Are you worried about your skin having pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, or cysts, causing discomfort and appearance issues?
Acne Treatment in Dubai at Dynamic Life Clinics may be the solution for you. Acne treatment cleans the skin and allows the blocked pores to open so as to not cause more inflammation of the skin. Our dermatologist, Dr. Leen Makhlouf, is a specialist in non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatments with 7 years of clinical experience.
What is Acne?
Acne is an inflammation of the skin, causing different skin conditions appearing as abnormal growth on the particular skin tissue as compared to the surroundings. It can be small or large in size, ranging from under 5 millimeters to more than 10 millimeters as well. Acne is caused when hair follicles under the skin become clogged by oil (sebum), causing the skin to have abnormal growth on the surface due to inflammation. This abnormal growth can be whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, or cysts.
What is Acne Treatment?
Acne treatment refers to different procedures that treat the inflammation of the skin to allow better, more hydrated, and cleaner skin and appearance. These procedures are mostly non-invasive or minimally invasive. They can be done through topical creams or injectable medicines that rejuvenate the skin. Procedures such as microneedling are used to treat acne scars. They trigger or act as catalysts for the body’s natural recovery process.
Types of Acne Treatment:
There are several types of acne treatment that can benefit a person depending on the type of acne. Here are some common treatments:
Chemical peels
Chemical peels involve applying chemicals such as salicylic, hyaluronic, glycolic, or retinoic acids to the skin. This is used for mild acne and requires repetition for maximum efficiency. The treatment is not a permanent solution, but it improves the appearance of the skin temporarily.
Light Therapy
Light therapy is an in-cabin procedure that has been tested many times and has shown high rates of success. It requires going to the doctor multiple times, and repeated therapy is needed under the light color of your requirement. However, extended research on the matter will determine what light, intensity, color, etc. would be ideal for different types of acne.
Steroid Injections
Steroid injections are used in case of cysts or nodular lesions. The steroids penetrate deep into the skin. There may be side effects such as skin thinning or discolouration.
Drainage and Extraction
Cysts or comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) that do not get cleared up by topical ointments are drained and removed through specialized tools that are used by dermatologists. It can cause scarring, but it improves the overall condition and appearance of the skin.
How does acne treatment work?
Different acne treatments work in different ways, primarily by hydrating and cleaning the skin. Most acne treatments use salicylic acid and glycolic acid to hydrate and cleanse the skin. Pores that get clogged due to dirt, sweat, or oil trigger acne on the skin. Acne treatments clean these pores, hydrate the skin, and allow the skin to rejuvenate by triggering collagen production in the skin cells.

Procedure: How is acne treated and by what techniques?
Acne treatments, depending on the severity and type of acne, are treated differently using different methods. We follow step-by-step procedures for all treatments. Here is a breakdown of how the treatment proceeds:
Initial Consultation
The doctor determines what kind of technique would suit you best after your initial consultation. Details of different acne treatments that are offered by our Clinic are as follows:
Chemical peels
Chemical peels need repetition to treat acne. They involve the skin being treated with hyaluronic acid, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or all three to cleanse, hydrate, and help the skin rejuvenate. The treatment temporarily improves appearance but needs frequent maintenance.
Laser treatment
Laser treatment involves using laser pulses on the skin directly to trigger the body’s natural recovery processes. It also requires multiple sessions but can cure acne effectively.
Microneedling
Microneedling punctures the skin using tiny, fine needles that trigger neocollagenosis. It is the process by which the skin produces collagen. Microneedling is an effective, approved, and preferred way of treating pigmentation and acne scars.
Steroid injections
Nodular or cystic growths require steroid injections that penetrate deep into the tissue and target the cells that are infected.
Light Therapy
Light therapy uses red, blue, or yellow light to cure skin conditions. Depending on the severity and the type of acne, the doctor may advise you to use light therapy. Light therapy is a completely non-invasive way of treating acne and may require recurring sessions.
Cleansing the skin
Once the treatment method has been decided, the doctor thoroughly cleanses the skin. If needed, topical anesthetic ointment may be applied to ensure comfort in case of minimally invasive techniques.
Post-treatment guidelines
The doctor will give you a personalized treatment plan and may ask you to schedule a follow-up to keep track of your recovery.
