Erase your Acne Worries

with scientific medical treatments that actually work.

What is Acne?

Acne is a common skin condition that happens when hair follicles under the skin become clogged. Oil and dead skin cells plug the pores, and outbreaks of lesions (often called pimples or zits) can happen. Most often, the outbreaks occur on the face but can also appear on the back, chest, and shoulders. While many people see a decrease in acne occurrence by their thirties, it can persist or start in adulthood for some.

Causes of Acne Scars

Acne scars occur due to fibrosis of the skin tissue during the healing process. The body initially produces skin that looks and functions differently but gradually replaces it with skin that better matches the rest of the body. Several factors like size, type, and depth of the scar, as well as age and genetics, affect the fading of scars.

Who gets acne?

People of all races and ages get acne, but it is most common in teens and young adults. When acne appears during the teenage years, it is more common in males. Acne can continue into adulthood, and when it does, it is more common in women.

What are the types of acne?

Acne causes several types of lesions or pimples. Some types:

Blackheads: Reach the surface of the skin and open up.
Whiteheads: Stay under the skin and produce a white bump.
Pustules: Appear as small, pink bumps on the skin and can be tender to the touch.
Cysts: Are topped by white or yellow pus-filled lesions that may be red at the base.
Abscesses: Are large, painful solid lesions that are deep within the skin. Cause deep, painful, pus-filled lesions.

Basic Treatment Options

The primary treatments for Acne and Acne Scars consist of

Oral medications
Topically-applied cream

Some of these medications control the secretion of sebum and help reduce bacterial inflammation and hence, control active acne. Other medications work to reduce marks and scars. However, it is important to note that these medications differ based on an individual’s condition and medical history. Therefore, it is best that these are prescribed by a qualified dermatologist after a detailed examination.

Advanced Acne Treatments

Sometimes, to help resolve chronic acne, Dr. Shruti prescribes external interventions that are proven and scientific.

Medical Clean-up

A medical clean-up procedure includes extraction of comedones (whiteheads and blackheads) with a comedone extractor, after exposing the treatment area to steam or peels.
Medical (Chemical) Peels

Medical or Chemical Peels are solutions that when applied to the skin, carry out a controlled damage to the skin, which in turn helps reduce sebum production and bacterial inflammation. These also help get to rid of dead skin and boost generation of new skin cells. One can expect a reduction in active acne as well as marks and scars with this treatment.
Skin Resurfacing or Microneedling

This is one of the most effective treatments for acne scar reduction. The process employs a microneedling device like dermapen or dermaroller to induce a controlled injury in the treatment area. This process causes an increase in collagen generation in the treated area and hence, when the skin heals, it is smoother and suppler.
Dermal Fillers for Deep Acne Scars

For very deep scars, sometimes, the best solution is the use of dermal fillers.
Skin Resurfacing with Growth Factor Serums

Skin Resurfacing with Growth Factor Serums. In this procedure immediately after a microneedling of the affected area a natural serum with growth factors is applied. This helps in accelerated healing of the scars and often yields better results than only microneedling.
Doctor-supervised personal attention

Every patient’s treatment plan is created by Dr. Shruti, after a detailed conversation with the patient. The patient continues to receive direct, hands-on attention from Dr. Shruti throughout the treatment. This personalized commitment is what makes YouthVille Clinic the most sought after clinic for acne treatment in Mumbai.
