Why Acne and Rosacea needs real treatment?

Acne and Rosacea are medical conditions. Not just a skin phase

Acne and Rosacea are one of the most common skin concerns. Acne is mainly affecting teenagers and young adults, while Rosacea is common among the middle ages. The causes of acne range from stress, hormonal, diet and cosmetics. It may also develop as a side effect of a certain skin products or oral medications. Left untreated, Acne Vulgaris can progress to Cystic Acne, Nodular Acne, or permanent Acne scars. At Dr. Asher’s clinic, every patient receives a proper diagnosis before any treatment plan, since acne prone skin deserves more than home remedies.

Variety of treatments to choose from

Acne and Rosacea treatments at Dr Asher’s clinic

Professor Dr. Asher Ahmed Mashhood personally assesses your skin and advises the Acne and Rosacea treatments best suited to your problem type, skin tone, and history using advanced dermatological equipment.

01

Chemical peel

Customized chemical peels for Acne can gently exfoliate the outer layers of damaged skin to treat the inflammatory and comedonal acne.

Procedure time: 10 minutes
Recovery time: 2–3 days

02

HydraFacial

HydraFacial is a deep-cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating treatment to unclog pores, remove blackheads and whiteheads, and leave the skin refreshed and rejuvenated.

Procedure time: 30-40 minutes
Recovery time: None

03

PRP microneedling

Uses your own blood to prepare platelet rich plasma, that is combined with micro needling to boost collagen production, and improve Acne scars. This is a natural and effective alternative to CO₂ laser. This mode of treatment can cure mild acne scarring after a few sessions.

Procedure time: 30-45 minutes
Recovery time: 2-3 Days

04

Subcision

Subcision is an effective treatment for rolling, icepick, and tethered Acne scars, releasing fibrous bands that pull the scars downward. It stimulates collagen remodeling, gradually improving scar depth and overall skin texture.

Procedure time: 10–15 minutes
Recovery time: 1 day

05

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) fractional laser resurfacing

It helps improve atrophic Acne scars by stimulating collagen production and remodeling. It can reduce scar depth, smooth uneven texture, and improve overall skin quality. Multiple sessions can help minimize the risk of post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation, particularly in darker skin tones.

Procedure time: 15-20 minutes
Recovery time: 5-7 days

06

Microneedling radiofrequency device (Vivace)

Vivace microneedling radiofrequency (MNRF) improves atrophic Acne scars by delivering controlled RF energy into the dermis, stimulating collagen and elastin remodeling. It improves scar depth, skin texture, and firmness, with relatively low downtime and a favorable safety profile in darker skin types.

Procedure time: 15-20 minutes
Recovery time: 2 days

07

Carbon Laser Facial

Carbon Laser Facial is a quick, non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that combines a liquid carbon mask with laser technology to exfoliate the skin, deeply cleanse pores, and help reduce inflammation for a smoother, refreshed appearance.

Procedure time: 20–30 minutes
Recovery time: None

08

Oral and topical medication

Prescription creams, gels, and oral medicines tailored to your acne type, severity, and skin tone. Dr. Asher selects the right combination to control breakouts, reduce redness, and prevent scarring, often alongside in-clinic procedures for the best results.

Procedure time: Consultation-based
Recovery time: None

A very comfortable and welcoming environment where patients feel at ease. Dr. Asher is highly experienced in every aspect; both clinical and aesthetic, ensuring expert care tailored to your needs. Despite the high level of expertise offered, the prices remain among the most affordable in the market, and a consultation fee of just 2000 is truly minimal for the quality of care you receive.

Their treatment is excellent. I visited about four months ago when my hair had thinned a lot and baldness had started, but now my baby hairs have started growing back — and that too just with medicine. I was considering getting PRP, but I didn’t even need it. I was a bit disappointed with their management though. There’s no pre-appointment system, so you have to go there and wait for your turn. Dr. Asher himself is quite talkative — sometimes he’s chatting with friends or discussing things with his students while patients are waiting. So, the waiting time can get long. Still, I’d give them a full 5-star rating because I got the results I wanted, and I hope their management improves with time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, or deeper cysts. In Urdu, Acne is often referred to as “keel muhasay.” Medically, this condition is called Acne Vulgaris — the most common form of Acne, affecting the face, forehead, chest, and back.

Acne Vulgaris is the clinical term for common acne. It ranges from mild acne vulgaris — a few blackheads or whiteheads — to severe Acne Vulgaris involving deep, inflamed cysts and nodules. Common Acne Vulgaris symptoms include comedones, red inflamed bumps, whiteheads, and in more advanced stages, painful cystic lesions that can lead to scarring if untreated.

The causes of Acne include excess oil production, clogged pores, hormonal changes (hormonal acne), bacteria, genetics, certain medications, and skincare or cosmetic products (induced acne). Hot and humid weather, pollution and excessive sweating in the face can also aggravate Acne in the Acne prone skin.

Acne types include comedonal Acne (blackheads and whiteheads), Cystic Acne (deep, painful cysts), Nodular Acne (firm lumps beneath the skin), Fungal Acne (caused by yeast overgrowth, often on the trunk), and hormonal or late-onset Acne in adults. Each Acne type requires a different treatment approach.

Mild or moderate acne can be treated without causing any scarring. The treatment must be from a qualified dermatologist. Cystic Acne is actually a severe form of acne, causing deep, inflamed, pus-filled cysts. It’s more likely to cause Acne scars and typically needs prescription-based dermatological treatment for 3 to 6 months.

Mild acne can improve with home remedies, but if acne is moderately severe it requires dermatological consultation and prescription medications.

Acne scarring is a difficult condition to treat. There are 2 types of acne scars. Hypertrophic and atrophic. Hypertrophic scars require a few sessions of intralesional steroid injections. Atrophic acne scars are of further 3 types, icepick, box or rolling scars. Rolling scars are better responsive to all the scar treatments, while box and ice pick scars are difficult to treat and requires multiple treatment.

Rosacea causes persistent facial redness, visible blood vessels, and bumps, often triggered by heat, spicy food, or sun exposure. It usually occurs in persons with fair complexion. Patients can develop rosacea after the use of steroid or mercury containing creams. This is called Induced Rosacea. The disease needs prolonged treatment. The redness can improve by vascular lasers like PDL and IPL which are available at Dr Asher’s clinic. Get Acne and Rosacea Treatment today at Dr. Asher’s Aesthetics.
