FAQs

Can diet affect acne?

Yes. Certain foods can improve or worsen acne in some individuals, though the evidence on individual foods varies.

How quickly will I see results?

Results typically take weeks to months depending on adherence to lifestyle measures. We adjust the treatment plan accordingly at follow-up appointments.

Can scarring be prevented?

With earlier intervention and by avoiding picking or manipulating the skin, scarring can often be prevented or minimized.
