What Causes Pimple?
Acne (Pimple) is a common skin condition marked by chronic inflammation, leading to bumps like comedones (whiteheads, blackheads), nodules, and cysts.
Multiple factors contribute to acne, including genetics, hormones, excess sebum production, and environmental influences.
Understanding these factors is essential to creating an effective treatment plan to prevent recurring acne(pimple).

Unsure of your pimple condition?
If you're unsure about your pimple condition, remember that a "one-size-fits-all" approach doesn't work for everyone. Different types of acne require different treatment strategies. If over-the-counter solutions aren’t helping, it’s best to seek professional help before your condition worsens.
Finding the Best Acne(Pimple) Treatment for You
We believe that a personalized approach is crucial for treating acne effectively.
Our team of dedicated doctors designs acne treatments tailored to each patient’s unique condition, including factors like microbiome health.
We break down our treatments into five options, helping patients understand what they may experience during their journey to clearer skin.
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 pimple facial 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 pimple treatment plan, laser treatments play a pivotal role. Lasers effectively target P. acnes bacteria, which causes breakouts. Additionally, laser settings can be customized to target excess blood vessels around inflamed areas, including scars and pigmentation left post-acne healing.
For minimal downtime, our Vbeam laser is an excellent choice, swiftly reducing inflammation and yielding great results. A session lasts around 10-15 minutes.
At KINS Clinic, we also offer CO2 Fractional Laser Resurfacing. This laser effectively treats deeper acne scars by resurfacing the skin, promoting collagen production, and improving skin texture for smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Our Q-Switch Laser is a highly versatile treatment that addresses multiple skin concerns. It reduces pigmentation, acne scars, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, while also improving freckles, age spots, dullness, and tightening pores. This laser can even be used for tattoo removal, making it a multi-functional option for overall skin improvement.
Each laser treatment at KINS Clinic is tailored to your specific skin needs, ensuring effective results for pimple, acne scars, and skin rejuvenation.
Option 3
Injection Treatments
Injection treatments are also effective option for addressing pimple at KINS Clinic.
Steroid injections are particularly effective for severe inflammatory pimple, especially large nodules or those with accumulated pus. By delivering steroids directly to the inflamed areas, these injections quickly reduce swelling and inflammation.
Microneedling uses fine needles to create microchannelsin the skin, stimulating natural healing processes, promoting collagen and hyaluronic acid production, and helping regulate skin turnover to control sebum secretion for smoother, clearer skin.
Skin Remodeling Treatment involves injecting hyaluronic acid and polynucleotides (PN) into the skin, encouraging cell regeneration and boosting collagen production. This treatment enhances skin firmness, elasticity, and moisture, making it more resistant to acne. At KINS Clinic, we offer personalized solutions using Profhilo, Plinest, and Skinbooster to meet individual needs.
Option 4
Oral & 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.
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.
Option 5
Microbiome skincare
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.
