Put your best face forward with this award-winning clinic's unique skin treatments
Acne may sound minor when compared to other ailments or illnesses, but according to Dr Gerard Ee, The Clifford Clinic’s medical director, adult acne can be difficult or complicated to treat. Furthermore, he adds, acne cannot be cured with over-the-counter products. “While these may temporarily improve acne conditions, it rarely addresses the root cause of the problem,” says Dr Ee.
This is why The Clifford Clinic has curated some of the best acne treatments in the industry. These are designed to address active acne conditions, but patients who face acne complications such as scarring and spots can opt for scar removal procedures, too. This gives patients a one-stop solution for their acne problems.

The most popular procedure for active acne cases is Agnes. A collaborative effort between Japanese scientists and a Korean dermatologist, the Agnes procedure treats problematic pores on your face to minimise acne breakouts.
“When researchers in Japan used digital mapping on the skin, they found that pores that were repeatedly being blocked were responsible for up to 90 per cent of the acne on your face,” explains Dr Chow Yuen Ho, who is also the clinic’s medical director. “Once the pores were treated with Agnes, the acne did not reoccur for at least a couple of years after the last treatment.”
