Acne treatment — how we actually approach it
Acne is a medical condition, not just a cosmetic one. The breakouts you see are the visible end of a chain that starts with overactive sebaceous glands and bacterial colonisation deep in the follicle. Treating only the visible breakout — the standard beauty-room approach — gives short-term relief without addressing the cause. At Skin Essentials we treat acne medically: Dr. JC Hers assesses your skin type, breakout pattern, and lifestyle triggers before recommending a course.
For mild to moderate acne, the tools are chemical peels (salicylic, glycolic, mandelic — chosen by skin type), medical-grade facials, and topical prescription medication where indicated. For moderate to severe acne, we add laser treatments and, when the case warrants it, oral medication under medical supervision. Active cystic acne usually responds within 6–8 weeks of a structured course; post-acne pigmentation and shallow scarring take a separate follow-up plan involving brightening peels and resurfacing lasers.
Pricing starts at ₱2,000 for a session and scales by treatment type. There's no "today only" package; we'll quote you a course at the consultation, and you can do the full course or stop after the first session, no penalty. If you have deeper acne scarring left over from previous breakouts, the resurfacing-laser side of our anti-ageing treatments often pairs with acne care to handle both at once. The free consultation is the fastest way to get a realistic timeline for your specific skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long until I see results?
Initial improvement in 2-3 weeks. Full clearance typically takes 8-12 weeks with consistent treatment. Severe acne may need 6 months.
Will my acne come back?
Maintenance is key. After clearing, monthly facials and home skincare prevent recurrence. Hormonal acne may require ongoing management.
What causes adult acne?
Hormones (especially PCOS), stress, diet (dairy/sugar), skincare products (comedogenic ingredients), and genetics.
Can you remove acne scars?
Yes, with CO2 laser resurfacing, microneedling, or subcision. Scars require 3-6 sessions. Best to treat active acne first.
Is chemical peel safe for dark skin?
YES, when done by experts. We use gentle AHA/BHA peels at proper concentrations to avoid hyperpigmentation risks.
What should I avoid during treatment?
Sun exposure, picking/popping pimples, harsh scrubs, oil-based products, and dairy/sugar (if diet-sensitive).
