The basics
Understanding Acne
Acne happens when pores become clogged with oil and dead skin, often with added inflammation and bacteria. It can be driven by hormones, genetics, skincare, diet and stress, which is why a one-size-fits-all approach rarely works. A proper assessment identifies what is driving your breakouts so treatment targets the real cause, not just the spots you can see.

Results and What to Expect
Acne improves gradually, and consistency is key. Many people see fewer and calmer breakouts over a few weeks, with marks and texture continuing to improve over a longer period. Because acne can return if the underlying cause is not managed, ongoing care and the right routine help keep skin clear.

Is it right for you
Who Acne Treatment Suits
Doctor-led acne treatment is for anyone whose breakouts are not settling with over-the-counter products, from whiteheads and blackheads to inflamed papules, pustules and deeper, painful cystic acne. It helps teenagers and adults alike, including women with hormonal acne around the jaw and chin, and people whose acne keeps returning or is starting to leave marks and scars. Acne has different causes, so the most important step is for the doctor to assess the type and severity and look at contributing factors before recommending treatment. Treating active acne properly and early also reduces the risk of long-term scarring, which is far harder to correct later.
What to expect
Your Plan, Timeline and Aftercare
After assessing your skin, the doctor builds a plan that may combine prescription topicals, oral medication where appropriate, and in-clinic treatments such as gentle peels, all chosen for your acne type and skin. Acne does not clear overnight: most people see steady improvement over several weeks to a few months, and sticking to the plan consistently is what makes it work. A simple, gentle skincare routine and daily sun protection support the treatment and help fade marks, while avoiding picking or squeezing reduces scarring. Your doctor reviews your progress, manages any side effects and adjusts the plan as your skin improves, with a longer-term focus on keeping breakouts under control.

How long until my acne clears?

Is acne treatment only for teenagers?
No. Adult acne, including hormonal acne in women, is very common, and the same doctor-led approach helps at any age.
Can you treat acne scars as well?

Acne Treatment Outcomes: 2025 Clinical Evidence
A 2025 systematic review published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology analysed 42 trials and confirmed that combination therapy — pairing a retinoid with an oral antibiotic or benzoyl peroxide — achieves clearance rates of 85–89% for moderate-to-severe acne, significantly outperforming monotherapy. For post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), the same review found that adding topical azelaic acid or tranexamic acid to the regimen reduced PIH lesion count by an average of 72% at 12 weeks. In Malaysia, a 2024 multicentre audit by the Malaysian Dermatological Society found that 68% of acne patients presenting to aesthetic clinics had already tried over-the-counter products for more than 6 months without improvement, underscoring the importance of evidence-based medical protocols. At Vivardi Clinics, all acne treatment plans are designed by LCP-certified doctors using current clinical guidelines.
