Understanding Acne on Indian Skin

Acne is no longer just a teenage concern; in Gurgaon’s high-pollution environment, adult acne has become increasingly common across the entire city. While we treat patients from all over Gurgaon and NCR, we see a high volume of cases from our neighbors in Sector 52, Ardee City, Sushant Lok, and Golf Course Road, where environmental stressors frequently trigger stubborn breakouts

​

Why is Indian skin different? Indian skin is rich in melanin, making it more prone to Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH). If you pop a pimple, it leaves a dark spot that lasts for months. This is why "DIY remedies" often backfire.

​

At Dermabliss, we categorize your acne into grades:

• Comedonal: Whiteheads and blackheads (clogged pores).

• Inflammatory: Red, painful papules.

• Cystic/Nodular: Deep, painful lumps that cause the worst scarring.

 

 

Our Advanced Treatment Protocols

Dr. Pragya Punj uses a "multimodal approach", combining oral medication with procedural dermatology for faster clearance.

​

A. Chemical Peels (The "Lunchtime" Fix)

Best for active acne and superficial marks. We use medical-grade acids to exfoliate the clogged top layer.

• Salicylic Peel: Lipophilic (oil-loving) acid that dives deep into pores to dissolve oil.

• Black Peel / Jessner’s Peel: Excellent for drying out active acne instantly.

• Retinol Peel: For anti-aging benefits along with acne control.

 

B. Carbon Laser Peel ("Hollywood Facial")

A layer of liquid carbon is applied to the face, penetrating deep into the pores. A Q-Switched Laser then blasts the carbon away, taking dead skin and excess oil with it.

• Best for: Oily skin, open pores, and instant party glow.

​

 

Acne Scar Revision: Beyond Creams 

Creams cannot fix deep pits (atrophic scars). For texture repair, we physically remodel the collagen.

​

A. MNRF (Microneedling Radiofrequency)

The gold standard for acne scars in Gurgaon. It uses tiny gold-plated needles to deliver heat energy deep into the dermis.

• Mechanism: It creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger the body’s natural healing, filling in the scars with new collagen.

• Downtime: Redness for 24-48 hours.

 

B. CO2 Fractional Laser

For severe, boxcar, or rolling scars. This ablative laser removes thin layers of skin to reveal fresh, unscarred skin underneath.

 

C. Subcision

For scars that are "tethered" or pulled down by fibers under the skin. Dr. Pragya manually releases these fibers with a fine needle, allowing the skin to pop back up.
