Severe acne is indeed a troubling issue to deal with alone. More often than not, despite your best efforts to control acne on your own, acne outbreaks don’t get better, and may even seem to get worse.

Do not hesitate to see a doctor if your acne does not improve after 6 to 8 weeks of using over-the-counter acne products.

Do not pick or squeeze your pimples. This increases the probability of acne scars.

Generally, you should also avoid any prolonged sun exposure prior to treatment, and always use a sunblock of at least SPF30 when you are out. This is especially so in Singapore, where we experience a sunny climate all year round.  

All our treatment options are designed to effectively combat acne with minimal-to-zero downtime. There could be mild dryness, flaking or some light sensitivity of your skin after treatment, but it should subside in a few days. Generally, stay protected from prolonged sun exposure. Our doctors will recommend a customized post-treatment care accordingly, to ensure you get the best results.

You are likely to see a reduction of inflammatory acne after 2-4 months with our treatments. Results will continue to progress following consistent treatment in the long run.

As skin is a personal issue, we recommend that you come in for a consultation with our doctors who can offer comprehensive and customized treatment plans for all types of skin including sensitive skin.

This current episode of acne may be over, but it does not mean that your skin will not relapse and break out in the future. We recommend getting maintenance treatment once every few months and keeping to a skincare regime to ensure that the effects of your acne treatment are preserved.

At Fusion Medical, our doctors curate individualised acne treatment plans specific to your skin condition, ensuring you receive the medical care you deserve.
