Acne is a skin condition where pores get blocked with oil and dead skin, then become inflamed. Four things drive it: too much oil, pores that shed skin unevenly, acne bacteria growing in the blocked pore, and inflammation. Hormones, stress, some medicines, heavy skincare and Dubai’s heat and humidity can all make it worse.
Acne is not one thing. Blackheads and whiteheads are mild. Red, sore spots and pustules are inflamed acne. Deep, painful lumps under the skin are nodules and cysts, and these are the most likely to scar. Hormonal acne often sits on the jawline and chin and flares with your cycle. Mild acne often responds to in-clinic care and a good routine. Cystic acne treatment and stubborn hormonal acne treatment usually need a doctor, and sometimes prescription medicine.

Is it painful? | Mild for most people. Extractions can feel uncomfortable, peels may sting for a few minutes, and IPL feels like a quick snap of heat. |
|---|---|
Is there any downtime? | Usually little or none. Facials leave mild redness for a few hours. Peels can cause 1–3 days of dryness or flaking. |
How many sessions needed? | Depends on your acne. Facials and peels are usually done as a course, often 4–6 sessions about 2–4 weeks apart. Prescription treatment runs for several months. |
When can I see the result? | Skin often looks calmer within 1–2 weeks. Acne usually needs 6–12 weeks of steady treatment to clearly improve. |
How long does the procedure take? | Depends on the treatment. Most sessions take 30–60 minutes. The acne facial takes about 60 minutes. |
Acne Facial
A medical facial with deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation, extractions and calming masks. It suits active breakouts, blackheads and congestion, but not severe cystic acne on its own.
Chemical Peels (Face and Back)
A peel loosens dead skin inside pores and helps control oil and breakouts. It can be used on the face and on the back for back acne and acne marks.
PHformula Resurfacing
A clinical resurfacing treatment that works on oil, uneven texture and post-acne marks with less irritation than some peels. It is often used once inflamed acne is calmer.
IPL Photo Rejuvenation
Pulses of light target redness and acne bacteria in the skin. It may help calm active acne and acne redness as part of a wider plan, not as a stand-alone cure.
HydraFacial
Suction cleansing and hydration clear blocked pores without harsh scrubbing. It works well for congestion and for keeping skin clear between other treatments.

Doctor Consultation and Skin Assessment
A doctor looks at your skin, the type of spots you have and where they appear. You will be asked about your cycle, stress, medicines and what you have already tried. If your acne may have a hormonal or medical cause, the doctor explains the next steps.
Your Treatment Plan
The doctor explains which treatments suit your acne and in what order. Mild acne may need in-clinic care and a home routine. Moderate or severe acne may also need prescription medicine or a referral.
Calming Active Breakouts
In-clinic sessions such as an acne facial, peel or IPL start to clear congestion and calm redness. Your skin is never squeezed hard, as this can push infection deeper and cause scars.
Home Routine and Aftercare
You get a simple routine to use between visits: a gentle cleanser, the right active ingredients and daily sunscreen. Using it every day matters as much as the clinic sessions.
Follow-Up and Maintenance
The doctor reviews your skin every few weeks and adjusts the plan. Once acne is under control, you move to fewer visits, and leftover marks or scars can be treated.
A doctor checks your acne type, triggers and severity.
Get a mix of in-clinic acne removal treatment and home care that fits your skin.
Calmer, clearer skin that improves over the following weeks.

There is no single best acne treatment, because it depends on your acne type and how severe it is. Mild acne often improves with facials, peels and the right home routine. Moderate, cystic or hormonal acne usually needs a doctor and sometimes prescription medicine. The best acne treatment in Dubai for adults is the one matched to the cause, not the strongest one.
Yes, if your acne is painful, leaves marks or scars, or has not improved after 2–3 months of good skincare. A dermatologist or doctor can tell acne apart from look-alikes such as rosacea or fungal acne, and can prescribe medicine when needed. Roxana Aesthetics has a dermatologist on the clinic team.
Cystic acne needs a doctor, because facials and peels alone will not clear it. Cysts are deep and can scar, so the doctor may prescribe medicine such as antibiotics, hormonal treatment or isotretinoin. Isotretinoin is a strong medicine that needs regular checks, blood tests and strict pregnancy prevention. Never squeeze cysts, as this raises the risk of scarring.
Hormonal acne often needs medical assessment as well as skin treatment. It usually shows on the jawline and chin and flares before periods. The doctor may check for a cause such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and may suggest hormonal treatment, while peels or facials help calm the skin.
Back and body acne is treated much like face acne, with peels, the right wash and, if needed, medicine. A body chemical peel can help clear blocked pores and fade marks on the back. Sweat, tight clothes and heavy creams can make it worse in Dubai’s heat.
Light treatment can help, but it works best as part of a plan, not on its own. IPL, which uses light rather than a laser, can calm acne redness and may reduce acne bacteria. Lasers such as Frax Pro are mainly used later, to treat acne scars once breakouts are under control.
An acne treatment facial is better for clearing congestion, while a peel is better for oil control and marks. A facial cleans pores and removes blackheads by hand. A peel works deeper on the dead skin that keeps pores blocked. Many plans use both. See the acne facial page.
Fungal acne is not true acne. It is an infection of the hair follicles caused by yeast. It shows as small, itchy bumps of the same size, often on the forehead, chest or back, and it is common in hot, humid weather. Normal acne products do not clear it, so fungal acne treatment uses antifungal products after a doctor confirms it.
Yes, but the options are limited. Some acne medicines, including isotretinoin and certain antibiotics and retinoids, are not safe in pregnancy. Gentle facials and a simple routine are often still possible. Always tell the doctor if you are pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding.
It can, because acne is managed, not cured. Treatment can bring breakouts under good control, often for long periods. Hormones, stress, heat and new skincare can trigger flares, so a home routine and the odd maintenance visit help.
