Skin care needs to be customized based on the presenting complaints.There are different ways to achieve a flawless skin after acne and it needs medical interventions and commitment on part of the patient.Acne treatment has multiple stages - to control new breakouts, to clear the sequelae (pigmentation and scars) and to prevent a relapse. An attempt to find out the root cause of acne should be made in every patient or else it keeps recurring. Each phase takes a couple of weeks before we move to the next phase of treatment.If you have active acne lesions, it should be controlled on priority basis.Acne scar and pores can be treated with subcisions, dermaroller, fractional CO2 lasers, chemical peels and likewise.Remember combining treatment modalities help to achieve desired results earlier. Your dermatologist will decide a treatment plan for you after a consultation.

Thanks for the question. Acne is an inflammatory problem and the inflammation from acne bumps can irritate the colour producing cells in the skin. This can result in darker (hyperpigmented) or lighter (hypopigmented) skin in the area of an acne bump. Discoloration from acne can be very frustrating. Here is how I treat it.
1) Treat and cure the patient's acne. This is most important. The inflammatory process of acne must be shut down in order to prevent skin discoloration. Each patient is different, however, all patient's must be put on a successful regimen for their acne before the discoloration can truly improve.
2) Treat the discoloration. There are multiple ways to help with the discoloration. The most often successful and important are to practice sun protection with strict sun screen use and to use a fade cream such as hydroquinone. In addition to these basic treatment, select patients may benefit from chemical peels, retinoid creams, and laser treatments.
