Specialized Acne and Scar Treatment in Bogotá
Acne is a medical condition that goes far beyond aesthetics. It affects self-esteem, leaves permanent scars and requires a rigorous clinical approach. At ALMO Clinic we combine medical dermatology with FDA-certified technology to treat both active acne and the marks it leaves, with protocols adapted to each skin type.
- Complete dermatological diagnosis: Evaluation of acne type, degree of inflammation, skin phototypes and barrier status.
- Integrated protocol: We combine topical, oral treatment (when applicable) and in-office procedures according to severity.
- Scar technology: Morpheus8 and fractional CO2 Laser with 60 to 80% reduction results in visible scar depth.
- Continuous follow-up: Periodic check-ups to adjust the protocol and keep skin breakout-free in the long term.
Types of acne we treat at ALMO Clinic
Each clinical presentation of acne requires a different approach. Our dermatologists design protocols based on the type and severity of your case.
Acne Scars: elimination with advanced technology
Acne scars —atrophic (icepick, boxcar, rolling) or hypertrophic— respond optimally to the combination of Morpheus8 and fractional CO2 Laser. Morpheus8 acts on deep dermal layers stimulating new collagen production, remodeling the scar architecture from within.
Fractional CO2 Laser complements the result by eliminating damaged epidermis and evening out surface texture. In 2 to 4 sessions a visible 60 to 80% reduction in scar depth can be achieved.

Active inflammatory acne —comedones, pustules, nodules and cysts— requires a medical protocol that combines sebum production regulation, bacterial control and inflammation reduction. Our dermatologists design systemic and topical treatments adapted to your skin type and the clinical grade of the condition.
In the clinic we perform complementary procedures such as medical peeling, intense pulsed light (IPL) and professional extraction to accelerate resolution of active breakouts and prevent new scars.
Post-acne hyperpigmentation: spots and redness
Dark spots (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) and persistent redness left by acne are among the most frequent complaints in our practice. Unlike atrophic scars, they respond very well to depigmentation protocols with medical peels, low-fluence laser and topical depigmenting treatment.
In patients with skin phototypes III–V (the most common in Colombia), the protocol must be especially careful to avoid paradoxical hyperpigmentation. Our specialists are trained in dermatology for skin of color.

How does the treatment process work?
Every acne case is unique. Our protocol always begins with a complete medical assessment before defining treatment.

We classify your acne type, evaluate the cutaneous barrier status and determine whether there is a hormonal, dietary or other triggering factor.
Personalized Protocol
We design a plan that may combine medical treatment (oral/topical), in-office procedures and advanced technology based on the phase and severity of your acne.
Continuous Follow-up
We schedule periodic check-ups to adjust the protocol, monitor treatment response and prevent new breakouts in the long term.
