Presenting Complaint
A 33-year-old patient presented with persistent severe acne and worsening painful breakouts on the cheeks and jawline despite limited benefit from topical treatments.

Treatment Plan
A personalised plan combined topical medication, carefully selected dermal peels, Q-switched laser therapy, and patient education to address active acne and residual pigmentation.
Results
