Acne (or generally known as pimples) typically appears on your face and body. If not treated correctly, acne could lead to permanent scars.
What is Acne?
Acne (or generally known as pimples) typically appears on your face, neck, chest, back and shoulders. These areas of skin have the most oil (sebaceous) glands. Acne occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. There are a few commonly identified acne causes, and not limited to oil production, dead skin cells, clogged pores and bacteria infections.

What is Acne Scar?
Scarring from acne causes physical and psychological morbidity, negatively affecting the quality of life. It is not surprising that individuals with scarless faces have an upper hand when it comes to inquiring for certain jobs..
A scar is formed when the soft tissue of the skin is damaged. Cell proliferation begins and the whole collagen remodelling cascade is initiated to heal the wound. Unfortunately, the whole cascade is beyond control and when the scar is healing, texture and quality changed completely.
There are different kinds of acne scars depending on the appearance. A scar can be raised (hypertrophied/ keloid), flat with discolouration, or sunken/pitted (ice-pick, rolling scar, boxcar).
There are many acne scar removal treatments which are categorised into skin lasers, scar healer, oral and topical medication, and surgical intervention.

FAQ
Is pimple scar removal possible with laser treatments?
Laser treatments do not remove scars caused by pimples permanently. What laser treatments do is to reduce the scar appearance significantly and make it least visible to the naked eye.
Do acne scar removal products or cream work to remove acne scars?
No. There is no such cream that can remove scarring entirely. Even laser treatments are not able to remove scars 100% but are able to significantly lighten scars, leaving the scarred surfaces least visible to the naked eye.
What is Clique Acne Busters Treatment?
Sylfirm X is considered the best acne treatment for both acne conditions on face, neck and shoulders. It is also best recommended for back acne treatment.
Clique Multimodality Acne Treatment helps tighten the pores, prevents clogging, control sebum (oil) secretion, and prevents bacteria infections. Skin health is improved to further prevent more acne from forming as well as the residual scars.
What causes acne?
Acne is caused by clogged pores, which usually results from excess oil production, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Hormonal changes, stress, diet and certain medications can also contribute to acne. Understanding acne triggers is key to effective management and prevention.
Are there any side effects to acne treatments?
This depends on the particular treatment method you’re using. Most acne treatments are safe. However, some individuals may experience mild side effects such as redness, peeling, or sensitivity to light. These side effects usually resolve on their own in a few days. At Clique Clinic, we provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to minimise these effects and ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery process.
How long does it take to see results from acne treatments?
The timeline for visible results vary depending on the treatment method and the patient’s skin condition. In general, oral medications and topical creams may need a few weeks for improvements to show, while laser therapies may need several sessions to achieve optimal outcomes.
Can acne scars be completely removed?
This depends on the scar type and depth. Treatments like laser therapy, microneedling, and chemical peels are highly effective in minimising scars and improving skin texture. Speak to our clinicians for treatment recommendations that will work for your skin.
Can stress cause acne?
Yes, stress is an acne trigger. It can increase the body’s production of hormones such as cortisol, which boosts oil production in the skin. This can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. Stress can be managed through exercise, meditation and adequate rest to help mitigate its impact on your skin.
Can acne be removed naturally?
Some natural remedies may help manage mild acne or complement treatments. For instance, tea tree oil, green tea extract and aloe vera have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that can help acne-prone skin. However, for best results, these should be used as part of a broader, dermatologist-approved treatment plan.
How to choose the right acne treatment plan for my skin?
The right acne treatment plan depends on your skin type, acne severity, and specific skin concerns. Our clinicians can assess your skin condition and recommend treatments that are most suitable for your needs.
Can acne return after treatment?
Yes, acne can return after treatment, especially if it is triggered by stress or hormonal changes. A long-term management plan that includes lifestyle adjustments and maintenance treatments will help minimise the risk of occurrence.
How to prevent acne from recurring?
Acne prevention often involves a combination of regular skincare, dietary adjustments, and possibly ongoing treatments. Avoid known triggers, maintain a consistent cleansing routine, and use non-comedogenic products to help your skin clear. Regular check-ups with a dermatologist may also be needed for severe acne.
