A clinically guided protocol to clear active acne and prevent recurrence.
Overview
Acne Treatment at White Plum is a dermatologist-led program that combines medical-grade peels, targeted extractions, and prescription-strength topicals to clear active breakouts and prevent new ones from forming — going beyond generic over-the-counter routines.
Why It Works
Visibly clearer skin within the first few sessions
Reduced frequency and severity of new breakouts
A take-home routine that maintains results between visits
Lower risk of post-acne scarring with timely treatment
The Science
Your dermatologist identifies the type and root cause of your acne (hormonal, bacterial, or congestion-driven) and builds a plan combining in-clinic procedures — such as medical peels or comedone extraction — with a prescription skincare routine.
Technology
Medical-grade chemical peels,
Duration
30–45 minutes per session
Sessions
4–6 sessions, spaced 2–3 weeks apart
Recovery
No downtime — mild redness may last a few hours after a peel session
Step by Step
Consult
Skin analysis and acne-type assessment with your dermatologist.
Assess
Severity grading and identification of triggers (hormonal, bacterial, lifestyle).
Personalise
A combination plan of in-clinic procedures and home-care actives is set.
Treat
Peels, extractions, or LED therapy are performed across scheduled sessions.
Follow-up
Skin is reassessed every few weeks and the routine is fine-tuned.
Most patients see a visible reduction in active breakouts within 3 sessions, with clearer overall texture by the end of the program.
No downtime — mild redness may last a few hours after a peel session.
