ACNE

Why do we get acne?

There are many reasons why acne appears — it’s usually a mix of oil, dead skin, bacteria, and hormones. Here are the main causes :

Excess oil production

When sebaceous glands produce too much oil, pores get easily clogged.

Clogged pores

Dead skin buildup, makeup residue, or improper cleansing can block pores and trap oil inside.

Hormonal fluctuations

Hormone changes from stress, menstruation, or lack of sleep can trigger breakouts.

Lifestyle & diet

Late nights, sugar, dairy, and greasy foods can all increase sebum production.

Bacterial growth

Blocked pores create the perfect environment for acne-causing bacteria, leading to inflammation.

Malassezia

Lipophilic yeast that thrives in oily environments. It’s usually harmless and keeps things balanced, but when it overgrows, it can trigger oily skin and other stubborn skin problems.

Cause of Malassezia overgrowth ：

Excess oil (puberty/oily skin), hot & humid conditions, weakened immunity, damaged skin barrier (over-cleansing/exfoliation), long-term use of rich/oily skincare.

Common Areas:

Scalp: Dandruff/seborrheic dermatitis – itchy, red, greasy flakes
Body: Malassezia folliculitis – clusters of itchy red bumps on back, chest, shoulders
Skin: Tinea versicolor – light/dark patches; Facial dermatitis – redness/flaking around nose, eyebrows, smile lines

Nodules

Pustule

Cysts

White head

Papules

Boxcar Scars

Microneedling MTS

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that targets the mesoderm—the layer between the epidermis (outer skin) and the dermis. Using ultra-fine needles, the treatment stimulates the skin’s natural repair response, triggering the production of new collagen, elastin, and fibroblasts beneath the surface.

By activating this natural healing process, microneedling encourages long-term skin renewal. It effectively improves skin texture and tone, and is suitable for delicate areas around the eyes, eyelids, nose, neck, as well as larger areas like the shoulders, abdomen, and legs.

At Moon Skin Clinic, we use the latest microneedling technology. DP4 creates over 1,000 micro-channels per second—providing an ideal delivery system for active ingredients like growth factors or PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma). These nutrients are infused deep into the dermis, greatly enhancing skin repair and rejuvenation from within.

DP4 Microneedling is effective for treating:
• Fine lines & wrinkles
• Acne scars
• Skin laxity
• Stretch marks
• Pigmentation
• Enlarged pores

With every session, DP4 works to resurface, retexture, and restore your skin—naturally and effectively.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that stimulates collagen and elastin production by creating tiny punctures in the skin. This technique improves skin texture, firmness, and appearance by reducing wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, enlarged pores, and pigmentation.

In addition to its rejuvenating effects, microneedling enhances the absorption of skincare products by creating micro-channels that allow active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin. Unlike some other treatments, microneedling does not cause heat damage or inflammation, making it safe and effective for most skin types and conditions.

Depending on the needle length, frequency, and technique, microneedling can be performed either at home or by a professional. However, proper aftercare and hygiene are essential to prevent infection, irritation, or adverse reactions.

Why is Microneedling Popular?

Microneedling is gaining popularity as a facial collagen-boosting therapy—and for good reason. The process involves using a dermal pen or a disposable device with numerous tiny needles to create micro-wounds on the skin’s surface. These tiny wounds are incredibly small and only target the top layer of skin. The body responds by healing the wounds, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. This not only helps rejuvenate the skin, but also helps fade scars, pigmentation, and wrinkles over time.

Instant Glow with Microneedling

One of the main benefits of microneedling is that it can leave your skin glowing after just one treatment. Many of our clients notice visible improvements in their skin’s radiance and health. The healthy, glowing complexion can last for months, but for the best results, we recommend multiple treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart.
