Acne Treatment Steps at BonBoz: From Consultation to Skin Recovery

The acne treatment process at BonBoz has 3 main steps: examination, intensive treatment, and skin recovery care following a personalised protocol from your doctor.

Quick summary: Acne is a complex skin condition that requires a systematic treatment process. This article covers the 3 steps of acne treatment at BonBoz, important points to keep in mind during treatment, and how to care for your skin so results last.

Step 1: How is your skin condition examined and assessed?

Examination is the foundation of every treatment process. The doctor at BonBoz will check your type of acne (blackheads, whiteheads, inflammatory acne, or cystic acne), its severity, and look for the root cause.

This process helps the doctor determine:

• Your skin type (oily, dry, combination, sensitive)
• Your acne history and triggers
• Any dark marks and scars left from earlier acne
• Any medications or diet that may be related to your acne

With this information, the doctor will build a treatment protocol tailored to each person, rather than applying a generic one.

Key point: If you lack skincare knowledge, your acne is persistent and getting worse, you have many inflamed nodular lesions, or your dark marks and scars are increasing, you should see a doctor.

Step 2: What does intensive treatment under the protocol involve?

Once you have a specific protocol, you will begin the intensive treatment phase. The doctor will use methods suited to your skin condition to control acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and regulate sebum.

During this phase, there are important things you need to avoid for treatment to be effective:

• Avoid corticoids, iodides, birth control pills, or vitamin B12. If you are taking any of these for another condition, tell your doctor right away
• Limit sugar, high-fat foods, milk, cheese, yoghurt, and chocolate
• Avoid alcohol, cigarettes, and too much coffee
• Keep a relaxed state of mind and avoid prolonged stress
• Get enough sleep every night so your skin has time to recover on its own
• Do not use any cosmetics other than those your doctor recommends
• Use sunscreen regularly to protect your skin

This is the phase that calls for the most patience. If after about 2 weeks of treatment your inflammatory acne seems worse or your skin is strongly irritated by the medication you are using, tell your doctor right away so the plan can be adjusted.

Step 3: How is skin recovery care done?

Once your acne has improved, the recovery care phase is just as important. This is when your skin needs thorough nourishment in order to:

• Stabilise the skin
• Minimise remaining dark marks or scars
• Prevent acne from coming back

The doctor will guide you through a suitable daily care routine, including cleansing and moisturising products that are safe for your skin.

Why choose BonBoz for acne treatment?

This 3-step process was developed by Dr. Kha at BonBoz based on real treatment experience. Instead of using one formula for every patient, each person receives an individual protocol suited to their type of acne, its causes, and their specific skin condition.

This means you do not have to fall into a pattern of "trying this, trying that", and instead have a clear treatment direction from the start.

Final advice

Acne is a skin condition that takes time and patience to manage. If you are struggling with acne and want a well-structured solution, visit BonBoz for a detailed examination. The doctor will assess your skin and build the most suitable treatment protocol for you.

Frequently asked questions

How long does acne treatment at BonBoz take?

Treatment time depends on the type of acne, its severity, and how your skin responds. Some patients see improvement after a few weeks, but severe acne may need longer. The doctor will explain in more detail after the examination.

Will acne come back after treatment is finished?

Acne can come back if you return to the underlying triggers, such as eating a lot of sugar, stress, or not caring for your skin properly. That is why the recovery care phase and daily precautions are so important. The doctor will guide you on how to maintain results over the long term.

When should I start acne treatment?

The sooner the better. If you notice a lot of acne appearing or it is getting worse, do not wait. Come to BonBoz for an examination, because acne left untreated for a long time can leave scars or dark marks that are hard to treat later.

Is acne treatment painful?

The treatment methods at BonBoz are designed to minimise discomfort. The doctor will explain the process to you and make sure you feel as comfortable as possible.

Does my skin need special medication after acne treatment?

This depends on the individual. The doctor will advise on skincare products and whether you need to keep using any medication to maintain results. The goal is to give you a simple and effective daily skincare routine.

1. Do I need to avoid certain foods during acne treatment?

Diet may affect acne in some people. The doctor at BonBoz Clinic will assess your skin and overall health to give personalised advice. In general, maintaining a balanced diet rich in leafy greens and limiting processed foods, sugar, and dairy may support the treatment process.

2. Can I squeeze acne myself at home?

BonBoz Clinic advises against squeezing acne yourself at home. Squeezing acne incorrectly can damage the skin, cause infection, worsen inflammation, and leave permanent dark marks or pitted scars. For safety and effectiveness, acne extraction should be performed by a doctor or qualified specialist at the clinic using sterile instruments.
