Acne FAQs

How long until I see results?

Most patients see improvement within 4-8 weeks, but significant clearing typically takes 3-4 months. Consistency is key!

Will my acne come back after treatment?

With proper treatment and maintenance, many patients achieve long-term clearance. We'll develop a maintenance plan to prevent recurrence.

No, we accept self-referrals for acne care. Simply book an appointment directly with us.

Myth: Acne is caused by poor hygiene

Fact: Acne is a medical condition involving oil, bacteria, and hormones. Over-washing can actually make it worse.

Myth: Only teenagers get acne

Fact: Adult acne is common, affecting many people well into their 30s, 40s, and beyond.

Myth: Groundnut (peanuts) causes acne

Fact: There is no strong scientific evidence that groundnuts directly cause acne. Acne is mainly influenced by hormones, excess oil production, clogged pores, and bacteria. Only individuals who notice personal flare-ups after eating certain foods may need dietary adjustments.

Myth: Sun exposure clears acne

Fact: Sun may temporarily dry pimples but can worsen acne long-term and increase scarring.
