Acne & Acne Control Treatment
Doctor-guided acne programs designed to control active breakouts, excess oil, congestion and inflammation while helping reduce post-acne marks and the risk of future scarring through personalised skin care and technology-based treatments.
About Acne & Acne Control Treatment
““A structured approach to calmer, clearer and healthier-looking skin.””
Acne & Acne Control Treatment at KAC
Acne is not simply a surface skin problem. Breakouts may be influenced by excess oil production, clogged pores, inflammation, hormonal changes, lifestyle factors, skincare products and individual skin behaviour.
At Karthika’s Aesthetic Centre, acne treatment begins with understanding the type and severity of acne, rather than using the same facial or peel for everyone.
During your consultation, we assess active breakouts, oiliness, congestion, blackheads, whiteheads, inflammation, post-acne pigmentation and the risk of scarring.
Depending on your skin condition, treatment may combine professional acne-control peels, deep cleansing protocols, LED therapy, calming treatments, targeted skin infusions, acne-focused MediFacials and other suitable technologies.
When required, clients with persistent, severe or hormonally influenced acne may also be advised to seek appropriate medical evaluation.
Our goal is to control active acne first, protect the skin barrier and gradually improve marks, texture and overall skin health.
Treatment Procedures and Details
Understanding Your Acne
Before treatment, we assess the pattern and possible contributors to your breakouts.
We evaluate:
• Acne type
Blackheads, whiteheads, inflammatory pimples, pustules and deeper lesions may require different approaches.
• Oil production & congestion
Excess sebum and blocked pores can contribute to repeated breakouts.
• Inflammation
Redness, tenderness and active irritation are assessed before choosing stronger procedures.
• Acne location & pattern
Forehead, cheeks, jawline, chin and neck patterns can provide useful information during assessment.
• Post-acne marks & scarring risk
Pigmentation and early textural changes are considered as part of the treatment plan.
• Lifestyle & skin-care factors
Cosmetics, unsuitable products, diet patterns, stress and certain habits may influence some clients.
Treatment is then personalised according to what your skin actually needs.
Acne Assessment First
We assess breakout type, oiliness, inflammation, pigmentation and scarring risk before planning treatment.
Control Active Breakouts
The first priority is to reduce active acne, congestion and inflammation before focusing on marks or scars.
Skin-Barrier Focused
Treatments are balanced to avoid unnecessary irritation and protect the skin barrier during acne control.
Long-Term Management
Acne often requires consistent care, appropriate home products and maintenance rather than one-time treatment.
Your Personalised Acne Program
The treatment plan depends on the type and severity of acne.
For oily and congested skin, treatment may include professional cleansing, controlled exfoliation, acne-focused peels and pore-management protocols.
For inflamed acne, the initial approach may focus on calming, oil control, LED therapy and barrier support before stronger treatments are introduced.
Once active acne is better controlled, the program may gradually address post-acne pigmentation, uneven texture and early scarring with appropriate procedures.
Depending on your skin, treatments may include:
• Acne-control chemical peels
• LED light therapy
• Acne-focused MediFacials
• Professional extraction where appropriate
• Oil-control and calming protocols
• Targeted skin infusion
• Pigmentation correction for post-acne marks
• Microneedling / RF Microneedling later for selected acne scars
Active acne and acne scars are treated differently, so scar procedures are usually planned only after breakouts are sufficiently controlled.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need? Acne control usually requires a series of treatments and consistent home care. The exact number depends on acne severity, skin type and individual response. Can acne be cured permanently? Acne can often be controlled very well, but recurrence is possible, particularly when hormonal or lifestyle factors are involved. Maintenance may be required. Can I treat acne marks at the same time? Mild pigmentation may sometimes be addressed during acne control, but active inflammatory acne is usually prioritised first. Can facials worsen acne? Aggressive extraction, heavy products or inappropriate facials can irritate acne-prone skin. Acne treatments should be selected according to the condition of the skin. Does diet cause acne? Diet is not the only cause of acne, but some people may notice worsening with certain dietary patterns. Individual triggers vary. Can hormonal acne occur in adults? Yes. Adult acne, especially around the chin and jawline, may have hormonal influences and may require further medical assessment in some cases. Should I squeeze pimples? No. Picking or squeezing increases inflammation and can increase the risk of pigmentation and scarring. When should I see a dermatologist? Severe, painful, cystic, rapidly worsening or persistent acne may require medical treatment beyond aesthetic skin procedures.
