What Is Acne?
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil (sebum) and dead skin cells. It typically appears on the face, chest, back, and shoulders. Acne ranges from mild blackheads and whiteheads to inflamed cysts and nodules. While most common in teenagers, adult acne affects many people well into their 30s, 40s, and beyond.
Acne is not dangerous, but it can cause permanent scarring and significant emotional distress. Professional treatment is the most effective way to clear acne and prevent scarring.
Who Gets Acne?
Acne affects nearly everyone at some point in life. It is most common during adolescence due to hormonal changes, but adult acne is increasingly prevalent. Factors that contribute to acne include:
- Hormones: Androgens increase sebum production. Hormonal changes during menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause can trigger acne.
- Genetics: If your parents had acne, you are more likely to develop it.
- Stress: Stress increases cortisol levels, which can worsen acne.
- Skincare products: Comedogenic (pore-clogging) products can cause breakouts.
- Diet: High-glycaemic foods and dairy may trigger acne in some people.

Pain & Discomfort Level
Most acne treatments are painless. Topical applications may cause mild tingling or dryness initially. Laser therapy may cause a mild snapping sensation on the skin. Chemical peels cause a warm or tingling sensation during application. Extraction of blackheads and whiteheads may cause brief discomfort. Overall, most patients find acne treatments at Lovina Clinic comfortable and well-tolerated.
Healing & Results Timeline
Acne treatment takes time. Most patients see noticeable improvement within 4 to 6 weeks of starting treatment. Full clearance may take 3 to 6 months depending on severity. Consistency is key — follow your treatment plan as prescribed, attend follow-up appointments, and be patient. Acne scars require additional treatments and more time to improve.
Cost of Acne Treatment in Malaysia
