What Causes Acne—and Why It Keeps Coming Back
Acne is a skin condition triggered by clogged pores, excess sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria. But the reasons it persists vary from person to person. Hormonal shifts, lifestyle stress, harsh skincare products, genetics, and even the Chennai climate can all make your skin more prone to breakouts. Knowing whether your acne is hormonal, cystic, comedonal, or inflammatory helps us craft the right treatment from the start.
At HALOS, we don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all.” We assess your skin under magnification, understand your triggers, and recommend a combination of in-clinic and homecare solutions. With over a decade of dermatological experience, we help patients break the cycle of flare-ups and acne scars through clinically sound, customized treatments. Whether you’re a student, working professional, or bride-to-be, our goal is to give you skin that looks as clear as it feels calm.
- Hormonal imbalances like PCOD/PCOS
- Oily skin and clogged pores
- Inflammation from stress and pollution
- Poor skincare routines or product reactions
- High humidity in Chennai’s climate
- Genetics and family history of acne

What to Expect During and After Treatment
At HALOS, your journey starts with a thorough skin evaluation and consultation. We identify your acne type, triggers, and any underlying issues, such as hormonal imbalances or diet-related causes. Once diagnosed, we create a treatment roadmap that includes in-clinic procedures and supportive skincare products. We’ll explain every step of the plan so you know what’s being done—and why.
Some treatments may show results within weeks, while deeper acne types may need longer-term care. You might experience mild redness, dryness, or peeling (especially after peels or retinoids), but these are normal and managed with moisturizers and sunscreen. With consistent care, your skin begins to heal from within—and you’ll notice smoother texture, fewer breakouts, and a visible glow. We support you throughout your entire skincare journey.
- Thorough acne analysis before treatment
- Noticeable improvements typically within 3 to 6 weeks
- Minimal downtime and manageable side effects
- Clear skincare instructions for home care
- Support for lifestyle and dietary triggers

Frequently asked questions
Acne is often triggered by hormonal imbalances, excess oil production, clogged pores, and bacteria—not just dirt or lack of cleansing. While face washes can help with surface-level oil and grime, they rarely treat the deeper causes. That’s why medical-grade treatments tailored to your skin are more effective in breaking the acne cycle.
Not at all. Most acne treatments at HALOS—like chemical peels, laser therapy, and light-based treatments—are gentle and non-invasive. You might feel a mild tingling or warmth, but nothing uncomfortable. We always prioritize comfort and customize everything to suit your skin sensitivity.
The time it takes varies based on how severe your acne is and your skin’s individual response to treatment. Some patients notice improvements in 2–3 sessions, while others with more stubborn or cystic acne may need ongoing care over a few months. During consultation, we’ll give you a clear idea of what to expect and how we’ll track your progress.
Yes, but we recommend switching to non-comedogenic, dermatologist-approved makeup while undergoing treatment. Our team will guide you on safe product choices that won’t clog your pores or slow down your healing. In many cases, patients find they need less makeup as their skin clears up.
Acne can return if the root cause—like hormones, lifestyle, or skincare habits—is not addressed. That’s why at HALOS, we focus not just on clearing active acne but also on prevention. We equip you with a routine and advice to keep breakouts at bay long after your treatment ends.
