Adults over the age of 25 still suffer from acne, in one form or another.
Acne Treatment
If you have acne, don’t wait until it gets worse before you see a dermatologist! The primary objective of seeking early acne treatment is to stop the outbreak and prevent it from forming scars.

Are You Depressed And Embarrassed By Your Acne?
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!
If you have acne, don’t wait until it gets worse before you see a dermatologist!
- The primary objective of seeking early acne treatment is to stop the outbreak and prevent it from forming scars.
- Prevention is recommended because it is easier, less expensive, and less time-consuming to prevent a breakout than to deal with acne scar removal.
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.
How do you get acne?
Overproduction of sebum from the oil glands.
Formation of white and blackheads due to blockages at the pore of the oil gland.
Bacteria grow easily in these blocked glands leading to inflammation, redness, swelling and pus!
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.
Why should you see a Dermatologist?
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.
Consult a dermatologist if:
-
You are not sure if the spots on your face are acne
-
Self-medication and home remedies did not work and your acne is worsening
-
Your self-esteem is affected and you are upset or depressed about it
-
You have an irregular period, increase facial hairs and weight problems along with acne
What Treatment Will Dr Wong Recommend?
Mild Acne
Exfoliation to clear the whiteheads and blackheads and to stop the acne zits from appearing is the main objective.
Helios Carbon Acne Laser Peel
This is a soft acne laser peel to remove dead skin cells and deeply cleanse the pores to control outbreaks. In addition to controlling the outbreak, the heat generated from the laser also improves the skin pores and rejuvenates the skin.
Stellar M22 OPT Acne Treatment
Stellar M22 OPT treatment delivers a powerful and targeted blue light beam to kill the bacteria in the acne. It is especially ideal for pregnant ladies, patients with multiple antibiotic allergies, and patients with sensitive facial skin intolerant to topical medications.
Dermatologist Skincare Products
Specially formulated and selected by Dr Wong to effectively control and to clear mild acne.
Moderate Acne
Eradicating the bacteria and controlling the inflammation is the main objective.
Oral medications and acne creams
After considering his patient’s treatment history and preference, Dr Wong will choose the most appropriate antibiotics and acne creams to control the pimple outbreak. He will offer you a variety of options to fit your budget and make it affordable for you.
Helios Acne Laser Toning
Helios Acne Laser Toning is able to lighten and reduce the acne marks and give one a bright and clean face. Combining this laser treatment with oral medication often produces excellent results.
Severe Acne
Oral Isotretinoin is an excellent treatment against severe acne, especially those with challenging acne and patients who have failed treatments with oral antibiotics and topical therapy. In female patients, contraception is required because of its serious side effects to the fetus.
It is highly effective and it prevents scarring. Patients with high risk of permanent scarring or chronic relapsing acne and with severe psychological distress should be started on this treatment. Combining oral isotretinoin with Helios acne laser toning often produces excellent results.

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.
Benefits of Acne Treatment
-
Reduced risk of scarring
Professional intervention helps prevent the formation of permanent acne scars by addressing inflammation early.
-
Improved skin texture
Treatment addresses both active acne and the rough, uneven texture that often accompanies chronic breakouts.
-
Reduced post-inflammatory marks
Professional treatments can help fade dark spots and discolouration left behind by previous breakouts.
What to Expect from Acne Treatment in Singapore
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.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I continue using my current skincare products during acne treatment?
You may need to temporarily stop or reduce certain products, particularly those containing acids or strong active ingredients.
Will my skin get worse after acne treatment before it gets better?
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.
Can teenagers and adults receive the same acne treatments?
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.
Why choose acne treatment in Singapore instead of home remedies?
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.
