Acne & Acne Scar Treatment

DermAlly's dermatologist-directed acne programme combines medical management of active breakouts with targeted scar treatment using fractional CO2 laser, Pico laser, RF microneedling, and chemical peels — addressing acne from root cause to long-term cosmetic outcome.

Acne is both a medical condition and a cosmetic concern, and DermAlly's integrated approach reflects this duality by treating active disease alongside its visible aftermath. As a specialist dermatology clinic, DermAlly is able to prescribe the full range of acne medications — including topical retinoids and antibiotics, oral antibiotics, hormonal agents, and isotretinoin (Roaccutane) where indicated — in conjunction with in-clinic aesthetic treatments that address acne scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). For active acne, the clinic offers medical-grade chemical peels using salicylic acid and Jessner formulations, which exfoliate pore-clogging dead skin cells, reduce sebum production, and exert direct antibacterial effects on Cutibacterium acnes. These are typically performed in a series of 4–6 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart and are often combined with prescription topicals for accelerated clearance. For acne scarring, DermAlly employs a layered treatment strategy based on scar morphology. Boxcar and rolling scars respond well to Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing, which ablates damaged tissue and triggers deep collagen remodelling. Icepick scars — narrow and deep — may be treated with TCA CROSS (trichloroacetic acid chemical reconstruction of skin scars), a targeted spot technique that stimulates fibroblast activity within the scar channel. RF Gold Microneedling is used for mixed scar types, delivering controlled radiofrequency energy through gold-plated needles to the dermal collagen without disrupting the epidermal surface. Pico laser in fractional mode provides an additional option for patients who require collagen stimulation with minimal downtime between sessions. Subcision — a minor surgical procedure that releases fibrous tethering beneath rolling scars — is also available at DermAlly when indicated. Steroid injections are offered for hypertrophic or keloidal scars. Treatment plans are structured as multi-session courses and reviewed regularly by the dermatologist to assess response and progress treatment as healing occurs.
