The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated. Please send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.

Acne is a very common and annoying problem and if left to it’s own devices can really damage the skin long term in the form of scars and pigmentation.
Based on the severity of the acne you can go mild with just topical treatment or if there is significant acne with scarring we can go for various procedures that guarantee far better results. One such procedure is rafiofrequency microneedling where radio frequency powered needles in a 1cm2 space pierce through the skin and induce tissue repair and gradually over a period of once monthly sesssions for 4 sessions the skin becomes smoother and more resilient
