What Is Acne Treatment?
Acne treatment in medical aesthetics involves managing inflammatory breakouts and sebaceous gland-related skin concerns through mesotherapy, laser, chemical peeling, and proper skincare. This guide summarizes who is a candidate, the number of sessions required, and how home care can support treatment.
Mesotherapy for Acne Treatment
Acne mesotherapy involves injecting anti-inflammatory and oil-regulating cocktails beneath the skin to tighten pores and reduce active acne. Typically 4-6 sessions are administered at 2-week intervals. You can refer to our article on what mesotherapy is and who it is suitable for.
Laser and Light Therapy for Acne Treatment
Laser and IPL devices target sebaceous glands, reduce bacteria, and help lighten scar discoloration. The number of sessions is planned between 3-6 depending on severity. Our laser pigment treatment and acne scar treatment guides provide further details on related topics.
Chemical Peeling for Acne Treatment
Glycolic acid and salicylic acid peels open pores, remove dead cells, and alleviate the appearance of acne. Superficial peels can be repeated every 2-4 weeks. Further details are available in our chemical peeling types and post-peeling care guides.
Acne and Home Skincare
Using a cleanser, oil-free moisturizer, niacinamide or retinol (as recommended by your physician), and sunscreen supports acne treatment. Our skincare routine and skin type determination articles can be helpful.
Patience is essential in acne treatment; mesotherapy and laser sessions are scheduled 2-4 weeks apart, and the first noticeable improvement may be seen within 4-6 weeks. At-home use of niacinamide or retinol, as recommended by a physician, supports the treatment. Once active inflammatory acne has subsided, pigmentation and scar treatments yield more effective results.
