Acne & Acne Scar Treatments

Dr. Liew Hui Min
Our dermatologist, Dr Liew, will be able to help you to select the most suitable treatment plan for your acne problems. You could be school aged or going into adulthood, having hormonal issues or wanting to address scarring and pigmentation.
Investigations may be carried out to rule out polycystic ovary syndrome in females who suffer from irregular painful menses, as it is one of the causes of resistant acne.


Treatments for acne:
- Topical antibiotics
- Topical benzyl peroxide
- Topical retinoid
- Topical treatment to target spots and pigmentation
- Oral antibiotics with topical
- Oral retinoid with topical
- Oral contraceptive pills
- Cosmeceuticals selected for acne/oily skin to complement other medicated treatments
Other treatments which can complement management of acne will be:
- Hydradermabrasion procedure that simultaneously combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, hydration and antioxidant protection. Expected results are the improvement of appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, oily and congested skin.
- Lightening cream (hydroquinone or peptide or botanical range) to lighten pigmentation
- Laser treatment to help even your skin tone and reduce redness on your skin
Acne scars come in various forms:
- For shallow, depressed, and rolling scars; one can consider fractional CO2 laser or injections of fillers
- For ice picks; one can consider skin surgery or application of trichloroacetic acid
Our dermatologist will go through all the options available and discuss the pros and cons of each option.
