Acne is more than just a teenage concern—it can affect anyone, at any age, and often leaves behind lasting reminders in the form of scars and pigmentation. As a dermatologist with years of experience managing acne in all its forms, I understand not only the medical but also the emotional toll it can take. The good news? Today, with scientific advances and personalized treatment protocols, clear, healthy skin is within reach.
Understanding Acne: A Deeper Look
Acne develops when pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. It manifests as whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, or deeper cystic lesions, commonly affecting the face, chest, and back. Hormonal fluctuations, stress, lifestyle, and unsupervised skincare can all contribute to its persistence.
Many patients delay treatment or seek help from unqualified professionals, hoping acne will resolve. Unfortunately, untreated or inadequately managed acne often leads to scarring—textural changes in the skin that can be difficult to treat without professional intervention.
Acne Scars: Why Early Intervention Matters
Scars form due to inflammation that damages the deeper layers of skin. Common types include atrophic (depressed), hypertrophic (raised), and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark marks). Treating acne early is the most effective way to prevent scarring.
At KIMS Hospital, Thane, I offer a comprehensive, customized approach to acne and acne scars—combining medical treatments, lifestyle modifications, and cutting-edge aesthetic dermatology.
What Treatments Can Help?
Depending on your skin type and severity, treatments may include:
• Prescription skincare: Retinoids, antibiotics, or hormonal therapy.
• Chemical peels: To reduce active acne and post-acne pigmentation.
• Microneedling & PRP: For collagen remodeling and scar improvement.
• Laser therapy: Targeting pigmentation and texture.
• Subcision and TCA Cross: For deeper atrophic scars.
Each patient’s skin tells a unique story, and treatment must be equally individualized.
