Acne Treatment in Pune at Eternis Skin Clinic

Acne is a common skin condition that can lead to recurring breakouts, persistent marks and scarring if not managed appropriately. Early, dermatologist-guided care can help control active acne, reduce the risk of future flare-ups and limit post-acne marks.

At Eternis, acne treatment begins with understanding your skin, the type of acne and its possible triggers. Based on this assessment, our dermatologists create a personalised treatment plan using clinically appropriate therapies and advanced procedures to manage breakouts, calm inflammation and support clearer, healthier-looking skin over time.

What is an Acne?

Acne, medically known as acne vulgaris, is a common skin condition that develops when excess oil, dead skin cells and other debris clog the pores, often leading to inflammation and breakouts. It can affect both men and women and is especially common during adolescence and early adulthood, although acne can occur at any age.

Breakouts usually develop in areas with a higher concentration of oil-producing glands, including:

What Causes Acne?

Acne can develop due to a combination of internal and external factors that influence oil production, pore congestion and inflammation. Identifying these underlying triggers can help dermatologists recommend a more targeted and personalised treatment approach.

Common factors associated with acne include:

  • Excess oil production: Excess sebum can make the skin oily and contribute to clogged pores.
  • Blockage of hair follicles: Oil, bacteria, and debris can clog hair follicles, leading to acne lesions.
  • Dead skin cell buildup: Accumulated dead skin cells can block pores and promote breakouts.
  • Inflammation: Inflammation in the skin can cause redness, swelling, and painful acne.
  • Changes in Cutibacterium acnes: Changes in this naturally occurring skin bacterium can contribute to acne development.
  • Hormonal fluctuations: Hormonal changes can increase oil production and trigger or worsen acne.
  • Genetic tendency: A family history of acne can increase your likelihood of developing it.
  • Certain medications or cosmetic products: Some medications and pore-clogging products may trigger or aggravate acne.
  • Stress and lifestyle factors: Stress, poor sleep, and certain lifestyle factors may worsen acne in some individuals.

Acne Treatments at Eternis Skin Clinic

There is no single treatment that works for everyone. At Eternis, treatment may include:

  • Medical Treatment: Targeted medicines can help control acne, reduce inflammation, and prevent new breakouts.
  • In-Clinic Procedures: Dermatologist-led procedures can help manage active acne and improve skin texture and acne-related concerns.
  • Prescription Skincare: Clinically prescribed products can help regulate oil, unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and support skin healing.
  • Combination Treatment: Different treatments may be combined to address multiple causes of acne and achieve more effective, long-term results.

The treatment plan is customized after assessing the type and severity of acne, skin type, individual concerns, and previous treatments.

Acne Procedures

Procedures can be an important part of acne treatment in selected patients and may complement medical therapy.

1. Acne Peels

Dermatologist-selected chemical peels can help improve active acne, excess oiliness, and clogged pores. Depending on the patient’s skin type and acne, treatments may include:

  • Black Peel
  • Obagi Blue Peel Radiance
  • Salicylic Acid–Azelaic Acid Combination Peels

A course of treatments may be recommended depending on the severity of acne and the patient’s treatment response.

2. Comedone Extraction

Professional extraction may be performed for selected blackheads and whiteheads under appropriate hygienic conditions.

3. Acne Peel + Comedone Extraction

For significant comedonal congestion, combining chemical peeling with professional extraction may provide a more comprehensive approach to clearing clogged pores.

4. Carbon Laser Peel

Carbon laser peel may be considered for selected patients with oily, congested, and acne-prone skin. It can help improve excess oiliness, congested pores, and overall skin texture.

5. Medical Acne Treatment

Depending on the type and severity of acne, medical treatment may include dermatologist-prescribed topical or oral medications.

Can Acne Be Completely Cured?

Acne can usually be effectively controlled, but it may have periods of improvement and recurrence. The primary goals of treatment are to:

  1. Control active acne – Reduce existing breakouts and bring inflammation under control.
  2. Prevent new breakouts – Minimise clogged pores and reduce the likelihood of future acne.
  3. Reduce inflammation – Calm redness, swelling, and irritation associated with active acne.
  4. Maintain long-term control – Support clearer skin and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Consistent treatment and maintenance are often more important than short-term aggressive treatment.

Our Approach

At Eternis, acne treatment is not based on a single procedure or a standard package. We first identify the type and severity of acne, assess the skin and previous treatment history, and then recommend an appropriate combination of medical treatment, procedures and skincare.

The goal is not just to treat today’s pimples — it is to control acne, prevent new breakouts and minimise long-term scarring.
