Acne is rarely just a skin problem. Hormones, diet, stress, the products you use and even your pillow cover can play a part. The first step is working out what is driving your breakouts.
From there, Dr. Kajal combines in-clinic procedures such as medical peels and extractions with a home routine that is simple enough to actually follow.
What is acne treatment?
Acne treatment is a medical plan to clear active pimples and prevent new ones. It combines in-clinic procedures, such as chemical peels, extraction and LED light, with prescription creams or medicines when they are needed.
Who is acne treatment for?
- Active pimples and cysts
- Blackheads and whiteheads
- Oily, congested skin
- Back and body acne
It may not be the right time if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active infection in the treatment area, or have reacted badly to a similar treatment before. Dr. Kajal checks this at your consultation.

How does acne treatment work?
- Skin assessment: Dr. Kajal looks at the type of acne, your skin type and what may be triggering it.
- In-clinic treatment: a medical peel, extraction of blackheads and whiteheads, or LED light, depending on your skin.
- Home routine: a simple cleanser, treatment cream and sunscreen plan, with medicines only if needed.
- Review every 2 to 3 weeks, adjusting the plan as your skin settles.
When will you see results?
Most people see fewer new breakouts within 4 to 6 weeks and clearer skin in 2 to 3 months. Severe or hormonal acne can take longer and may need medicines alongside. Typical course: 4–6 sittings, 2–3 weeks apart.
What to expect on the day
Your first visit includes a skin assessment and a look at what you are using now. Peels and extractions take 30 to 45 minutes and you can go back to work the same day. Most people see fewer new breakouts within 4 to 6 weeks.
Aftercare
- Don't pick or squeeze spots, especially after extraction.
- Use a light, non-comedogenic moisturiser and sunscreen every day.
- Avoid scrubs and harsh face washes while your skin heals.
- Change your pillow cover twice a week.
Is acne treatment safe?
Yes. Peels, extraction and LED are well-established acne treatments. Mild redness or dryness for a day or two is common. Some acne medicines are not suitable in pregnancy, so tell Dr. Kajal if you are pregnant or planning to be.
How much does acne treatment cost in Mumbai?

Acne Treatment: frequently asked questions
Will my acne come back after treatment?
Acne can flare with hormones or stress, but a good maintenance routine keeps most people clear. You will get a plan for after the course ends.
Can acne treatment remove old marks too?
Active acne is treated first. Dark marks usually fade with peels and toning, while pitted scars need scar treatment once the acne is under control.
What causes adult acne?
Common causes in adults are hormonal changes, PCOS, stress, heavy or pore-clogging skincare and some medicines. Finding the trigger is part of your first consultation.
Can I treat acne with home remedies instead?
Mild acne may settle with a good routine, but persistent or painful acne is best treated by a doctor to prevent scars and dark marks.
