Acne Facials in Singapore
Acne Facials in Singapore have always been a constant. Due to Singapore’s harsh sunlight and humidity, people living in Singapore were always prone to acne outbreaks. Acne develops when sebum and dead skin cells plug the hair follicles on your skin. Sebum is an oily substance that lubricates your skin and hair. When there is a build-up of sebum and dead skin cells plugging the hair follicles, bacteria can trigger inflammation and infection resulting in severe acne. Of course, harsh weather is not the only cause of acne. Some people are more prone to acne due to genetics inherited from family members, while others have skin that is more sensitive to different fabrics. Lifestyle habits also greatly affect the frequency and severity of breakouts. If a person has an unhealthy diet filled with junk and heavily processed food could affect hormone levels, in turn, altering other hormones that could affect the skin’s condition. Smoking is another lifestyle choice that damages and ages the skin.
Different types of Acne
When it comes to acne there are different symptoms you can spot before it gets too severe. Whiteheads are closed plugged pores while Blackheads are open plugged pores. When you see small red bumps that are tender to the touch those are known as papules. Pimples, or pustules, are papules with pus at their tips. Larger, solid and painful-to-touch lumps are known as nodules. While pus-filled lumps under the skin that are painful are known as cystic lesions.
Home remedies for Acne
Of course, there are many treatment methods available for acne. Jojoba oil and tea tree oil for example would help to reduce the swelling and redness of pimples because of their anti-inflammatory properties. Honey has been used for thousands of years to treat skin conditions because of its many antioxidants that help to clear clogged pores. To speed up the results of home remedies, we could avoid touching pimples as it might further irritate the skin. A rupture would be the last thing you want as it could introduce new bacteria and the pimple will come back worse than before. It is also important to stay hydrated and reduce stress when dealing with pimples.

Your skin will be cleansed to remove excess dirt and debris. A dermaroller is then used alongside PDRN/Calecim stem cells to improve skin texture and elasticity and promote skin healing.

Yes and no. Acne scars occur when healthy tissue is damaged and replaced with fibrous tissue. This is the result of picking and squeezing and can take some time for them to heal. Acne scars can fade in colour over time just like stretch marks. However, the indentations formed can remain.
Acne on the face can occur in different areas.
- Acne around your hairline could indicate you need to change your hair care product.
- Acne on your forehead or nose is from excess oil left over the course of a day. It is important to wash and cleanse your face daily.
- Acne on your cheeks could indicate that your pillowcases and your phone have to be cleaned/washed because of bacteria buildup from repeated use.
- Acne along your jawline or chin indicates an overproduction of oil from your oil glands in those areas.
This topic differs between individuals as the severity of the outbreak does impact their decision. We would recommend trying OTC medication, oral or topical, to try to calm your breakouts. If that isn’t working for you, we will be happy to help you with your acne concerns.
