Effective Acne Treatments — Explained by Expert Dermatologist
Acne can emerge as whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, or cysts. It can be caused by decreased skin turnover and shedding, increased sebum production, and certain types of skin bacteria. Other factors include genetics, hormones, mechanical stimulation (friction, rubbing, plucking, and squeezing), specific medications and skin care, and cosmetics. Acne, if left untreated, can lead to skin color changes and psychosocial and emotional distress.

The Popular Acne Treatments Performed at Charma Clinic
1. Topical Creams and Medications
The most common treatment advised for acne by expert dermatologists is medical treatments (creams and tablets) containing antibiotics, retin-oids, and oil-removing cleansers. If one wants to avoid oral medications, the dermatologist advises procedures such as peels, lasers, IPL, etc. At times, acne could also develop because of fluctuations in hormonal changes, i.e., irregular periods, weight gain, and growth of facial hair in women. For such instances, the experts suggest hormonal treatment.
2. Chemical Peels
Chemical peels can be an effective treatment option to treat acne. It can also be done on the skin to improve its appearance. The procedure works by exfoliating the outermost layer of skin, which can help to unclog pores and remove dead skin cells that contribute to acne. Chemical peels also stimulate the growth of new skin cells and increase collagen production, which can help improve the skin’s overall texture and appearance. The type of chemical peel used for acne treatment depends on the severity of the acne and the individual’s skin type. Superficial or medium-depth peels are often recommended for mild to moderate acne and provide the desired results without causing visible skin damage.
Some common types of chemical peels used for acne treatment include salicylic acid peel, glycolic acid peel, and TCA (trichloroacetic acid) peel.
It’s important to remember that chemical peels can cause temporary side effects, such as redness, peeling, and sensitivity to the sun. It’s important to follow the post-operative instructions provided by the expert dermatologist and avoid sun exposure to reduce the risk of complications.
3. Laser and Light-Based Devices
Lasers can be used to treat various skin problems, such as treating pigmentation caused due to acne or redness associated with acne. At Charma Clinic, the expert dermatologist uses world-class lasers to effectively treat skin conditions and rejuvenate the skin by boosting collagen production. IPL is a device that is similar to a laser and works by reducing redness and active pimples. It targets a pigment called porphyrin produced by the bacteria that infects the pimple or zits. It also helps to reduce inflammation and any scarring associated with it. The experts also use non-ablative lasers when patients can not miss their work after each session. However, fractional ablative lasers are known for providing the best results.
