Why Adults Get Acne

Adult acne is more common than you think. In fact, nearly 50% of women and 25% of men over 25 experience some form of acne.

Common Causes of Adult Acne:

  • Hormonal changes (e.g., menstruation, pregnancy, PCOS)

  • Stress-induced cortisol that increases oil production

  • Using comedogenic makeup or skincare

  • Poor diet and lifestyle habits

  • Gut and digestive imbalances


 

Debunking Acne Myths

Myth 1: Acne only affects oily skin
✅ Truth: Dry and combination skin types also experience acne.

Myth 2: Washing your face more often will solve acne
✅ Truth: Over-cleansing can damage your skin barrier and make acne worse.

Myth 3: Acne will go away on its own
✅ Truth: Untreated acne often leads to scars and recurring breakouts.


 

Best Acne Treatments in KL & PJ for Adults

At NextMed Clinic, we provide doctor-supervised acne treatment in KL and PJ using a combination of science-based methods and advanced technology.

1. Acne Laser Therapy

Laser treatments such as carbon laser or dual yellow laser target acne bacteria, reduce oil, and calm inflammation. Ideal for stubborn adult acne.

2. Medical-Grade Chemical Peels

These help exfoliate clogged pores, fade dark spots, and improve skin texture — tailored for sensitive or mature skin.

3. Prescription Medication

We may prescribe oral or topical antibiotics, retinoids, or hormone regulators depending on your acne severity and skin type.

4. Enlivefacial + LED Combo

Gentle deep-cleaning facials combined with anti-bacterial blue light therapy reduce breakouts and restore glow — great for working professionals with mild to moderate acne.

5. Acne Scar Treatments

We also offer microneedling, laser resurfacing, and subcision to improve acne scars and boost collagen.
