What is the acne treatment programme?
Acne has several causes, so a single treatment rarely solves it. This programme starts with an assessment, then combines suitable options such as peels, extractions and light-based treatment with a realistic home routine. Moderate to severe acne may need a referral to a dermatologist for prescription treatment.

Frequently asked questions
Do you prescribe acne medication?
Prescriptions can only be issued by a licensed physician after consultation, where clinically appropriate.
What causes adult acne?
Adult acne is common, especially in women in their twenties to forties. Hormonal changes, blocked pores, bacteria, stress, some medications and heavy skincare can all play a part. A dermatologist looks at the pattern of breakouts, your history and your routine to decide which acne treatment fits.
How long does acne treatment take to work?
Most acne treatments take six to twelve weeks to show clear improvement, because skin needs time to renew. The Luméra acne treatment programme reviews you every four to six weeks over three to six months. Flares can still happen, and a maintenance plan helps keep skin clear.
How much does acne treatment cost in Dubai?
At Luméra Clinic, the acne treatment programme starts with a dermatology consultation, then in-clinic visits from AED 450 each, such as peels or extractions. Prescription medicines, if needed, are priced separately. Your dermatologist gives you a written plan with costs after the first visit.
