Clear Away Stubborn Acne And Blemishes From Your Skin
Acne occurs when oils, dead skin cells, and bacteria are trapped inside the pores. It is commonly seen in the form of whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, and cysts. The condition often occurs on the face, neck, chest, back, and shoulders areas as they carry more oil glands.
Acne and pimples form due to various factors. Here are the most common causes of acne:
These are small, round, white, or flesh-coloured bumps on the skin’s surface. This is due to the hair follicles being trapped with dead skin cells, oil (sebum), and bacteria.
Blackheads are caused by the broad opening of the skin’s surface which exposes the content to air, resulting in heads that are dark in colour.
Papules can be recognised due to their raised bumps which are red and inflamed. Excess inflammation causes the breakage of the walls of the hair follicles, creating this condition.
Also known as ‘pimples’, pustules are filled with pus, causing them to have a white or yellow centre.
Nodules are large, solid, painful bumps beneath the skin’s surface. This condition occurs due to the excess sebum, bacteria, and dead skin cells in the hair follicles. Nodules are typically more severe than other forms of acne.
Cysts are a more severe form of acne. They are filled with pus, large, and can cause discomfort. If left untreated, scarring is likely to occur.
Glowwis acne removal treatments aim to reduce or eliminate acne, improve skin texture, and prevent future breakouts. Each treatment is carefully selected by Dr. Sam according to your skin conditions and concerns.
Glowwis has a range of medical-grade facials and Dr. Sam will advise on the most suitable medi-facial that helps in clearing acne. The acne facials will include machine and manual extraction, and exfoliation using alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) to remove blackheads and whiteheads, and to clear clogged pores. The LED light acne therapy followed by oil-controlling face masks will be effective in achieving acne-free skin.
Acne medications including antibiotics, and other acne creams can be prescribed to reduce moderate to severe acne conditions. Dr. Sam will carefully decide on the suitable medication for each individual, after assessing individual acne conditions.
Chemical peels are superficial but medium-depth peels that will remove dead skin at epidermis and dermis levels. Chemical peel exfoliation removes the dead skin cells and helps in getting rid of dead skin and excess oil on the skin, clearing the pores and leading to acne-free skin.
Injections are used by Dr. Sam to relieve inflammation and shrink large cysts. These are injected directly into an acne cyst or nodule, typically containing a small amount of a steroid, such as triamcinolone , which is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent.
Pico laser targets acne using ultra-short pulses of laser energy. This technology works by delivering these rapid laser pulses in picoseconds (trillionths of a second), which target various skin problems, including acne. Dr. Sam will perform the laser treatments with his own techniques that have proven results.
Providing the skin with an anti-inflammatory effect with its laser energy, Q Switch Laser helps to reduce redness and swelling that occurs from acne. The treatment is part of a comprehensive approach to acne treatment in Glowwis, especially for addressing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots) and improving skin texture.
LDM uses rapid ultrasound vibrations with dual-frequency characteristics, ranging from one hundred to one thousand oscillations per second upon contact with the skin. With the micro-massage effect, the device helps stimulate the natural production of collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, and fibres within the body, promoting skin regeneration to achieve a clear and smooth complexion.
Gold Plated Micro Needle RF is an effective non-surgical treatment to address skin ageing as well as acne scars and active acne. A specialised device with gold-plated micro-needles is used to create micro-injuries while simultaneously delivering RF energy. The process aids in encouraging the skin’s natural healing process, leading to increased collagen production. Dr. Sam integrates this treatment as part of a comprehensive approach to treating acne.

DXXNDRX2024-05-15I did HIFU 3 in one treatment (HIFU + MFU + RF). There was a Dr. Consultation session before the treatment, and I felt very comfortable with Dr. Sam as he was listening to all my concerns attentively and educated me about the HIFU treatment in detail. There was numbing cream applied before the treatment and the pain during the treatment was bearable to me. There was an immediate lifting on my face after the HIFU 3 in one treatment and I am happy with my experience at Glowwis. Finally, I would also like to mention the staff who were very helpful and understanding.
june sweetoo2024-05-08I have visited this clinic at Capitol Mall in City Hall for their HIFU 3 in one treatment. I would rate the service of Dr. Sam and the staff high, because they all were helpful and taken good care of me during the time I was at Glowwis. I realised that Dr. Sam is a very knowledgeable practitioner and I learnt how he generates noticeable results by customised techniques in placing HIFU shots on to different areas of the face and neck. The pain was tolerable during the procedure and MFU + RF had a zero-pain level. The staff applied numbing cream and waited for some time before the procedure. There was mild redness after the procedure and was back to normal by the time I woke up the next morning. A mild soreness lasted for about a day also. Highly Recommend Dr. Sam for HIFU treatment.
Jennifer Aw2024-04-24Was searching for aesthetic treatment for my freckles and found Dr Sam whose super skillful and detailed! it's my first time trying Curas laser and my second time trying Pico laser. The whole process from the detail skin analysis and the recommendation of the treatment was a breeze! Dr Sam assured me that my condition has no downtime which was lucky for me! The pain is nil to minimal for these treatments and I feel safe under Dr Sam's care. Love that there's zero hard sell which make the experience so much better. Would like to praise Kristabelle cos she's super friendly and approachable through my experience at Glowwis. Would definitely visit them again! Looking forward to glowy skin soon!!
Jennifer Ghiam2024-04-12Dr Sam is a very friendly and honest doctor. He shared detailed of my skin problems patiently and offered solutions that suit my budget. I also did the pick and curos laser that helps pigmentation and tighten skin. Totally painless under his hands. Highly recommended.
Joeis Tan2024-04-12This was my very first time to an aesthetic clinic. I was first greeted by very friendly and cheerful staff when I entered the clinic. Dr Sam attended to me and I must say I’m so pleased with the whole experience! He rightfully pointed out my key areas of concern, and was very patient in explaining in detail the options available for me to treat those concerns I have. I was always hesitant about visiting aesthetic clinics as I have the impression that aesthetic clinics are all about hard selling but I was proven wrong here. Dr Sam presented me the available options I have and asked for me to think through before deciding. After careful consideration, I decided to go for all 3 laser treatments available (Pico laser, Q switch laser and CO2 laser) to tackle the pigmentation and dullness on my skin. The treatment process was absolutely pleasant - I was pretty nervous that the laser treatments would hurt but thankfully, Dr Sam was really skillful and professional that it didn’t even hurt a bit nor cause any discomfort. The initial results were pretty assuring - minimal redness and no swelling. I’m looking forward to witness the final results a couple of days later!
Celeste Chua2024-04-09Had a good consultation and treatment experience with Dr.Sam. He catered the treatment according to my skin concerns and conditions including pico laser, q-switch and co2 laser. Throughout the treatment, Dr.Sam made sure that i’m doing good and comfortable with the treatment
Esther Hillary2024-04-09It's my first laser treatment and Dr. Sam did not hard sell. He is very professional and caring. The staff is very friendly and helpful too. Did pico laser, curas and co2 and the treatments are not painful. Will visit again! ?
Kailin Choo2024-04-08Love my experience here at Glowwis! Meeting Dr Sam and the clinic staffs for the first time and I felt super welcomed and comfortable. They are all very detailed and patient especially when I have alot of questions about my skin. I did a combi of Pico, Curas and CO2 lasers and there's no pain or discomfort at all. Another plus point is there's no hard selling and they are transparent with the pricings too! Can't wait for my freckles scabs to drop off and continue my treatment here! ? Update: Trust Dr Sam and the team so much and decided to do HIFU treatment with them! Cant wait to see the full results in 2~3 months. I am sure i will have a smaller and sharper face!
Cherrlyn Lim2024-04-08Very patient and professional Dr Sam did Pico and Q-Switch laser. The pain was bearable, no hard-selling and clinic staff were friendly too! Look forward to my next treatment.

The time it takes to see noticeable results from acne removal treatments can vary widely depending on the specific treatment, individual factors, and the severity of the acne. Dr. Sam will advise precisely on this matter, during the consultation.
While combining different acne treatments can provide effective results, it’s advisable to seek professional advice to determine their suitability and effectiveness.
