Acne Treatment
A dermatologist-led approach to active acne and the scarring it can leave behind, tailored to your skin type and acne grade.
Acne is one of the most common reasons patients visit Prisha Skin & Hair Clinic, and it can show up at any age — from the teenage years through adulthood. Dr. Ankit Jain evaluates the type and grade of acne, your skin type, and possible triggers such as hormonal changes, stress, or product use before recommending a treatment plan.
Because acne responds differently from person to person, treatment is rarely a single step. It usually combines medical management with skincare adjustments, and scarring — if present — is addressed as a separate, later phase once active breakouts are controlled.
Who is this for?
Suitable for teenagers and adults dealing with persistent whiteheads, blackheads, inflamed or cystic acne, or acne scarring. Dr. Jain assesses acne grade, skin type, and any hormonal or lifestyle factors before recommending a plan.
What to expect
- 1In-person consultation and skin assessment to grade the acne and identify triggers
- 2A combination plan may include topical retinoids/antibiotics, oral medication, chemical peels, or in-clinic procedures depending on severity
- 3Scar-specific options such as microneedling or laser resurfacing are discussed separately once active acne is controlled
- 4Scheduled follow-ups to track response and adjust the plan
Downtime & Recovery
Most topical and oral regimens involve no downtime. In-clinic procedures like peels may cause mild redness or peeling for a few days.
