What Is Acne?

Acne develops when pores become blocked with oil, dead skin cells, and inflammation. This can lead to blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, cysts, redness, and tenderness. Acne affects teenagers and adults of all genders. In many cases, breakouts can continue well beyond adolescence or begin for the first time in adulthood. Without proper treatment, acne may leave dark marks, uneven texture, or permanent scarring.

Common Causes of Acne

  • Hormonal fluctuations
  • Excess oil production
  • Clogged pores
  • Inflammation
  • Bacteria on the skin
  • Stress
  • Genetics
  • Cosmetic products
  • Dietary triggers in some individuals
  • Improper skincare routines

Acne is usually caused by multiple factors at once, which is why personalized treatment is often more successful than trial-and-error products.

We assess your skin, acne history, lifestyle, triggers, and previous treatments.

Customized Plan

Your treatment program may include skincare, medications, in-clinic treatments, or a combination approach.

Follow-Up Care

Acne treatment evolves over time. Regular follow-up allows us to adjust your plan as your skin improves.

Results Timeline

Many patients begin noticing improvement within several weeks, with continued progress over time.

How to Reduce Acne at Home

  • Wash twice daily with a gentle cleanser
  • Avoid picking or squeezing blemishes
  • Use non-comedogenic skincare and makeup
  • Keep hair products away from the face
  • Use sunscreen daily
  • Be consistent with treatment

Home care matters, but persistent acne often requires a medical treatment plan for best results.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Love the personalized service! Everyone genuinely cares about your concerns no matter how small. I just go for acne care and they’re the best! Got rid of my stubborn adult acne without taking any pills or oral chemicals

Simran M.

I had the pleasure of visiting Healthy Skin Centre and met with Dr. Nasseri and Dal. Very knowledgeable and they took their time to educate me and make good recommendations on what I needed to do to clear my acne and treat my fine lines and wrinkles with Botox and filler. Safe and beautiful environment. I would recommend Healthy Skin Centre and look forward to my next visit.

Susan J.

It was one of the best decisions I've ever made to come to HSC. I had sudden adult acne for 18 months straight, which was painful and ruining the texture of my skin. I felt like my skin was out of control and I felt so helpless. After following Dr. Lili Nasseri's skincare plan, I saw improvements within the first month. It's almost been a year, and I feel like I've finally regained control over my skin again. I cannot thank the HSC team enough. It's such a wonderful thing that you guys do, by helping patients regain their confidence and health. I respect that very much.

At my visits, I've seen Dr. L Nasseri and Dal, and they are both friendly, respectful, and professional. Truly the best!

D. L.

I had a very nice experience visiting Healthy Skin Center in New Westminster. I saw a big difference on my face after following the routine and using the products Dal Badesha suggested for my acne skin.

Oiha H.

I had acne and ance scars on my face from past 7 to 8 years, I found HSC on google and decided to go here. I am glad that I did. From the very first appointment I started to see the difference in my skin. Today after almost 6 months of treatment, my skin is really clear. Overall it has been a wonderful experience. Everyone at HSC is great, but I would especially like to thank Dal for all her help, support and guidance. You are super awesome Dal. Keep going.

Parbhjit K.

I have been dealing with acne for more than 15 years now. I have tried everything I can to prevent acne. My family doctor told me that I might have to deal with it for the rest of my life. I was so heartbroken I almost gave up. One day I decided to see a dermatologist, and that's when I found Dr. Nasseri’s clinic. I made an appointment with the client coordinator Dal Badesha. Since I met her, my skin has changed drastically. She put together a simple skincare regime for me, according to my skin. She is so supportive and actually cares about her clients. I have a long way to go, but I’m confident that I'll have clear skin one day.
Healthy Skin Clinic is a great place to go if you have any skin problems.
