Acne and acne scar treatment

Acne care starts with getting active breakouts under control using an evidence-based plan, which may include topical treatments, oral medicines and, for suitable cases, isotretinoin with monitoring. Once acne is settled, scars can be addressed. Options include fractional CO2 laser for texture and shallow scars, subcision for rolling scars, microneedling with or without PRP, and chemical peels for marks and pigmentation. Most people have a mixture of scar types, so the plan is staged over several months. Dr. Abdullah Anis explains which approach suits your skin type and how much downtime each step involves.

Medical injectables

For people looking for injectables near City Walk, Dr. Abdullah Anis provides Botox for expression lines, hyaluronic acid fillers and skin-quality treatments, with an emphasis on natural, proportionate results. Before any injection, he reviews your medical history, facial anatomy and goals, and explains what each product can and cannot achieve. As a dermatologist with experience in managing filler complications, he also assesses people who are unhappy with or concerned about previous injections. Appointments allow time for questions, and you are not expected to decide on treatment the same day. Aftercare and review are explained before you leave.

Skin checks and medical dermatology

Beyond cosmetic care, specialist dermatology covers eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, fungal infections, hair loss, pigmentation and changes in moles. Dr. Abdullah Anis completed a fellowship in dermatopathology at St John's Institute of Dermatology in London, which gives a strong background in how skin diseases look under the microscope. If a mole or spot needs closer evaluation, he explains whether monitoring, a biopsy or referral is appropriate. Confidential sexual-health consultations are also available. Seek urgent care for a rapidly spreading rash with fever, blistering of the skin or mouth, or facial swelling with breathing difficulty.

How to choose a dermatologist near you

Whichever clinic you choose, check the doctor's licence on the DHA Sheryan portal and confirm the specialist title in dermatology. Ask about experience with your particular condition, how complications are handled and whether you will receive a clear written plan. Reviews can help, but a consultation where your questions are answered properly matters more. Manhal Medical Center is DHA-licensed, has a 4.7-star Google rating from 247 reviews and offers consultations in English and Arabic. Dr. Abdullah Anis has more than 25 years of experience and holds DHA licence 00141155-008 in Specialist Dermatology.

Acne scars come in different shapes — rolling, boxcar and icepick — and respond best to a combination plan designed for your scar types.
