Active face acne
The priority is to reduce new breakouts and inflammation so the skin can stop creating new marks.
A staged approach to active facial acne, acne marks, acne pigmentation and textural scars. Dr. Faraah assesses what is active, what is pigment and what is structural before recommending treatment.
Acne, flat marks and pitted scars are related, but they are not the same problem.
Acne, flat marks and pitted scars are related, but they are not the same problem.
Active breakouts are usually addressed first because new lesions can leave new marks and scars. Once the inflammatory phase is better controlled, the remaining pigmentation and texture can be treated more precisely.
Depending on the concern, the plan may include medical skincare, peels, laser toning, microneedling, fractional treatments, PRP, GFC or exosomes. The exact combination depends on the skin and diagnosis.

Flat brown or red marks are treated differently from indented scars. Sun protection and a suitable skincare routine are part of the plan.
Rolling, boxcar and ice-pick scars often need different approaches. The goal is improvement and blending, not a promise of completely scar-free skin.
Once the main course is done, the focus shifts to keeping breakouts controlled and reducing the chance of new marks.
Sometimes the phases overlap, but active breakouts are usually controlled first. Aggressive scar work is often delayed until the skin is more stable.
Marks are usually flat colour changes left after a spot heals. Scars change the surface structure of the skin, such as rolling, boxcar or ice-pick scars, and they need a different treatment approach.
If acne has left brown or red marks, the plan may include pigmentation-focused care such as suitable skincare, peels or laser toning. The exact treatment is chosen after assessment.
There is no universal number. Active acne, marks and scars respond at different rates, and the clinic reviews progress before recommending additional sessions.
Cost depends on whether the main concern is active acne, pigmentation, scars or a combination. The plan and price are explained before treatment begins.
