Acne is a medical skin condition — it should be treated with a customized protocol, not a service package.
Acne treatment at BonBoz is a personalized medical protocol customized by dermatologists for each specific type of acne — not a fixed service package. If you have tried countless cleansers, serums, and acne creams yet your skin continues to break out in endless cycles, the issue likely does not lie in the products you choose. While they are all collectively called "acne," comedonal acne, inflammatory acne, and hormonal acne each require a completely different approach.
At BonBoz, our dermatologists conduct a thorough examination to determine your specific acne type and severity before designing your treatment protocol. This also means your protocol can be adjusted mid-treatment as your skin responds — rather than purchasing a rigid, pre-packaged plan just to complete a set number of sessions.
Book an acne consultation with a dermatologist at BonBoz to accurately identify your acne type and receive a tailored treatment protocol.
Cost depends on your condition — the doctor will quote you clearly after an in-person exam, before you decide anything.
What might still concern you
Tried countless skincare products, yet your acne keeps coming back.
Worried that improper acne extraction will leave dark spots and pitted scars.
Unsure whether your breakouts are hormonal or due to your skincare routine.
Hesitant about being pushed into lengthy treatment packages without knowing if they are truly necessary.
These concerns are all valid. The only way to answer them for your specific case is an in-person exam — so your first consultation at BonBoz is for asking everything, not for closing a package.
The process at BonBoz
1
Skin Examination and Classification
A dermatologist will personally examine and assess your skin: what type of acne you have, its severity, and whether there are any accompanying skin conditions.
2
Identifying the Root Cause
The doctor will ask about your skincare routine, current cosmetics and medications, menstrual cycle, lifestyle habits, and previous treatments. This step is crucial in determining the accuracy and success of your treatment plan.
3
Designing a Personalized Treatment Plan
The doctor will design a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific condition, clearly explaining what treatments/products will be used, why they are used, the expected timeline for re-evaluation, and the corresponding costs.
4
In-Clinic Treatment
If indicated, clinical procedures are performed in strict accordance with your treatment plan and sterile protocols — rather than attempting a full extraction in a single session.
5
Home Skincare Routine
You will receive detailed instructions for your at-home routine, including the correct order of product application, and just as importantly, which products to stop using because they are worsening your skin.
6
Follow-up and Adjustment
The doctor will schedule follow-up visits to monitor how your skin is responding and adjust the treatment plan accordingly. Since everyone's skin responds differently, this step is mandatory, not optional.
7
Treating Remaining Dark Spots and Scars
Once the acne is fully under control, the doctor will evaluate and address post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots) and scarring — as treating scars and dark spots while the skin is still actively inflamed is generally ineffective.
Your doctor — no substitutes
The doctor who examines you at the first visit is the same one who performs the procedure. Never handed off to a technician.
There is no universal timeline, and any place that promises a specific timeframe for everyone is overpromising. How quickly acne responds depends on the type, severity, root cause, and how closely you follow your treatment plan. The doctor will give you a personalized re-evaluation timeline after your initial consultation.
Is the treatment for under-the-skin acne and inflammatory acne different?
Yes, they are quite different. Under-the-skin acne lies beneath the surface and is non-inflammatory, typically requiring exfoliation and pore-unclogging treatments. Inflammatory acne involves active inflammation and bacteria, which requires a completely different approach. This is why the classification step during your initial consultation is so crucial.
Should I pop my pimples at home?
We highly advise against it. Popping them yourself, especially inflammatory or deep-seated acne, can easily push the inflammation deeper, which is a common cause of long-lasting dark spots and pitted scars. If you have already popped a pimple and the area is swollen and painful, you should come in for an evaluation rather than trying to treat it at home.
My acne is hormonal; will skin treatments still work?
Yes. There are cases where hormonal factors play a clear role, and the doctor will factor this into your treatment plan, sometimes recommending further testing or collaborating with other specialists. This determination must be made by a doctor after an examination; you should not self-diagnose based on online information.
Do I need to stop using all my current skincare products?
Not necessarily. You should bring them with you or take photos of all your current products when you come for your consultation. The doctor will advise which ones you can keep and which ones are currently harming your skin.
How much does acne treatment cost?
The cost depends on your specific condition and the treatment plan the doctor designs for you, so there is no flat rate for everyone. After your examination, the doctor will provide a clear cost breakdown for your specific plan before you make a decision—you are completely free to take your time and think it over.
Will acne treatment leave scars?
The goal of early and proper treatment is to minimize scarring. However, if the acne was already deeply inflamed or popped or squeezed improperly beforehand, dark spots and scars may have already formed before you started treatment. These dark spots and scars will be evaluated and treated in a later phase, once the active acne is under control.
Will my acne come back after treatment?
It is possible. Acne is a condition that tends to recur, especially if maintenance care is stopped or when there are changes in hormones, lifestyle, or environment. Therefore, post-treatment maintenance care is just as important as the active treatment phase.
Who will examine and treat me?
Dr. Kha — a Dermatologist — will personally examine you and design your treatment plan. All procedures performed at the clinic are carried out strictly according to the doctor's instructions.
Is BonBoz a spa or a clinic?
BonBoz is a licensed medical clinic, not a spa. The clinic is located at 66–68 Võ Văn Tần, Xuân Hòa Ward, TP.HCM. For invasive procedures, this is a crucial detail you should clarify at any facility, not just BonBoz.
