Types of acne

Different types of acne need different treatment, so a good plan starts with a proper look at your skin and your history.
Treating active acne
How we treat acne
Medical treatment
Where your doctor thinks it is right, we use prescription medicines to bring acne under control. They are chosen for your acne type and your health.
Acne-prone facials
Facials such as HydraFacial for oily and acne-prone skin, and enzyme facials, help clear pores and calm skin between medical treatments.
Chemical peels
Peels help with clogged pores and post-acne marks, and are used as part of a plan.
Acne scars and marks
Treating acne scars
Once acne is under control, we treat what it left behind. The right treatment depends on the type of scar, so we sort that out first.
- Ice-pick scars: narrow, deep pits
- Boxcar scars: wider dents with sharp edges
- Rolling scars: soft, wave-like dips
- Red or brown marks left after pimples
- Rough, uneven skin texture
Microneedling and MNRF
Tiny needles make controlled micro-channels, and your skin rebuilds itself as it heals. Microneedling and MNRF (with radiofrequency heat for deeper work) are common choices for pitted and rough skin.
Subcision for rolling and boxcar scars
Some scars are pulled down by fibrous bands under the skin. Subcision cuts those bands so the skin can lift. We use a radiofrequency-assisted cannula, and it is often paired with microneedling.
Laser toning for dark marks
If your marks are mostly brown or uneven in tone, laser toning can be added.

Honest expectations
How long does treatment take?
Acne rarely clears overnight. Most plans take several weeks before you see a clear change, and hormonal or cystic acne can take longer. Scars improve gradually over a series of sessions. Treatment can make them shallower and skin smoother, but it does not erase every scar. Your skin can be dry or sensitive at first with some treatments, and your doctor will tell you what to expect.
Please avoid picking or squeezing pimples. It can deepen marks and cause scars.

Straight answers about acne & acne scar treatment, from our Sector 65 clinic in Gurugram.
It depends on your type of acne. Mild acne may respond to facials and peels with the right skincare, while inflamed or cystic acne often needs medical treatment. A dermatologist recommends the right plan after seeing your skin.
Most people see a clear change after several weeks, and full control can take longer. Your doctor will explain what is realistic for your skin.
Yes. Hormonal acne, often on the jaw and chin, is treated with a plan that looks at the cause as well as the pimples.
Facials can help clear pores and calm skin, but they work best alongside medical treatment for active acne, not on their own.
It depends on the type of scar. Pitted scars often do well with microneedling or MNRF, and rolling scars may need subcision as well. Your doctor recommends the mix after seeing your skin.
Treatment can make scars shallower and skin smoother, but it does not always remove them completely. Results differ from person to person.
Subcision releases the fibrous bands under certain depressed scars so the skin can rise and even out. It is often combined with other treatments.
Treatments are chosen for your skin type and tone, with extra care for pigmentation-prone skin.
The cost depends on the treatments in your plan and the number of sessions. Our doctor explains it at your consultation.
