Facial acne can be improved through treatments such as chemical peels (using fruit acids), hyaluronic acid injections, radiofrequency therapy, photorejuvenation, and fractional laser therapy. It is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and undergo treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician.

In daily life, ensure adequate sleep and rest, avoid staying up late or excessive internal heat ("fire"), which may lower immunity. Maintain a light diet and avoid spicy or irritating foods such as Sichuan pepper, chili peppers, and onions, as they are detrimental to health.

What should I do about acne on my face?

The principle of acne treatment is stratified therapy. Treatment regimens vary according to the severity of acne. If comedones are predominantly closed (whitehead) or open (blackhead) comedones, topical retinoid ointments may be used, or chemical peels containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or salicylic acid may be applied. If there are numerous inflammatory papules or pustules, oral anti-inflammatory antibiotics—such as minocycline—may be added. In cases of large abscesses or nodules, more aggressive interventions may be required.
