Acne treatment can help you achieve smooth, clear, and healthy skin when guided by the right professional care. At Altaderma Clinic, our specialists create personalised treatment plans that target the root causes of acne using advanced technology and medical expertise. Each session is designed to restore your skin’s balance, confidence, and natural glow.
Understanding acne treatment
Acne treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, unclogging pores, and regulating sebum production to prevent new breakouts. It goes beyond simply clearing pimples, it targets the underlying causes of acne such as bacteria, hormonal imbalances, and skin congestion.
At Altaderma Clinic, acne treatments are tailored to your skin type, acne severity, and overall skin health. By combining clinical precision with advanced laser technology, we ensure your skin heals evenly, regains its clarity, and looks naturally refreshed.
Who is a good candidate for acne treatment?
Almost anyone suffering from acne can benefit from professional treatment. Ideal candidates include those with:
- Persistent or severe acne unresponsive to over-the-counter products
- Acne scars or post-inflammatory marks
- Hormonal or cystic acne
- Oily or sensitive skin prone to frequent breakouts
- Patients who have relapsed after one or more successful courses of Roaccutane (Isotretinoin)
- Patients who are not candidates for Roaccutane (Isotretinoin)
Advanced acne treatments available
There is no single solution that works for everyone. Each acne treatment plan at Altaderma Clinic is carefully designed to meet your unique needs, often combining one or more of the following procedures:
- Medical-grade facials and chemical peels
These exfoliate dead skin cells, regulate sebum production, and unclog pores while improving overall texture and tone.
- Laser and light therapies
Our clinic offers two of the most advanced and effective laser systems for acne management:
- ClearSkin – Alma Lasers: This non-ablative laser penetrates deep into the skin to destroy acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and stimulate collagen production. It is gentle, effective, and ideal for treating active acne and post-acne marks without downtime.
- Forever Clear BBL – Sciton Lasers: This cutting-edge light therapy uses broadband light to target acne at its source. It eliminates bacteria, calms redness, and promotes skin renewal, leaving the complexion clear, calm, and radiant.
Both laser systems are safe for various skin types and deliver visible results with minimal discomfort.
- PRP therapy and AQ Anti-Inflammatory Growth Factors
These treatments promote healing and collagen regeneration, helping to smooth out acne scars and refine skin texture.
- Prescription medications
When needed, topical or oral medications may be combined with in-clinic treatments to achieve long-term control and prevent recurrence.
All treatments are either FDA approved or CE-marked and are approved by the Ministry of Health – UAE. Following a thorough consultation, your dermatologist will recommend the ideal combination of therapies to deliver maximum results safely and effectively. Two of the systems we use often in laser and light therapies are Sciton and Alma Lasers – both of which our Managing Director, Dr. Maria Khattar, is an official trainer and key opinion leader of the two technologies in the Middle East. Altaderma Clinic is also proud to be recognized as a Sciton Center of Excellence.
What to expect during the acne treatment process
Your acne treatment at Altaderma Clinic will begin with a skilled skin evaluation to determine the type of acne and its trigger. Then, your dermatologist will devise an acne treatment strategy that may include both in-clinic sessions and home care products. Most acne treatments are gentle, and you may experience mild tingling or warmth during the procedure. Over time, you’ll notice fewer breakouts, smoother skin, and a more radiant complexion.
Results and treatment duration
The outcome of acne treatment varies based on the kind of treatment and skin condition. Some people experience acne treatment results within a few weeks; however, deeper acne may require more sessions to heal. Generally, visible improvement begins after three to six sessions. With regular skincare and upkeep, the results of acne treatment can persist for months or even years.
Aftercare and skin maintenance
To maintain your acne treatment results, follow these aftercare instructions:
- To maintain healthy skin, use a soft cleanser and avoid harsh scrubs.
- Apply sunscreen regularly and stay hydrated.
- Avoid touching or picking pimples.
- Follow your dermatologist’s skincare routine.
Your acne treatment aftercare plan at Altaderma Clinic guarantees long-term recovery and prevents recurrence.
Safety and potential side effects
When performed by a qualified professional, acne treatments are generally considered safe. Mild redness, dryness, or sensitivity may develop, although they normally resolve within a few days. To lower risk:
- Avoid sun exposure immediately after treatment.
- Use dermatologist-recommended products only.
- Attend the follow-up sessions as suggested.
Having your acne treatment performed by qualified professionals reduces the possibility of any negative side effects.
Sessions and duration
Between four and eight sessions, two to four weeks apart, depending on acne severity and skin response. Maintenance treatments every few months can help keep your complexion clear, smooth, and blemish-free.
At Altaderma Clinic, your journey to clearer skin begins with expert assessment, advanced technology, and a commitment to long-term, healthy results.
All doctors at Altaderma Clinic are trained by Dr. Maria Khattar and follow the same treatment procedures. So, no matter which doctor you see, your treatment will be carried out in the same way.
