Acne Treatment

Specialist medical and procedural acne management by Consultant Dermatologist Dr Evelyn Tay. Covers active acne treatment and acne scar reduction using medical-grade lasers, chemical peels, TCA CROSS, and RF microneedling.

Lumine Dermatology & Laser Clinic offers evidence-based acne management under the care of Dr Evelyn Tay, a Consultant Dermatologist with extensive experience in both inflammatory acne and post-acne scarring. For active acne, the clinic provides medical prescriptions (topicals, antibiotics, isotretinoin) alongside in-office procedures to accelerate clearance. Chemical peels (SGD 250 per session) using salicylic acid or glycolic acid unclog pores and reduce comedonal and inflammatory lesions. BBL (BroadBand Light) and PICO laser treatments address residual redness and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. For acne scarring, the clinic offers a multi-modality approach: TCA CROSS (trichloroacetic acid cross-linked spot treatment) for ice-pick scars at SGD 350–500, fractional CO2 laser resurfacing (SGD 700 per session) for rolling and boxcar scars, PICO laser (SGD 650) for textural improvement, and RF microneedling (Morpheus8-type) for dermal remodelling. Laser-assisted drug delivery (LADD) can enhance topical penetration following laser treatment. The clinic's dermatologist-led approach ensures prescriptions and procedural protocols are tailored to skin type, scar subtype, and acne severity — avoiding the trial-and-error common at non-specialist aesthetic clinics. A combined medical and procedural approach is standard for moderate-to-severe cases, with treatment plans reviewed at each follow-up consultation.
