A medically tailored approach combining prescription topicals, chemical peels, laser resurfacing, and micro-needling to clear active acne and erase the scars it leaves behind — for all skin types and grades.
From mild comedonal acne to severe cystic breakouts, and from superficial post-inflammatory marks to deep ice-pick scars — we have a clinically proven protocol for each.
Dermatologist-prescribed topicals (retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics) combined with in-clinic chemical peels and extraction to control active breakouts at every severity grade.
Fractional CO₂ laser combined with RF micro-needling remodels scar tissue and rebuilds the dermis — the most effective combination for deep and depressed acne scars on Indian skin.
Red and brown marks left after acne resolve well with a combination of Q-switched Nd:YAG and targeted chemical peels. Treatment is customised for your Fitzpatrick skin type.
Rolling scars are released with subcision (breaking fibrous bands beneath the skin) followed by RF micro-needling to stimulate collagen and elevate the scar base.
Deep, painful cysts are treated with intralesional corticosteroid injections for rapid resolution, alongside systemic treatment (oral antibiotics or isotretinoin) for long-term control.
Chest, back, and shoulder acne treated with salicylic acid peels, blue-light therapy, and prescription topicals. Body acne scars respond well to fractional laser resurfacing.
No two acne patients are the same. Your protocol is designed after a thorough assessment of your skin type, acne grade, hormonal history, and previous treatments.
A 30-minute consultation to map your acne type, identify triggers (hormonal, dietary, topical), and assess existing scars under dermoscopy. You leave with a personalised, written treatment plan on day one.
Your dermatologist prescribes the right combination of topicals — retinoids, azelaic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or antibiotic gels — based on your acne grade. A strict morning and night routine is documented and explained.
Monthly in-clinic sessions include medicated peels (salicylic, glycolic, mandelic) to unclog pores and reduce active breakouts. For grade II–III acne, professional extraction is performed under sterile conditions.
Scar treatment begins only after active acne is under control. Fractional CO₂, RF micro-needling, subcision, or Q-switch is selected based on scar type and depth.
After clearing, a maintenance protocol keeps skin clear — typically a low-dose retinoid, periodic superficial peels, and seasonal prescription adjustments.
Standardised clinical photographs at every session give you objective, side-by-side evidence of improvement. We track lesion count, scar depth, and pigmentation change.
Most clinics suppress acne temporarily. We identify and address the cause — whether hormonal, bacterial, or topical — to achieve lasting clearance, not just a temporary pause.
Every treatment plan is created and supervised by a qualified dermatologist. We prescribe regulated topicals and treatments that beauticians and aestheticians legally cannot.
For patients with hormonal acne (jawline, neck, cyclic flares), we assess androgen markers and coordinate hormonal management — the only way to achieve lasting results in these cases.
Indian skin (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) is prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. We use appropriate laser settings, mandatory priming, and careful sequencing to minimise this risk.
We never rush into scar treatments while active acne is present — a common mistake that worsens outcomes. Clearance first, scar treatment second.
