AUREA BGC — Medical Dermatology Protocols
Acne Treatment
Board-certified acne management for active breakouts, hormonal acne, and acne prevention in BGC.
Treatment Overview
Acne treatment at AUREA BGC is medical dermatology - not spa aesthetics. Our board-certified dermatologists treat acne as the inflammatory skin disease it is, using evidence-based protocols that address the four pillars of acne: excess oil, clogged pores, bacterial overgrowth, and inflammation.
We understand the emotional toll of persistent acne. Our consultations are unhurried and compassionate. We explain the science behind your breakouts, identify triggers, and design a protocol that fits your lifestyle. For severe or cystic cases, we collaborate with endocrinologists when hormones are involved.
For clients in BGC and Manila struggling with acne that has resisted drugstore solutions, AUREA provides the medical authority and personalized care that produces lasting clearance.

The Experience
What to Expect
Comprehensive Assessment: Your dermatologist examines acne type, severity, distribution, and scarring risk. We discuss onset, triggers, previous treatments, and lifestyle factors. Hormonal evaluation may be recommended.
Protocol Design: Based on severity, protocols range from topical medical skincare (mild) to oral medications (moderate-severe). Chemical peels, extractions, and LED therapy complement medical treatment.
Treatment Phase: Active protocols typically show improvement at 4-8 weeks. We schedule follow-ups every 4 weeks to assess progress and adjust treatment. Compliance is essential.
Scar Prevention: Early intervention prevents scarring. For existing scars, we begin revision protocols once active acne is controlled - typically using Pico Laser, microneedling, or Rejuran.
Maintenance: Once clear, a maintenance protocol prevents recurrence. This includes medical skincare, quarterly in-clinic treatments, and trigger management.

Medical Safety Standards
Safety Without Compromise
Acne treatment at AUREA BGC is medical dermatology requiring proper diagnosis before intervention. Our board-certified dermatologists perform comprehensive health screening before prescribing oral medications. All extraction and peel protocols use sterile technique to prevent infection and scarring — particularly critical for Filipino skin prone to PIH.
Medical Diagnosis First
Proper acne type diagnosis ensures correct treatment. Not all acne responds to the same protocols.
Pregnancy & Medication Screening
Oral acne medications require thorough screening for pregnancy, liver function, and drug interactions.
Scar Prevention Protocols
Early, correct intervention prevents the scarring and dark marks that are hardest to treat in Asian skin.
Board-Certified Only
Acne treatment at AUREA is supervised exclusively by Philippine Board of Dermatology-certified physicians.
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery & Aftercare
Acne treatment recovery varies by protocol. Topical treatments may cause temporary dryness. Chemical peels cause mild flaking. LED therapy has no downtime. Your dermatologist provides specific guidance for your protocol.
Topical protocols begin at home. In-clinic treatments may cause mild warmth or tingling. Soothing products applied.
Possible initial adjustment period — mild dryness or temporary flare-up as skin adapts. This is normal and temporary.
Visible clearing begins with medical treatment. Inflammatory lesions reduce. Skin texture starts improving.
Significant improvement for most cases. Active acne controlled. Focus shifts to scar prevention and maintenance.
Maintenance prevents recurrence. Medical skincare, quarterly treatments, and trigger management keep skin clear long-term.

Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked
Is my acne hormonal?
Hormonal acne typically appears along the jawline and chin, flares before menstruation, and is resistant to topical treatments alone. AUREA BGC dermatologists assess hormonal patterns and may recommend endocrine evaluation or hormonal therapy in addition to skin treatment.
How long until acne treatment works?
Topical treatments require 6-8 weeks for visible improvement. Oral medications show faster results - 4-6 weeks for antibiotics, 2-3 months for isotretinoin. AUREA BGC provides realistic timelines and supports you through the initial adjustment period.
Will acne medication damage my skin?
Medical acne treatments may cause temporary dryness, sensitivity, or purging. AUREA BGC provides supporting skincare to minimize side effects and adjusts protocols if irritation occurs. The goal is clear skin with healthy skin.
Can I treat acne scars while I still have active acne?
We typically control active acne before beginning scar revision. Treating scars on actively breaking out skin can cause infection and worsen inflammation. AUREA BGC sequences your protocol for safety and optimal outcomes.
Will my acne come back after treatment?
Acne is a chronic condition. Without maintenance, recurrence is likely. AUREA BGC designs long-term maintenance protocols including medical skincare, quarterly treatments, and trigger management to keep your skin clear.
