Acne Clinic
KINS Clinic is a dedicated acne treatment clinic in Singapore, led by Dr. Henry Loh — Fellow of the Academy of Medicine Singapore (FAMS, Dermatology) — alongside Medical Director Dr. Silver Chua, who specialises in the day-to-day care of acne and rosacea.
Acne affects up to 88% of adolescents and remains common well into adulthood. We treat all forms of acne — including acne vulgaris, cystic acne, hormonal acne, teenage acne, adult acne, and back acne — using evidence-based protocols that combine prescription medication, laser therapy, and microbiome skincare formulated at our research lab in Japan.
Beyond acne, our clinic addresses rosacea, melasma, acne scars, and a full range of medical aesthetic treatments. Each patient receives a personalised plan built around their skin condition, lifestyle, and long-term goals.

The KINS Approach to Acne
At KINS, every visit starts with a proper diagnosis by a doctor who conducts over 150 acne consultations each month.
Because every patient's acne is different, we offer a wide range of treatment options. We combine them to fit your skin, and adjust as it changes.
01
Not everything that looks like acne is acne
A red bump isn't always acne. It can be rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis, or a damaged skin barrier — and often, more than one at the same time. When that happens, we decide the order of treatment and how to combine them, so improving one doesn't make the others worse.
02
The right strength for your skin, today
The same medication or laser can feel very different depending on how your skin is doing that day. At each visit, we check where your skin is now, and adjust the dosage or laser settings to fit — so treatment stays effective without pushing your skin too hard.
03
Treatment isn't only about adding more
Sometimes the better choice is to use less. Medication works differently for each person, and isn't meant to be used longer than needed. Once your skin is under control, we gradually reduce the dose — prescribing what's needed, and holding back what isn't.
04
We recommend, then decide together
From oral and topical medication to lasers, hormonal treatment, and skincare — each option has its own benefits, side effects, and timeline. We recommend what's best for your skin, then shape it around your life and concerns — so it's a plan you believe in, not one handed to you.

How to get rid of acne?
Finding the right acne treatment singapore
Option 1. Acne Facial Singapore
KINS Signature Hydrafacial integrates our Microbiome products, which can help improve treatment outcomes and support your skin’s recovery from acne.
Price (First Trial): $128
Option 2. Laser Treatment for Acne
Lasers target P. acnes bacteria, which causes breakouts. Additionally, laser settings can be customized to target excess blood vessels around inflamed areas, including scars and pigmentation left post-acne healing.
At KINS Clinic, we incorporate the Vbeam Perfecta, a pulsed dye laser system from the United States, into our acne treatment programs. This technology is used by doctors to target skin redness and is also known for its ability to reduce inflammation and support bacterial control on acne-prone skin.
Price (First Trial): $299
At KINS Clinic, we incorporate the CO2 Fractional Laser system from Deka (USA), a dermatological technology commonly used in acne scar treatment. The laser works by creating micro-channels in the skin to promote natural healing, support collagen regeneration, and improve overall skin texture as part of a customised treatment program.
Price (First Trial): $288
KINS Q-Switched laser therapy—including carbon peel laser techniques—as part of our acne treatment programs. This non-invasive technology is applied to support the management of acne-prone skin by targeting excess oil, refining pores, and addressing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and acne scars. It also helps improve the overall skin tone and texture.
Price (First Trial): $288
Option 3.Acne Injection in Singapore
Intralesional steroid injections may be considered for patients with severe inflammatory acne, such as large nodules or acne with pus accumulation. By delivering corticosteroids directly into the affected lesions, this treatment is used by doctors to help reduce inflammation and swelling as part of a targeted acne management plan.
Price: From $150
・Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses fine needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin. This technique is commonly used in dermatology to stimulate the skin’s natural healing response. It is believed to support collagen and hyaluronic acid production, and is often included in acne care programs to assist in regulating skin texture and sebum activity.
Price (First Trial): $168
・Skin Remodeling Treatment
Our Skin Remodeling Treatment combines dermatological and aesthetic approaches through the use of hyaluronic acid and polynucleotides (PN), which are commonly applied in both medical and aesthetic dermatology. These components are used to support skin repair, hydration, and barrier function. At KINS Clinic, we tailor the use of skin-rebuilding formulations—such as Juvelook, Profhilo, Plinest, and Skinboosters—to address individual skin conditions, allowing patients to receive acne care while supporting overall skin quality improvement within a medically supervised program.
Price (First Trial): From $550
Option 4. Acne Oral & Topical medication
・Acne Oral & Topical medication
Acne treatment often involves the use of topical or oral medications, depending on the severity and type of acne. Common topical ingredients prescribed by doctors include retinoids (e.g., Tretinoin, Adapalene), antibacterial agents (e.g., Benzoyl peroxide, Clindamycin), exfoliating acids (e.g., Salicylic acid, Azelaic acid), and androgen receptor inhibitors (e.g., Clascoterone). These medications are used to support clearer skin by targeting clogged pores and inflammation.
For more severe or persistent acne, oral medications such as certain antibiotics or hormonal therapies may be considered under medical supervision. Oral isotretinoin is typically prescribed in carefully selected cases by doctors when other treatments are not effective.
At KINS Clinic, all medications are prescribed based on each patient’s skin condition, under the guidance of our doctors.
Price: From $60
Option 5. Microbiome skincare for Acne
For individuals struggling with acne, reviewing skincare habits based on one’s skin type and condition is an important part of maintaining healthy skin. Our Microbiome Science skincare line was developed drawing from diverse scientific findings, with a particular focus on the relationship between Asian skin characteristics and the skin microbiome. It is formulated by researchers from our parent company’s dedicated microbiome research institute in Japan, which specializes in the study of Asian skin flora. This skincare approach is often considered by those with acne-prone or sensitive skin as a supportive option in their daily routine.
Price: From $46
Your Acne Treatment Journey:
5 Simple Steps
Step 1: Booking & Preparation
A smooth start from the comfort of your home. To minimize waiting time and ensure a stress-free visit, we operate on a strictly by-appointment basis. After booking, you will receive a secure Pre-Registration Form via email. Filling this out beforehand allows for a smooth check-in process on the day. (Note: Please bring your IC card or Passport for identity verification on your first visit.)
Step 2: Skin Imaging Analysis
Tracking your progress with precision. Before every consultation, we take high-definition clinical photos of your skin (approx. 2–3 mins). This allows us to accurately track your progress and fine-tune your treatment plan at every stage.
-
Preparation: Photos are taken on bare skin. We ask that you remove makeup, or our staff can gently assist you with makeup removal at the clinic.
Step 3: In-Depth Consultation
(30 mins)
Understanding the root cause, not just the symptoms. For your first visit, we dedicate approximately 30 minutes to get to know you. The doctor will evaluate your skin condition, medical history, and lifestyle factors (such as sleep, stress, and skincare routine) to understand why the acne is occurring.
Your Bespoke Plan: Based on this holistic diagnosis, we propose a tailored treatment plan—often combining different therapies for the best results. We believe in full transparency:
-
Effectiveness: What results can you expect?
-
Risks: Are there side effects like redness or dryness?
-
Cost: We provide a clear explanation of fees. We proceed with treatment only after you are fully informed and comfortable.
Step 4: The Treatment Experience
Gentle care with your doctor by your side. If you wish, you can receive treatment on the same day as your consultation (approx. 30–60 mins). Alternatively, you can book the treatment for a later date if you have other commitments. Your comfort is our priority. The doctor will be with you every step of the way, ensuring pain and anxiety are minimized. If you feel uneasy at any point, please let us know immediately—we are here to support you.
Step 5: After care & Continuous Support
Building skin that resists acne. Our goal is not just to suppress inflammation, but to cultivate skin that is resilient against future breakouts. Through continuous care, we work together with you to guide your skin toward a healthy, clear state.
Home Support via WhatsApp: Your care continues even after you leave the clinic. If you have questions about your medication or notice any changes in your skin while at home, simply message us on WhatsApp. We are your partners in this journey, both in the clinic and at home.
