Considered acne & comedone treatment, plainly.

Acne is treated medically — we identify hormonal, dietary or lifestyle contributors, manage active lesions with topical and oral therapy as appropriate, and use procedural support (peels, comedone extraction, intralesional cysts) to accelerate clearance. Prevention of scarring is the priority; cosmetic concerns follow.

We sequence acne & comedone treatment into a course that respects how skin actually changes — visible result by the end of the schedule, with a written review at the halfway mark. Strength is stepped up only when the previous session has settled completely.

A consultation precedes the first session: examination, history, and a written plan delivered the next morning. We do not double-book.

The cases we see most.

Hover or tap any indication for context. The decision to treat depends on the examination — we explain plainly when it is the right answer and when it is not.

From day one to held.
