Acne can be a challenging experience for many, impacting self-confidence and overall well-being. Having had acne myself in my teenage years, I deeply understand how skin issues can affect daily life. Growing up during Lebanon’s wartime, having clear skin felt as meaningful as a day free from shelling or achieving good grades! My own journey with acne was an important reason to pursue a career in dermatology.
Since becoming a practicing dermatologist in 1998, I have managed thousands of acne patients, witnessing the emotional toll it takes on young people navigating school, and adults unexpectedly dealing with breakouts. Throughout my career, I've prescribed a range of treatments, from topical creams and gels to oral medications like antibiotics and RoAccutane, always striving for fast, effective, and safe solutions. However, side effects of topical and oral treatments often present significant challenges, particularly in complex cases.
Over the years, I have embraced a comprehensive approach to acne that focuses on eliminating underlying causes, whether hormonal, skincare-related or dietary. I have also developed innovative therapies, including lasers and advanced devices designed to reduce inflammation and redness, providing my patients with good alternatives to long-term medications. And today, I am excited to introduce ACCURE, a groundbreaking laser treatment specifically designed to address difficult and cystic acne. For the first time in the Middle East and Gulf, we have a specific solution that targets the root cause of acne—oil glands—at our state-of-the-art Skin Experts Polyclinic in Dubai.
Why ACCURE is a Game Changer
ACCURE eliminates the need for prolonged use of antibiotics and heavy medications like RoAccutane and their potential side effects. It also reduces reliance on topical treatments that can irritate the skin. Since launching this revolutionary technology, we have received significant attention for our impressive results, transforming the landscape of acne care. Administered by our skilled dermatologists, ACCURE offers a targeted in-clinic solution that is both more effective and safer than previous treatments. Clinical studies have shown that most patients experience acne remission lasting over three years after just four sessions, with some achieving remarkable results in fewer sessions as we address the underlying causes of their acne. Importantly, patients live their lives normally with absolutely no restrictions on their daily lives, and women of childbearing age do not have to worry about pregnancy.
The Treatment Experience
As patients arrive for their first session, the atmosphere is filled with hope and anticipation. With the application of local anesthesia, the procedure is comfortable and lasts about one hour as the device targets the oil glands responsible for acne. There’s no downtime, with only a slight chance of a small ‘purge’ of acne lesions occurring in some patients after the initial sessions.
The results speak for themselves. As days turn into weeks, patients notice significant improvements: redness fades, acne clears, and the anxiety of new breakouts diminishes. With newfound confidence, they embrace social activities, beach days, and outings without the worry of acne dictating their choices.
I am happy that word about ACCURE is spreading rapidly throughout the community, drawing in those who have suffered in silence As we continue to treat an ever-growing number of patients, it becomes clear that ACCURE represents more than just a treatment—it’s a revolutionary approach to acne care. Each acne success story is adding to the legacy of SEP, showcasing the power of our precise, customized management approach, and the innovation and hope it brings to those who have long struggled with acne. The future of clear skin is not in a box of pills; it is now reachable reality through our approach, and a box of targeted light, right here at our clinic!
