Science Meets Skin
Acne Treatment | Advanced Dermatologist Care
Acne is one of the most common skin concerns affecting both teenagers and adults. At Derma MD Clinics, our dermatologists provide science-based acne treatments that target the root causes of breakouts, reduce inflammation, and prevent future flare-ups.
What Is Acne Treatment?
Beyond Temporary Fixes for Breakouts
Acne treatment focuses on controlling breakouts, reducing inflammation, and preventing long-term skin damage such as acne scars. Dermatologist-guided treatments combine medical skincare, advanced technologies, and customized treatment plans to address different types of acne.
Depending on the severity of acne, treatments may include topical medications, chemical peels, laser therapy, or other dermatologist-recommended procedures that help restore clearer and healthier skin.
What causes Acne?
Acne develops when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Several internal and external factors can trigger or worsen acne breakouts.
-
Hormonal fluctuations
-
Excess oil production
-
Bacterial growth
-
Certain skincare or cosmetic products
-
Stress
-
Diet and lifestyle factors
- If you wear makeup, do your skincare first and then apply makeup. Wash your makeup brushes regularly and take off makeup every night by double cleansing your skin.
How can we prevent getting acne?
You cannot completely stop acne, especially when your hormones change, but you can lower the chance of getting acne by doing these things:
1. Maintain skin care routine
Wash your face twice daily
2. Sun safety
Protect your skin from excessive sun exposure
3. Hands off your face
Avoid touching your face with your hands, as this can transfer oil
and dirt, leading to breakouts
4. Choose non-comedogenic products
Choose oil-free products, as these are less likely to clog pores
5. Manage stress
6. Regular exercise
7. Balanced Diet
Consume a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, dry fruits, whole grains,
and lean proteins. Avoid dairy and high glycemic index foods like
sugar, jaggery, and honey.
If you wear makeup, do your skincare first and then apply makeup. Wash your makeup brushes regularly and take off makeup every night by double cleansing your skin.
Triggers and Risk factors that worsen acne?
● Hormonal imbalance – PCOS and other endocrine disorders
● Medications- steroids, Vit B12 injections, Vit C topical formulations, anticonvulsants, hormonal contraceptive pills.
● Foods with high glycemic index (sugar) , dairy (skim milk , paneer, cheese), whey protein
● Smoking
● Cosmetics – cleansers, creams, moisturizers, and other beauty products with high oil content, harsh scrubbing. Trying new acne treatments frequently.
● Stress levels

● Picking/popping or squeezing pimples
Types of acne
Acne or pimples range from blackheads and whiteheads to small-large red raised bumps which can be sometimes pus filled based on severity.
Complications of acne
Sequele of active acne is more worrisome as it leads to pigmentation, scarring and rough texture of skin which can be hugely disturbing and can affect your mental health, your quality of life and your confidence
We believe in a holistic approach to treating acne as acne is a multifactorial issue. From your diet, exercise, hormonal issues, your skin care practices, to the environment, everything can affect your acne, and we believe that all of these issues need to be treated to effectively cure it.
The fight against acne is not a quick fix, and short cuts usually leave you with lasting pigmentation and scarring. It is important to understand the physiology of the skin and treat it scientifically. We first address your active acne and pigmentation which usually takes 2-6 months to settle and finally the scars if present are treated with procedures.
The various treatments we offer are
● Diet and lifestyle correction
● Counselling
● Medical treatments – oral and topical medications
● Comedone extraction
● Chemical peels
● Microdermabrasions
● Subcision
● TCA cross
● Microneedling with radiofrequency
● Lasers
● Platelet-rich plasma therapy
● Medifacials – LED light therapy, carbon laser toning
Types of Acne
Acne can appear in different forms depending on how the pores become clogged and how the skin reacts to inflammation. Understanding the type of acne helps dermatologists choose the most effective treatment approach.
1. Whiteheads
Whiteheads are small, closed bumps that form when pores become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Because the pore remains closed, the trapped material appears as a small white or flesh-colored bump on the skin.
2. Blackheads
Blackheads occur when clogged pores remain open. The surface of the trapped oil and dead skin cells oxidizes when exposed to air, turning the bump dark in color.
3. Papules
Papules are small, red, inflamed bumps that develop when clogged pores become irritated. They may feel tender and are often an early sign of inflammatory acne.
4. Pustules
Pustules are similar to papules but contain pus at the center. They appear as red bumps with a white or yellowish tip and are commonly referred to as pimples.
5. Nodules
Nodules are large, painful lumps that form deep beneath the skin's surface. They develop when severe inflammation affects deeper layers of the skin.
6. Cystic Acne
Cystic acne is one of the most severe forms of acne. It involves large, painful cysts filled with pus beneath the skin and often requires professional dermatological treatment to prevent scarring.
