Acne is not just a teenage problem. Many men struggle with persistent acne, breakouts, and acne scars well into adulthood. Stress, hormones, diet, and genetics can all play a role — and for men in Bangkok’s hot and humid climate, the problem is often worse.
Fortunately, modern acne treatments can help control breakouts, reduce inflammation, and repair skin damage. This guide covers the top acne treatments for men in Bangkok, expected results, recovery, and costs.
Why Men Get Acne
Acne in men can be caused by:
Hormones → testosterone increases oil (sebum) production
Oily or thick skin → common in men, leading to clogged pores
Lifestyle factors → stress, diet, alcohol, lack of sleep
Bangkok’s climate → heat and humidity worsen breakouts
Shaving irritation → ingrown hairs causing acne-like bumps
Acne Treatment Options in Bangkok
1. Medical Treatments
Topical creams → retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics
Oral medications → antibiotics, isotretinoin (for severe acne)
Hormonal regulation → for men with hormone-related acne
2. In-Clinic Procedures
Chemical peels → exfoliate, reduce oil, and unclog pores
Laser therapy → targets bacteria and reduces scars
LED light therapy → kills acne-causing bacteria and reduces inflammation
Acne extraction → safe removal of blackheads and whiteheads
3. Regenerative Treatments
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) → improves healing, reduces scars
Rejuran Healer → repairs acne-damaged skin
Microneedling with boosters → smooths texture and reduces scars
Acne Scar Treatments
For men with old acne scars, treatments include:
Laser resurfacing (fractional CO2, erbium) → smooths uneven skin
Dermal fillers (Restylane, Juvederm) → fill deep scars
Subcision → releases scar tissue under the skin
Biostimulators (Sculptra, Juvelook) → stimulate collagen repair
