Common Questions
Frequently Asked
What is the best acne treatment in BGC?
The best acne treatment depends on your acne type and severity. AUREA BGC provides personalized protocols including medical-grade topicals, chemical peels, LED blue light therapy, oral medications when needed, and scar revision. Our board-certified dermatologists diagnose the root cause rather than treating symptoms alone.
How long does it take to clear acne?
Mild acne typically improves within 6-8 weeks of consistent treatment. Moderate acne may require 3-4 months. Severe or cystic acne can take 4-6 months with oral medications. AUREA BGC provides realistic timelines and supports you through the treatment journey with regular follow-ups.
Should I pop my pimples?
No. Popping pimples at home pushes bacteria deeper, causes scarring, and creates post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation - particularly problematic for Filipino skin. AUREA BGC offers medical extraction performed by trained professionals using sterile instruments. For urgent cases, cortisone injections flatten cystic pimples within 24-48 hours.
What causes adult acne?
Adult acne is often hormonal (fluctuations in androgens), stress-related (cortisol increases oil production), or due to skincare products that clog pores. At AUREA BGC, we investigate the specific triggers affecting your skin and design targeted protocols rather than generic treatments.
Can acne scars be removed?
Acne scars can be significantly improved, though complete removal is not always possible. AUREA BGC uses Pico Laser, microneedling, Rejuran, and fractional resurfacing for scar revision. Most clients see 50-70% improvement after 3-5 sessions. The key is beginning treatment early before scars mature.
Is acne treatment safe during pregnancy?
Many acne treatments are contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding, including retinoids and certain oral medications. AUREA BGC provides safe alternatives during this period - typically gentle topical agents, medical facials, and lifestyle guidance. Post-treatment can resume after breastfeeding concludes.
Will my diet affect my acne?
Research shows that high-glycemic foods and dairy may worsen acne in some individuals. AUREA BGC discusses dietary factors during consultation and may recommend nutritional adjustments alongside medical treatment. However, diet alone rarely resolves moderate to severe acne without medical intervention.
How much does acne treatment cost at AUREA BGC?
AUREA BGC acne treatment: initial consultation (₱5,000, credited toward treatment), topical protocol (₱8,000-₱15,000 monthly), chemical peel (₱8,000-₱15,000), LED therapy (₱5,000), comprehensive 3-month program (₱45,000-₱80,000). Scar revision is priced separately based on treatment type.
