Shal began her career at Malaysia’s largest plastic surgery center, where she practiced as a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon until 2014. In 2015, she relocated to Houston with her family in search of a better balance between her professional passions and quality time with loved ones — and found a new purpose in treating acne. Her surgical background gave her a medical-grade understanding of skin, tissue, healing, and scarring that most acne providers simply don’t have, and she channeled that expertise into building something different: a dedicated acne clinic where results are the only standard. Today, every AcneFix team member is trained in-house, follows our proprietary CLEAR protocol, and receives ongoing mentorship — ensuring that every client, at every location, receives the same consistent, high-quality care that Shal built this practice on.
For years, Shal watched patients struggle with acne treatments that simply didn’t work. They were prescribed generic solutions—benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics, harsh scrubs—without anyone taking the time to understand their unique skin, triggers, or lifestyle.
After treating thousands of cases, the pattern became clear: every person’s acne is different. Hormones, genetics, diet, stress, skincare routines—all play a role. Yet the industry insisted on one-size-fits-all protocols that ignored these critical factors.
In 2018, Shal founded AcneFix with a revolutionary approach: comprehensive skin analysis, personalized treatment plans, and ongoing support. Every patient gets a tailored protocol based on their specific acne type, triggers, and skin sensitivity—not a cookie-cutter prescription.
I spent years in surgery learning that healing only works when you treat the cause, not the symptom. Acne deserved the same standard — so I built it.
We believe in treating not just the symptoms, but addressing the root causes of acne with evidence-based solutions and unwavering support.
Every treatment we offer is backed by rigorous scientific research and clinical trials, ensuring safe and effective results.
We recognize that every skin is unique. Our treatments are customized to your specific skin type, lifestyle, and goals.
We address skin health from all angles—nutrition, lifestyle, stress management, and advanced treatments.
No more trial and error. We help you understand what’s causing your acne and guide you with a treatment plan built just for your skin.
We begin by understanding your skin type, acne condition, and underlying triggers to create a treatment approach tailored specifically to your needs.
Based on your skin analysis, we build a personalized treatment and skincare plan designed to target the root cause of your acne effectively.
With consistent treatment, expert guidance, and the right routine, you’ll see visible improvements and long-term skin health over time.
You need to use the right products for your type of skin. A product that is good for inflamed acne will not be good for those annoying bumps we sometimes get.
Products need to be strong enough for your type of acne. If they are not, your skin will not change much. If they are too strong, you will irritate and dehydrate your skin. We design the correct program for YOUR skin.
You need to use these products in the right way. It takes strong products to get nicely hydrated, smooth skin, but if you use too much too soon, you will irritate and dehydrate your skin. You must start slowly with strong products. We will be guiding you.
You need to account for skin adaptation. What does this mean? This means you cannot allow your skin to get too “used” to products. If you do, then your skin will stop responding and not get clear. It takes adjusting your skin care regimen routinely.
