Active Acne Treatment in Karachi
Acne treated as a medical condition: graded, diagnosed and cleared with prescription care and in-clinic peels, LED, laser and injections, so scars never form.
Is Active Acne Treatment right for me?
- For active acne at any age, from teenage breakouts to adult hormonal acne, cystic acne and body acne.
- A consultation with grading, then a combination of home prescription and in-clinic sessions of twenty to thirty minutes every two to four weeks.
- Clear improvement in six to eight weeks; control in three to four months, then maintenance.
Clear skin, without the scars.
Acne is a medical condition and it is treated at the clinic as one. Dr. Fehmida grades the acne, identifies the drivers, hormones, oil, bacteria, inflammation, and builds a plan that clears it and prevents the scars and marks that are harder to treat later. The plan combines prescription treatment with in-clinic procedures that speed clearance.
In-clinic options include salicylic and combination peels, blue and red LED light, laser treatment for active acne, HydraFacial clarifying, intralesional injections for painful cysts, and extraction. Prescription care covers topical and oral medication, including isotretinoin where it is the right answer, with monitoring.
Most patients see clear improvement within six to eight weeks and control within three to four months. Once the acne is clear, the same clinic treats the marks and scars it left.
