-counter products.
At Dermanostics, our dermatologists provide personalized, medical-grade care using advanced technologies to regulate oil production, calm inflammation, and restore long-term skin clarity.
What Causes Acne?
Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with excess oil and dead skin cells, allowing Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) bacteria to grow and trigger inflammation.
It can appear on the face, jawline, chest, back, or shoulders—areas with more active oil glands.
Several factors contribute to this process:
Internal factors
- Hormonal changes: Puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, PCOS, or menopause can all increase oil production.
- Stress: Elevated cortisol levels can overstimulate the sebaceous glands.
- Genetics: A family history of acne can make you more prone to breakouts.
External factors
- Comedogenic cosmetics: Heavy creams or makeup can block pores.
- Occlusion and friction: Tight masks or helmets trap heat and bacteria.
- Certain medications: Some steroids, contraceptives, or supplements affect hormones.
- Diet: High-glycaemic foods and dairy may worsen acne in some people.
Despite common belief, acne isn’t caused by poor hygiene. In fact, over-cleansing or harsh products can damage the skin barrier and make acne worse.
Our Approach to Acne Treatment
All our acne treatment plans begin with a consultation to identify triggers, skin type, and severity.
We classify acne by severity to tailor care effectively:
- Mild acne: Deep cleansing, exfoliation, and oil regulation.
- Moderate acne: Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory therapies.
- Severe acne: Specialized laser or injection-based treatments to control inflammation and prevent scarring.
Our goal is to restore skin clarity while preserving its natural barrier. Once active acne improves, maintenance sessions and consistent skincare help prevent recurrence.
Acne Treatments Available at Dermanostics

Supportive Facials for Acne-Prone Skin

Acne Treatment for Sensitive Skin
For reactive or easily irritated skin, our dermatologists design gentler programs that balance results and comfort.
- Barrier-first approach with mild cleansers and soothing moisturisers.
- Adjusted laser or light settings to minimise irritation.
- Gradual treatment pacing for recovery between sessions.
- Close monitoring to adapt as the skin strengthens.
This approach helps achieve visible improvements without compromising the skin’s natural resilience.
Acne Scar Treatment
Once active acne is under control, you may still notice lingering marks or uneven texture that require targeted treatment.
Our dermatologists assess your skin to determine whether you’re dealing with pigmentation, redness, or true scarring, then recommend the most effective next step.
For pitted scars, red and brown marks, and texture irregularities, our acne scar treatment program combines laser resurfacing, RF microneedling, subcision, and collagen-stimulating injections — matched to your specific scar mix and skin type.
