A consultation with a Dermatologist is recommended when the acne is severe and is found on many parts of the body. It is also advisable to get a consultation when you have had acne for decades and there is potential for scarring. Sudden onset of severe acne may indicate an underlying medical condition such as PCOS.

Based on the level of acne and your skin type, our certified dermatologists will determine what you need. There are various treatments available at Derma Grace:

1. Topical Acne treatments: Creams or Ointments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid that can be applied to the skin
2. Laser Acne Removal: Laser therapy includes a beam of light directed at the skin which destroys the bacteria and triggers the production of clear and smoother skin.
3. Chemical peels: A concentrated chemical solution is applied to the skin which is peeled off after a while and helps in removing dead skin cells

Most treatments are completely painless but patients do experience mild discomfort as treatments do tend to cause irritation as the skin around the acne affected area is already inflamed. This is where the role of skilled Dermatologists comes into play. Our licensed dermatologists understand the treatment requirements and prepare customized treatment plans to tackle acne and ensure effective results.

Avoid exposure to the sun and also protect the skin from extreme dryness. Avoid taking medicines without proper consultation from our Dermatologist. It is also important to stay hydrated before taking the treatment.

Some patients may experience redness and mild irritation in the treated area after the treatment. It is important to have a balanced diet after the treatment and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun as it can irritate the skin. Use a strong sunscreen to protect the skin and essential skin care is necessary for best results and avoid future breakouts.
