Acne is one of the most common skin conditions affecting teenagers and adults. Persistent acne can cause inflammation, pimples, blackheads, whiteheads and painful breakouts. When acne heals, it may leave behind acne marks, pigmentation or permanent acne scars.
At SkinHealth, Mira Road, Dr Safa Patrick, a dermatologist and skin specialist, provides personalised acne treatment and acne scar treatment in Mira Road based on the patient's age, skin type, acne severity, medical history and type of scarring.
Treatment may include dermatologist-prescribed topical or oral medicines, acne peels, skincare, lifestyle guidance and selected procedures for acne scars such as microneedling, PRP or laser-based treatments when clinically appropriate.
The objective is to control active acne, reduce the risk of new breakouts, prevent scarring and improve the appearance and texture of existing acne scars.
Acne Treatment in Mira Road
Acne can appear differently in every patient. Some people have occasional pimples, while others may experience persistent inflammatory or cystic acne.
Common forms of acne include:
- Blackheads and whiteheads
- Red or inflamed pimples
- Pus-filled acne lesions
- Painful nodules and cysts
- Hormonal or adult acne
- Acne affecting the face, chest or back
Dr Safa Patrick evaluates the type and severity of acne before recommending a suitable treatment plan.
Depending on the condition, acne treatment may include prescription topical medicines, oral medications, anti-acne treatments, chemical peels and personalised skincare.
Early treatment can help control active acne and reduce the risk of long-term acne marks and scars.
Acne Scar Treatment in Mira Road
-
Acne scars can remain after active acne has healed and may affect the texture and appearance of the skin.
Not every acne mark is an acne scar. Some patients develop post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or redness, while others develop depressed or raised scars.
Common types of acne scars include:
Ice Pick Scars
These are narrow, deeper depressions that extend into the skin.
Boxcar Scars
These scars have defined edges and can appear as shallow or deeper depressions.
Rolling Scars
Rolling scars create an uneven skin texture because of changes beneath the skin surface.
Raised Acne Scars
Some individuals develop raised scars following skin inflammation or injury.
Because different scars respond differently to treatment, a dermatologist should assess the type, depth and severity of acne scars before selecting a procedure.
