Treatments for Stubborn Acne

Stubborn Acne Care with Proven Medical Options

Acne that won’t clear can feel endless. If creams from the drugstore fail, it’s time to see a skin doctor. Radiance Clinics offers a full assessment and a treatment plan made for your skin. 

Is your acne “stubborn”?

Ask yourself: has acne lasted months despite regular care? Do you get deep nodules or cysts? Do you see new marks or scarring? If yes, get a medical review. Some forms need prescription drugs or clinic procedures. 

Treatments for Stubborn AcneKey medical options doctors use

  • Topical treatments. Retinoids and benzoyl peroxide help clear pores and reduce spots. They are first-line for many cases. Use as directed; effects take weeks. 
  • Oral antibiotics. Used short-term to calm inflamed acne. Not a long-term fix. Expect a doctor to monitor progress 
  • Hormonal therapy. For women with cyclical breakouts, some hormonal medicines help. A proper check is needed before starting. 
  • Oral isotretinoin. For severe or scarring acne this drug can work when other treatments fail. It needs close medical follow-up and pregnancy checks for women. 

Clinic procedures that help stubborn cases

Some clinic treatments speed healing or reduce scarring. Radiance Clinics offers modern options and expert care for these procedures. 

  • Chemical peels to reduce oil and clear pores.
  • Light and laser therapy to kill acne bacteria and calm inflammation.
  • Microneedling / RF to improve texture and reduce marks.
  • Targeted surgical care for big cysts or nodules.

Ask the clinic what they recommend for your skin type.

What to expect in treatment

Treatment takes time. Many prescriptions take 6–12 weeks to show clear change. Clinic procedures may need repeat sessions. Follow-up matters. Keep photos of progress. 

Simple tips that help the plan work

  • Stick to the medicine and visit. Skipping slows results.
  • Use gentle cleansers. Avoid heavy scrubs.
  • Don’t pop pimples, this can cause scars.
  • Tell your doctor about pregnancy plans before some meds.
  • Protect skin from sun after peels or lasers.

Questions to ask at your visit

  • What treatment fits my acne type?
  • How long till I see clear change?
  • Any side effects to expect?
  • Will this affect future pregnancy plans?
  • Do you offer follow-up and scar prevention?

Stubborn acne needs a medical plan. Radiance Clinics provides assessments, modern equipment and tailored care for acne and post-acne marks. Book a consult and get a clear plan  especially if acne is affecting your self confidence.
