What Are SkinLab's
Acne Treatments
Acne can appear as blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, inflamed breakouts or recurring acne that leaves behind dark marks.
At SkinLab Pune, acne treatment begins with understanding your skin, breakout pattern, possible triggers and previous treatment history before recommending a personalised plan.
What Is Acne?
Acne develops when pores become blocked by excess oil, dead skin cells and other factors that contribute to inflammation.
It can range from mild blackheads and whiteheads to inflamed pimples and deeper breakouts.
Factors such as hormones, genetics, stress, skincare products and lifestyle may contribute, which is why treatment may differ from person to person.

Why Acne Treatment Should Be Personalised
Acne does not have one single cause or one treatment that works for everyone.
The SkinLab team considers factors such as the type and severity of acne, skin sensitivity, oiliness, hormonal influences, previous treatments and post-acne marks before recommending a treatment plan.
Active breakouts usually need to be brought under control before focusing extensively on acne-scar correction.
Acne Treatment Options at SkinLab Pune
INTENSE ACNE PEEL TREATMENT
At SkinLab, our Intense Acne Peel is designed to target acne at every stage — from early breakouts (Grade 0) to more stubborn flare-ups (Grade 3). This advanced, doctor-led treatment works through a four-step corrective action:
- Deep pore cleansing to clear blockages and prevent new eruptions.
- Regulation of excess sebum production.
- Elimination of acne-causing bacteria and surface impurities.
- Refinement of skin texture and reduction of post-acne marks or discolouration.
For lasting results, your doctor may recommend a personalised plan combining this peel with other evidence-based options such as targeted lasers, advanced peels etc. — all tailored to your skin’s needs.
SUBLATIVE REJUVENATION (eMatrix®)
A new generation of skin resurfacing, Sublative Rejuvenation uses fractional radio-frequency (RF) energy to gently heat the deeper layers of the skin while keeping the surface intact. This controlled heating triggers the body’s natural healing process, stimulating fresh collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer skin.
What makes it special?
- Safe and effective for a wider range of skin tones
- Noticeable improvement in skin texture and tone
- Minimal disruption to daily life compared to aggressive laser treatments
eMatrix® can help with:
- Acne scars and post-acne marks
- Skin texture refinement and rejuvenation
- Early signs of ageing, fine lines, and wrinkles
Depending on your skin needs, our doctors may also recommend combining Sublative Rejuvenation with other treatments such as targeted lasers, chemical peels, or prescription skincare for optimal results.
PROFESSIONAL PEELS
Professional (Medical Grade) peels speed up skin cell turnover essentially making them skin resurfacing and exfoliation
agents. The basic aim of chemical peels is to replace the outer, dead layers of tired, blemished and wrinkled skin to reveal
the underlying areas of fresher, younger looking skin. It also promotes the generation of collagen in the skin. SkinLab only
uses the highest quality, medical grade peels in all its treatments
Professional peels can effectively improve a wide variety of skin conditions including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sun-damaged skin
- Age spots
- Uneven pigmentation
- Acne & Clogged Pores
- Shallow acne scars
- Freckling
The SkinLab VitaGlow™ Peel
- Acne scars and post-acne marks
- Skin texture refinement and rejuvenation
- Early signs of ageing, fine lines, and wrinkles
The VitaGlow Peel at SkinLab is a comprehensive and powerful multivitamin peeling solution. It contains Vitamin A
(Retinol), Vitamin C and Vitamin B3 which work together to treat hyperpigmentation and eliminate signs of photoageing.
The purpose of the treatment is to stimulate the regeneration process in deeper layers of the skin.
MORPHEUS8
Fractional Radiofrequency Microneedling for Advanced Skin Renewal
Morpheus8 is a cutting-edge dermatological procedure that combines fractional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to remodel the skin’s deeper layers. By delivering controlled heat through ultrafine needles, it stimulates collagen and elastin production, remodels underlying tissue, and improves overall skin quality.
Clinically proven to address a range of medical and aesthetic concerns, Morpheus8 can:
- Reduce active acne and improve acne scarring
- Minimise enlarged pores
- Improve skin laxity on the face, neck, and body
- Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
- Even skin texture and tone
Because it works below the surface, results continue to improve for weeks after treatment, making it an excellent choice for those seeking visible, long-lasting skin renewal without surgery.
Perfect for: Acne & acne scars, skin laxity, enlarged pores, fine lines, uneven texture.
Carbon Glow Treatment
Carbon Glow Treatment, also known as the Carbon Laser Facial or Carbon Peel, is a powerful yet gentle skin rejuvenation treatment designed to instantly brighten and refine the skin. A thin layer of medical-grade carbon is applied to the face, which absorbs excess oil, dirt, and dead skin cells. When the laser passes over the carbon, it breaks it down along with all the impurities it has absorbed. This deep cleansing action helps unclog pores, reduce acne, and remove blackheads while also tightening the skin and stimulating collagen production. The result is immediately visible—smoother texture, reduced shine, and a fresh, radiant glow.
This treatment is ideal for people dealing with dull skin, oily skin, enlarged pores, mild pigmentation, or recurring blackheads. It is completely painless, requires no downtime, and delivers an instant refreshed appearance, making it a perfect pre-event facial. With regular sessions, Carbon Glow also helps improve skin tone, minimise pores, and enhance overall skin clarity. Safe for almost all skin types, this quick 20–25 minute procedure offers a powerful combination of exfoliation, purification, and rejuvenation—all in one treatment.

Teenage Acne Treatment in Pune
Teenage acne is common and may range from mild clogged pores to more inflamed breakouts.
Treatment should be selected according to age, acne severity, skin sensitivity and any previous skincare or medication use.
For patients under 18, consultation and treatment planning should involve a parent or guardian as appropriate.
Adult Acne Treatment in Pune
Acne can continue or begin during adulthood and may be influenced by factors such as hormones, stress, skincare products and other individual triggers.
Adult acne treatment may require a combination of clinic-based treatment, appropriate home care and management of contributing factors.
Treatment for Post-Acne Marks
After acne settles, flat brown or dark marks may remain on the skin. These are different from textural acne scars.
Treatment may include selected peels, pigmentation treatments or other approaches depending on the type of mark and skin tone.
If deeper or indented scars are present, a separate acne-scar treatment plan may be recommended.
When Can You Expect Results?
Acne usually improves gradually rather than after a single treatment.
The timeline varies according to acne severity, skin type, hormonal factors, treatment selected and adherence to the recommended treatment and home-care plan.
Some people may require ongoing maintenance to help control recurring breakouts.
Can Acne Come Back?
Yes. Acne can recur, particularly when underlying triggers such as hormonal changes, excess oil production, stress or unsuitable skincare remain present.
Treatment therefore often includes both active breakout management and a maintenance plan designed around the individual’s skin.
SkinLab's Approach to Acne Treatment

- Management of active acne before scar correction
- Experience treating Indian skin tones
- Multiple treatment options

What causes acne?
Acne may be influenced by factors such as excess oil production, clogged pores, hormones, genetics, stress and skincare products.
The combination of contributing factors can vary from person to person.
What is the best treatment for acne?
There is no single treatment that is best for every type of acne.
The appropriate approach depends on the acne type, severity, skin sensitivity, oiliness, previous treatments and other individual factors.

Yes. Teenage acne can be managed with treatment selected according to age, acne severity and skin sensitivity.
Patients under 18 should attend consultation with a parent or guardian as appropriate.

No.
Post-acne marks are usually flat areas of discolouration, while acne scars involve changes in skin texture such as depressions or raised areas.
They may require different treatment approaches.

Acne scars can often be improved, but the treatment depends on scar type, depth and skin characteristics.
Scar treatment is usually planned after active acne is adequately controlled.
How many acne treatment sessions are required?
The number of sessions varies depending on acne severity, treatment selected and individual response.
A treatment schedule is recommended after consultation.
Can acne come back after treatment?

Which SkinLab clinic in Pune offers acne treatment?
Acne consultations and treatments are available at SkinLab Pune, Boat Club Road.
What acne treatments does SkinLab offer?
SkinLab offers a comprehensive range including:
- Morpheus8 — radiofrequency microneedling for acne scars and active acne
- Intense Acne Peel — targeted chemical peel for acne-prone skin
- eMatrix® (Sublative Rejuvenation) — fractional radiofrequency for scar remodelling
- Professional Peels — customised chemical peels for acne management
- Carbon Glow — deep pore cleansing and oil control
Can SkinLab treat both active acne and acne scars?
Yes. Our doctors manage both active breakouts and post-acne scarring. Active acne is typically addressed first using medical-grade peels, carbon laser, and prescribed skincare. Once acne is controlled, scar remodelling treatments like Morpheus8 or eMatrix® can significantly improve skin texture.
What is Morpheus8 and how does it help with acne?
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with fractional radiofrequency energy. It penetrates deep into the dermis to remodel collagen, flattening acne scars, tightening pores, and improving overall skin texture. It also has antibacterial effects on sebaceous glands, making it effective for persistent adult acne. Most clients see progressive improvement over 3–6 months.
How many sessions are needed for acne treatment?
Active acne may be managed with 4–6 peel sessions spaced 2–3 weeks apart. Acne scar treatments like Morpheus8 typically require 3–4 sessions. Your treating doctor will provide a personalised plan at your consultation.
Is acne treatment at SkinLab suitable for teenagers?
Yes. Our doctors treat teenage acne patients using gentle yet effective protocols adjusted for age and skin sensitivity. A parental consultation is recommended for patients under 18 years of age.
How long does it take to see results from acne treatment?
Active acne typically improves within 2-4 weeks of starting treatment. Acne scars fade gradually over 8-12 weeks as collagen rebuilds. Deeper scars may require multiple sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Your dermatologist will outline a realistic timeline during consultation based on your acne severity and skin type.
Can acne scars be completely removed?
Complete removal depends on scar type and depth. Shallow post-acne marks often fade significantly with peels and lasers. Deeper pitted or rolling scars improve substantially but may not be 100% invisible. Your dermatologist will assess your scars and explain realistic improvement expectations. Most patients see 60-80% improvement with appropriate treatment.
Will my acne come back after treatment?
Active acne treatment requires a comprehensive approach—medical treatments reduce breakouts, but ongoing skincare and trigger management are essential. Your dermatologist will prescribe a maintenance skincare routine and may recommend periodic peels to sustain results. If acne triggers (diet, stress, hormones) persist, breakouts may recur without addressing root causes. We focus on identifying and managing your triggers for long-term control.
