What is Acne and what causes it?

Acne is a common chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterised by the formation of bumps such as comedones (whiteheads, blackheads), nodules, and/or cysts on the skin.

The underlying cause of acne involves a combination of factors that affects each other. These factors include Genetic, hormonal, excessive sebum production and environmental factors which contribute to the development of acne.

Understanding these factors is crucial for formulating effective treatment strategies to help stop recurring acne for good.

Which type of acne do you have?

Finding the right treatment for your Acne

At KINS Clinic, we believe that acne treatments should never be one-size-fits-all.

We understand the importance of tailoring treatments to meet the unique needs of each individual.

That's why our dedicated team of doctors personalises acne treatments specifically for you, taking into account your microbiome health and acne condition.

As a general acne treatment guideline at KINS Clinic, we simplified our acne treatments into 4 levels to help you understand and prepare you on potential acne treatments that your doctor may propose during the actual consultation.

Acne Treatment Options:

Option 1: Facial Treatment

In the initial phase of treatment, our focus is on managing inflammation. Employing a tailored combination of treatment methods, medications, and post-care products, we can successfully minimize redness and inflammation in the skin.

At KINS Clinic, we use HydraFacial, a patented technology, employs vortex cleansing to purify pores and eliminate micro-blockages that contribute to pimples and acne breakouts. Simultaneously, the facial clears debris and congestion, including blackheads and whiteheads, promoting a thorough cleanse, extraction, and hydration of the skin. After clearing the skin, we utilize Blue Light Therapy to effectively kill off any P.Acne Bacteria on the skin and to strengthen the skin barrier to prevent further inflammation.

After the blue light therapy, we use our signature Aloe Vera mask to soothe redness and cool down the skin, retaining all the moisture within the skin.

As the last step of our Level 1 acne treatment, we complete the routine with our treatment by ending with a Microbiome treatment, using KINS Signature Microbiome skincare products developed by our labs in Japan to help strengthen your skin barrier while improving cellular recovery to help you speed up your acne inflammation recovery.

Option 2: Laser Treatments

In any acne treatment plan, laser treatments play a pivotal role. Lasers effectively focus on the P. acnes bacteria responsible for causing acne breakouts on the skin. Moreover, lasers can be personalized to the acne condition of each individual by setting different wavelengths to target the excess blood vessels around inflamed areas, including scars and pigmentation left behind post-acne healing.

For those seeking a treatment with minimal downtime, our Vbeam laser treatment is a great and effective choice. When administered by a skilled professional, laser treatment for acne is not only swift but also yields excellent results. A single session typically lasts between 10 to 15 minutes, allowing patients to resume their daily activities shortly after the treatment.

Option 3: Topical Treatments

Topical medications offer a variety of targeted ingredients demonstrably effective in managing acne vulgaris. Common topical agents fall into three main categories:

Topical Retinoids: Tretinoin, Adapalene, and Tazarotene are prescriptions that effectively target comedonal acne (blackheads & whiteheads) by keeping skin pores clean and preventing future breakouts.

Antibacterial Agents: Benzoyl peroxide, Clindamycin, and Erythromycin are antibiotic warriors that fight acne-causing bacteria, reducing their numbers and calming inflammation.

Keratolytic Agents: Salicylic acid, Hydroxy acid, and Azelaic acid act like gentle exfoliators, dissolving away dead skin cells that clog pores and contribute to pimples. Imagine them as pore-clearing cheerleaders, helping trapped pimples shrink and fade.

Option 4: Oral Treatments

Recommended only for serious acne conditions, there are generally 3 types of oral medications that a doctor may prescribe, depending on your acne and health condition:

Oral Antibiotics: Helps your body to fight acne bacteria and reduce inflammation. Oral antibiotics like Doxycycline, Tetracycline, Minocycline, and Erythromycin tackle the P. acnes bacteria that contribute to acne, calming inflammation and reducing breakouts.

Oral Isotretinoin: Recommended for stubborn and tough acne. When other treatments fall short, oral isotretinoin, a powerful retinoid, steps in. It shrinks oil glands, clears inflammation, and tackles even severe nodulocystic acne effectively.

Hormonal Therapy: Helps balances your hormonal level to attain clearer skin. For hormonal acne, options like birth control pills and Spironolactone can be powerful allies. They help regulate hormones to prevent breakouts before they start.

In addition to undergoing clinical acne treatments, it is imperative to ensure that your daily skincare routine is well-balanced and tailored to your specific skin type to sustain the achieved results. Incorporating a range of Microbiome skincare products can help strengthen and boost skin recovery and prevent acne bacteria and inflammations without feeling tightness or excessive dryness.

At KINS Clinic, we offer a diverse array of topical and oral medications customized to address your unique skin condition, ensuring optimal results. In cases of severe cystic acne and nodular acne, oral medication may be recommended.
