Acne Treatment in Bhubaneswar

Are you having trouble with stubborn pimples or recurring breakouts? The Skinstitute in Bhubaneswar provides individualized, evidence-based acne treatment plans that go beyond band-aid solutions, regardless of whether you’re dealing with adult acne, hormonal flare-ups, or persistent cystic blemishes. With a combination of contemporary topical, oral, and procedural dermatological treatments, our goals are to reduce scarring, reduce inflammation, stop future breakouts, and restore your trust in your skin.

Treatment Overview

From mild comedonal acne to nodulocystic and scarring acne, we treat all forms and severities of acne at The Skinstitute. Your skin type, acne severity, lifestyle, and medical background all play a role in creating a personalized treatment plan. The main modalities are as follows:

  1. Topical Treatment

Consists of benzoyl peroxide, retinoids, salicylic acid, and azelaic acid. These target clogged pores, normalize skin cell turnover, and lessen inflammation.

  1. Antibiotics applied topically

Used to treat inflammatory acne. In order to prevent resistance, erythromycin or clindamycin are frequently used in conjunction with benzoyl peroxide to help reduce bacteria and soothe redness.

  1. Oral antibiotics

For moderate to severe acne, especially when it affects large areas (such as the chest and back), doxycycline and minocycline are prescribed.

  1. Hormonal Treatment

Oral contraceptives or anti-androgens (such as spironolactone) can help women with hormonal acne control their hormone fluctuations and sebum production.

  1. Accutane, or oral isotretinoin

Suggested for acne that is severe, cystic, or resistant to treatment. Many patients experience long-term remission from isotretinoin, which targets the four main causes of acne: bacteria, inflammation, clogged pores, and oil production.

Step-by-Step Procedure: Acne Treatment at The Skinstitute

Before Your Visit:
  • Consultation & Skin Assessment: A dermatologist examines your skin, acne type, triggers, lifestyle, and medical history during a consultation and skin assessment.
  • Pre-care instructions: Do not use exfoliants or other active skincare products two to three days before your appointment. On the day of the consultation, wash your face with a gentle soap.
During the Procedure (20–30 min):
  • Step 1: Preparing and cleansing the skin
  • Step 2: Applying specific topical treatments or procedures (such as LED therapy or chemical peels).
  • Step 3: If necessary, explain and begin oral prescriptions
  • Step 4: Instruction on skincare practices and the schedule for follow-up

Comfort: The majority of treatments are painless and non-invasive. Active procedures may cause very little discomfort.

Aftercare & Downtime:

  • Avoid: strenuous exercise, perspiration, makeup (for a full day), and exposure to the sun.
  • Timeline of Results:

      Week 2: Inflammation decreases

      Weeks 4 and 6: Less frequent breakouts

      Week 8+: Less scarring, improved skin texture, and clarity

  • Support: To achieve optimal efficacy, treatment must be adjusted and monitored continuously. 
Usually affecting the face, neck, chest, shoulders, and back, acne is a widespread skin disorder marked by the growth of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, cysts, or nodules on the skin.

Reasons:

The main cause of acne is the skin’s sebaceous glands’ excessive production of sebum, which can clog pores with germs and dead skin cells. Hormonal fluctuations can cause an increase in sebum production, especially during menstruation, puberty, or pregnancy. Genetics, specific drugs, and nutritional considerations are additional factors.

Who can get it:

Acne affects people of all ages, but it’s most common during adolescence and early adulthood due to hormonal fluctuations. However, it can persist into adulthood and occasionally develop in older adults. Factors such as genetics, hormonal fluctuations, and lifestyle habits can influence an individual’s susceptibility to acne.

Common treatment options:

  1. Topical therapies: By unclogging pores, lowering inflammation, and eliminating bacteria, over-the-counter or prescription topical treatments containing chemicals like salicylic acid, retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, or antibiotics can help decrease acne.
  2. Oral drugs: To target acne-causing bacteria, manage hormone levels, or reduce oil production, doctors may give oral medications such as antibiotics, hormonal therapy (such as female birth control pills), or isotretinoin (Accutane) in situations of moderate to severe acne.

Procedures:

Dermatological procedures such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser therapy, or photodynamic therapy may be recommended

 

  1. Lifestyle changes: Acne can also be controlled by implementing a skincare regimen that includes mild washing and moisturizing, steering clear of harsh products and excessive scrubbing, and upholding a balanced diet and way of life.

Treatment effectiveness can vary depending on the type and severity of acne, so it’s essential to consult a dermatologist for personalized advice and treatment recommendations.
