Acne Treatment

Specialist acne management by dermatologist Dr Wong Su-Ni, covering all acne grades from comedonal to cystic. Treatment includes topical and systemic therapy, chemical peels, laser, and scar management.

Acne treatment at Dr SN Wong Skin Clinic is managed at specialist level by Dr Wong Su-Ni, a Senior Consultant Dermatologist with experience treating the full spectrum of acne presentations — from mild comedonal acne to severe nodulo-cystic acne requiring systemic therapy. The initial consultation involves grading the acne severity, identifying contributing factors (hormonal, dietary, skin-care routine, comedogenic products), and dermoscopic examination where needed to rule out mimicking conditions such as rosacea or miliaria. Treatment protocols are tailored to the individual and may combine pharmacological and procedural approaches. Topical treatments include retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, azelaic acid, and topical antibiotics. Systemic options encompass oral antibiotics (for moderate-severe inflammatory acne), hormonal therapy (for females with hormonal acne), and isotretinoin (Roaccutane) for severe or recalcitrant cases — managed and monitored by Dr Wong with appropriate blood test surveillance. Procedural acne treatments offered at the clinic include chemical peels (salicylic acid, glycolic acid) for comedonal and superficial inflammatory acne, CO2 laser and fractional laser resurfacing for acne scar treatment, Revlite pigment laser for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and comedone extraction for active blockages. The clinic's dual capability — pharmacological management plus in-house laser and procedural infrastructure — makes it a comprehensive destination for patients who have not responded to GP-level acne treatment or who require scar correction alongside active disease management.
