Understanding Acne

From a Single Oily Patch to a Stubborn Scar

Acne progresses from a single oily patch through congestion and inflammation to stubborn marks and scars. While there are at-home skincare products to manage acne, recurring breakouts and marks left behind may call for a targeted, professional treatment. Cica Rescue Treatment addresses both the breakouts and marks, while preventing future pimples.

  1. 01

    Oily

    pH not balanced

    Excess sebum and a disrupted moisture barrier create the conditions where acne begins.

  2. 02

    Congestion

    blackhead / whitehead

    Sebum and dead skin plug the pore. Open comedones oxidise into blackheads; closed pores form whiteheads.

  3. 03

    Acne / Pimple

    inflammation

    Bacteria multiply inside the blocked pore. The result: red, swollen papules, pustules and cysts.

  4. 04

    Acne-Scar Marks

    post-inflammatory

    Healed breakouts often leave behind dark marks (PIH), red marks (PIE), or textured scars.

Who Should Consider the Cica Rescue Treatment

  • Acne Breakouts

    Active breakouts, cystic pimples and more — including deep nodules under the skin and cyclical jawline or chin flare-ups.

  • Post-Acne Marks & Scars

    Dark spots, red marks, or ice-pick and rolling scars left behind after breakouts have healed.

  • Sensitive, Reactive Skin

    Skin that flares from harsh actives, where most acne products leave you red, dry, or tender.

  • Oily Skin & Enlarged Pores

    Excess sebum and visibly clogged pores across the nose, forehead, or cheeks that invite fresh breakouts.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Acne Treatment

How many sessions do I need to see results?
Most clients see visible improvement within 3–5 sessions. Severe or cystic cases may benefit from an extended programme of 8–12 sessions combined with lifestyle guidance. Some report a brighter, smoother complexion after just the first session.
Can the Cica Rescue Treatment help with severe acne?
Yes. The treatment is designed for the full severity spectrum — from comedonal and inflammatory acne through to cystic and hormonal cases — with an intensive multi-session plan for severe presentations. Your consultant will map the right programme after your free skin analysis.
Is the Cica Rescue Treatment painful?
No. The treatment is non-invasive and designed to be comfortable. No manual extractions are involved — instead, gentle Hydra-Vortex technology is used to deeply cleanse the pores while maintaining skin moisture levels. The Cica Booster sinks into the skin with the help of Galvanic Technology, which feels like a massage on the skin surface.
Are there any side effects associated with the treatment?
The Cica Rescue Treatment is non-invasive with no significant side effects, no downtime, and no bruising in normal use.
How often should I come in for best results?
A session every 2–3 weeks is typical during an active programme, spacing out to monthly maintenance once your skin has stabilised. Your consultant will confirm the ideal cadence for your skin at consultation.
Is the treatment suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes. Centella Asiatica is specifically chosen for its anti-inflammatory and barrier-repair profile, which makes the treatment suitable for reactive and sensitive skin. A patch analysis is done on your first visit before any actives are applied.
Can I wear makeup after the treatment?
We recommend allowing a few hours for your skin to fully absorb the active ingredients before applying makeup. Where possible, leave the skin bare for the rest of the day to get the most out of the session.
Can the treatment help fade acne scars?
Yes — particularly post-inflammatory marks and textured scars. Centella extract and peptides work over consecutive sessions to gradually lighten marks and smooth texture.
How much does acne treatment cost at New York Skin Solutions?
First-time customers can experience the full Cica Rescue Treatment from $28 (usual price $760). Ongoing sessions are priced transparently based on your severity and the number of sessions recommended at consultation.
How do I maintain the results at home?
Stay consistent with the home-care plan your consultant prepares for you — typically a gentle cleanser, Cica-based moisturiser, and daily SPF. Avoid picking at breakouts, over-exfoliating, and heavy sun exposure between sessions.
What is the difference between the Cica Rescue Treatment and regular facials?
Regular acne facials often involve painful manual extractions. The Cica Rescue Treatment does not involve this, and uses painless, non-invasive methods to deeply cleanse and nourish the skin with beneficial ingredients that target acne at its root. The booster used is also formulated in-house, based on our own research. Ingredients and devices used are certified by HSA Singapore to ensure quality and safety.
