Finally clear — and finally confident.
From stubborn adult acne and pregnancy breakouts to deep old scars, Dr. Anitha builds a multi-layer treatment plan that clears active acne first and then meticulously reduces scars — safely and sustainably for Indian skin.
Treat the cause, not just the surface.
Acne isn't one disease — it's a spectrum. Hormonal acne, comedonal acne, cystic acne, pregnancy breakouts and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation each need different care.
At Skin Shine, every acne journey begins with a proper diagnosis: we evaluate hormones, diet, lifestyle, product use and skin type before prescribing anything. Only then do we build your plan.
Active acne is first calmed with customised medications and gentle clinical peels. Once the breakouts are controlled, we shift focus to scar revision — using the right technology for your scar type (boxcar, icepick, rolling or keloid).
Every protocol is calibrated for melanin-rich Indian skin, with zero tolerance for post-treatment pigmentation or rebound breakouts.
Every kind of acne & scar.
- Teenage & adult hormonal acne
- Cystic & nodular acne
- Back & chest (bacne) acne
- Pregnancy-safe acne protocols
- Blackheads & whiteheads
- Boxcar, icepick & rolling scars
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots)
- Keloid & hypertrophic scars
Treatments we may combine for you.
Medical Dermatology
Prescription topicals (retinoids, clindamycin, azelaic acid), oral medications (isotretinoin, spironolactone) and hormonal workups when relevant — the foundation of acne clearance.
Clinical Peels
Salicylic, mandelic and glycolic peels to unclog pores, reduce inflammation and fade dark spots — safe for Indian skin.
Acne Extractions & Comedone Removal
Sterile, in-office removal of blackheads, whiteheads and acne lesions for an instant smoother surface.
Microneedling RF
Radiofrequency + microneedles stimulate collagen to smooth rolling & boxcar scars — skin-tone-safe, with minimal downtime.
Fractional CO₂ Laser
For deeper scars — controlled micro-columns of laser remodel the skin, dramatically reducing scar depth.
Subcision + Filler
Releases tethered rolling scars; tiny filler boosts plump the depressions back to level.
A protocol built for Indian skin.
Root-Cause Analysis
We evaluate hormones, diet, stress and products before any prescription. No one-size protocols.
Multi-Modal Therapy
Medication + peels + technology — combined strategically for faster, more complete clearance.
Safe for Dark Skin Tones
Every peel & laser is calibrated to avoid post-inflammatory pigmentation — a common worry for brown skin.
Common questions, clear answers.
How soon will my acne clear?
Active inflammation often reduces within 2–3 weeks. Most patients see 70–80% clearance by the end of 3 sessions and full clearance by 8–12 weeks, depending on severity.
Will my scars ever go away completely?
Shallow scars can be reduced by 70–90%. Deep icepick scars typically improve by 40–60% — still a dramatic visual improvement. Realistic goals are set during your consultation.
Is isotretinoin safe?
When prescribed correctly with regular blood monitoring, isotretinoin is extremely effective and safe for severe nodulocystic acne. We use it only when appropriate, with full counselling.
Can I get acne treatment during pregnancy?
Yes — with pregnancy-safe protocols only. We avoid retinoids, salicylic acid and isotretinoin, and use azelaic acid, gentle peels and blue-light therapy instead.
Will the acne come back?
Not if the root cause is addressed. We build a long-term maintenance plan (homecare + periodic peels + lifestyle) to keep you clear for years.
