How to eliminate hidden acne? Advice from Dr.Thao
Many people have given up all hope and have decided to live with hidden acne, but do you know that if not thoroughly cleansed, hidden acne will become inflamed and risk spreading to other skin areas?
Hidden acne occurs under the skin surface. It is usually non-inflamed, deeply seated in the hair follicle, small in size, and grows in clusters. Although It does not cause skin irritation, hidden acne will make the overall skin surface rough and harsh. If treated incorrectly, it will turn to more stubborn acne and cause the skin to become inflamed.
Hidden acne often occurs when dirt and make-up residue accumulate after careless cleansing. Hormonal changes and a dusty environment can also cause hidden acne. In addition, unreasonable, unhealthy lifestyles can contribute to the seriousness of your acne condition.
How to spot hidden acne
Depending on the cause, it is easy to see whether your skin contains hidden acne by these simple signs:
– Acne will not come to the surface of your skin or you cannot feel the core of the acne on the skin’s surface which makes common acne removal methods not possible. In addition, hidden acne is small in size.
– Acne area feels a bit rough, but is not swollen or red and also causes no pain when impacted.
Hidden acne does not grow alone but in clusters. It is highly concentrated and it will gradually spread to the surrounding area on the face. You will mostly find it on your cheeks, chin, and forehead.

Treatment for hidden acne does not hurt immediately but it will cause many difficulties in the treatment process. So, as soon as you detect signs of hidden acne, you should take timely action to avoid it from spreading and imposing further damage to the skin.

0-09-2019 "I would love to thank Dr. Hun Kim Thao and her amazing staffs for helping me through a skin improving journey over an almost year while I was staying in HCM. I received acne facial and peel every other week and the service was superb! Each procedure was well explained and Dr.Thao was very attentive. I loved her holistic way of approach to improve patient's skin. Not only she prescribed very effective acne gel but also shared great tips such as reducing the amount of simple carb intake, cutting down sugar, and most importantly highlighting the importance of getting enough sleep. She even recommended a well known doctor in town who could help me with my sleeping problem. In addition, the price was very reasonable and I was very happy with all the service I got from Grace Skin Clinic. Oh Dr. Thao even asked her staff to make me a cup of tea one day as she she thought I looked overly exhausted. I was very moved. How warm hearted she is! I will definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to check up their skin and improve their skin. Amazing place!"
This place is amazing; they help me improve my terrible skin condition which had affected my identity, and my confidence for many years. I have been visiting Grace Clinic during summer time for the past two years, and every time I am here, they create a different program in order to fit my skin condition and my limited time. Furthermore, people from Grace Clinic always greet me with warm hearts. They once invited me to have boba tea with them which made me no longer feel like a customer but a friend which it has created a friendship overtime. I cannot stress how highly I would recommend this place. Again, they are amazing and very professional. There is one thing, you can do walk-in just fine but it would be better if you schedule the appointment so they can prepare and create the best service for you.
I absolutely love the ladies of Grace Skincare. I was staying in Saigon for 6 months and came here with acne and a congested skin from my travels. So happy I found them! Their prices are reasonable compared to other “expat” clinic that I went to. I bought the 10 facial package for a really good price and am really happy with the result of my skin after following all of their consultations. Acne has cleared up and now we’re focusing on my other skin concerns such as dark spots and hyperpigmentation. I highly recommend this clinic. They truly want you to walk out with skin you feel confident in. I’m going to miss this place and the ladies I got to connect with during my time here. Amazing results · Expert facials · Great deals · Professional products ·Licensed skin care professional · Experienced skin care professionals
Hey guys it’s been 3 weeks since we came for our treatment. I can honestly say it’s the best I have had done. Andrew and I look fresh without being overdone. We both had people say how refreshed we look after our holiday. Honestly they wouldn’t be saying that if they knew how much beer and yummy Vietnamese food we consumed when we were there. I can honestly say Andrew and I will be back. And I am telling all my friends how fantastic you guys are and how professional the consultation was. I have yet to find someone in Australia who is so thorough. Thank you, Kylie
I had a acne treatment here last month and now it's improved a lot. I must say that this place is very professional, modern equipment, especially the thoughtful doctor! I'm impressed!
Grace Skincare Clinic has a great and friendly service and that have a centrally located clinic. I highly recommend them!
The owners are wonderful people. I had a good experience and can sincerely and highly recommend everything about Grace Skincare Clinic!
I was so embarrassed with the scars and pigmentation marks on my face. These are from old sports injuries and harsh products on my legs from childhood accidents. I am fed up with using so much concealer makeup on my face and am never able to wear a skirt with confidence. I heard about the Grace Skincare Clinic pigmentation lightening treatment from a friend. I took 6 treatments & used skincare product as Dr. Thao instructed and now my skin is beautiful and permanently clear. It was worth every penny.
as Tet is coming, I highly recommend this place for a weekend retreat, skin detoxing or even an urgent package to soothe and smooth your skin. I got back my healthy skin after just 02 week following the instruction of Dr Thao Hun and it cost me 200,000 for medical consultation fee only. Wonderful!
