You are not alone. Around 85% of people between the ages of 12 to 25 suffer from different kinds of acne. In fact, acne breakouts do not only happen in your teenage years! Even when you are in your late twenties or thirties, you can still suffer from “adult acne”. In most cases, if not properly treated, acne can leave permanent scars on your skin.
With over 30 years of medical experience, Dermatologist Dr Wong Soon Tee has treated many patients with all kinds of acne – from mild to severe. Many parents brought their teenage children to see him, and quite a few regretted not seeking acne treatment earlier!

Applying his experience and evidence-based approach, Dr. Wong will help you fight acne, so you can enjoy clear and healthy skin without the scarring.
Before you notice it, an outbreak of acne is starting on your face, neck, shoulder and back. The non-inflammatory acne consists mainly of whiteheads and blackheads and these will not cause scarring. Inflammatory acne consists of red bumps, painful pus bumps and cysts, which often lead to acne scars.
Dr Wong is an accredited dermatologist in Singapore for more than 30 years and is, therefore, an expert in the treatment of medical and cosmetic skin problems, and of course, acne. Thus, seeking his help is indeed a smart move to improve the appearance of your skin.
Exfoliation to clear the whiteheads and blackheads and to stop the acne zits from appearing is the main objective.

Acne is very common and many people try to self-medicate. When self- medication is not effective, it is important to consult a Dermatologist to help sort out your acne problem.
Professional intervention helps prevent the formation of permanent acne scars by addressing inflammation early.
Treatment addresses both active acne and the rough, uneven texture that often accompanies chronic breakouts.
Professional treatments can help fade dark spots and discolouration left behind by previous breakouts.
Most acne treatments are well-tolerated and tailored to your skin’s condition and sensitivity. As your skin adjusts to treatment, it is normal to experience temporary changes such as mild dryness, slight peeling, or increased sensitivity to sunlight—especially when using topical retinoids or undergoing procedures like chemical peels. Dr Wong will guide you through each stage of the treatment, adjust your regimen as needed, and provide support to ensure the best possible results for your skin.
You may need to temporarily stop or reduce certain products, particularly those containing acids or strong active ingredients.
Some patients experience an initial increase in breakouts during the first few weeks of treatment as the skin purges blocked pores. This temporary reaction typically settles within 4-6 weeks as your skin adjusts to the new treatment regimen.
Treatment approaches may differ based on age, skin sensitivity, and hormonal factors. Teenagers often respond well to topical treatments, while adult acne may require different strategies including hormonal considerations.
Evidence-based treatment plans are provided and tailored to your skin type and acne severity. Professional care reduces the risk of scarring, antibiotic resistance, and ineffective over-the-counter routines.
