Acne Treatment
Treat active acne, marks & pigmentation at Medicutis with clinical peels, IPL & Carbon Laser. Safe for Indian skin. Dermatologist-guided in Delhi.
Salicylic Peel
If you have blackheads, whiteheads, or oily breakout-prone skin, this is the peel made for you. Salicylic acid is oil-soluble — meaning it actually gets inside the pore and cleans it out, not just the surface.
Why patients love it:
- Clears blackheads and whiteheads deep within pores
- Reduces active acne and inflammation
- Controls excess oil and shine
- Calms redness and irritation
- Fades post-acne marks over time
Best for: Active acne, oily skin, clogged pores, comedonal acne (blackheads/whiteheads)
Clear your skin with Salicylic Peel at Medicutis
Glycolic Peel
Once the acne is clearing, this is what helps remove what’s left behind — the marks, the texture, the uneven tone. Glycolic acid resurfaces the skin and stimulates new collagen, so your skin actually regenerates.
Why patients love it:
- Resurfaces skin and fades post-acne marks
- Smooths rough and uneven skin texture
- Stimulates collagen for improved skin quality
- Brightens dull, acne-damaged skin
- Progressive results with each session
Best for: Post-acne pigmentation, mild scars, uneven texture, combination skin
Resurface your skin with Glycolic Peel at Medicutis
Lactic Peel
The gentlest of the AHA peels — and the most hydrating. Great for first-timers, or if your skin tends to react easily. It brightens while it heals, which is a rare combination.
Why patients love it:
- Gentle exfoliation safe for sensitive skin
- Hydrates and brightens simultaneously
- Reduces mild acne and post-inflammatory marks
- Strengthens the skin barrier
- Suitable for darker Indian skin tones
Best for: Sensitive acne-prone skin, dry skin with acne, beginners to chemical peels
Gently clarify your skin with Lactic Peel
Black Peel
For skin that hasn’t responded to milder treatments. The Black Peel goes deeper — a multi-acid formula that resurfaces down to the level where stubborn acne scars and pigmentation live. There’s some peeling involved (3–7 days), but the results are worth it.
Why patients love it:
- Multi-depth resurfacing for stubborn acne scars
- Significantly reduces deep pigmentation
- Stimulates collagen regeneration in the deeper layers
- Tightens enlarged pores
- Long-lasting results with a series of sessions
Best for: Stubborn acne scars, deep pigmentation, significant skin textural damage

Bio Re Peel
A patented Italian peel that does two things at once — exfoliates and regenerates. The TCA breaks down the old while a biostimulating complex of amino acids and vitamins builds the new. Much less downtime than regular TCA peels.
Why patients love it:
- TCA 35% for deep, predictable peeling
- Stimulates collagen and elastin production
- Improves active acne and reduces oil
- Addresses both acne and early scarring together
- Visible results with minimal recovery
Best for: Moderate acne with early scarring, oily congested skin, active papulopustular acne
Regenerate and clarify with Bio Re Peel
PRX+ Peel (PRX-T33)
Zero peeling. Zero downtime. But real, deep results. PRX+ uses TCA in a clever formulation that sends it straight to the dermis without touching the surface — which means no flaking, no redness, no taking time off.
Why patients love it:
- Deep collagen stimulation with absolutely no visible peeling
- Return to normal immediately post-treatment
- Visibly improves atrophic acne scars
- Lightens acne pigmentation through kojic acid
- Safe for all skin types including darker tones
Best for: Acne scars, skin laxity, pigmentation — ideal for busy schedules and zero downtime

IPL Treatment for Acne
Did you know light can kill acne bacteria? IPL targets the bacteria responsible for inflammatory acne AND reduces the oil glands that feed it — an antibiotic-free pathway to clearer skin.
Why patients love it:
- Destroys acne bacteria without antibiotics
- Reduces sebaceous gland overactivity
- Treats papules, pustules and nodules
- Fades post-acne redness and marks
- Also helps concurrent pigmentation
Best for: Inflammatory acne, hormonal acne, antibiotic-resistant acne, post-acne marks

Carbon Laser Peel (Hollywood Peel)
The Hollywood celebrity treatment — for good reason. Carbon lotion is applied, then a laser passes over it, pulling out everything trapped in your pores and destroying acne bacteria with thermal energy. Pores shrink. Skin glows. No downtime.
Why patients love it:
- Deeply cleans pores — removes oil, debris and bacteria
- Controls oil gland activity long-term
- Shrinks visible pores after just one session
- Instantly brightens acne-damaged skin
- Safe for regular monthly maintenance
Best for: Oily skin, acne, blackheads, enlarged pores

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes acne?
Acne is commonly caused by excess oil production, clogged pores, bacteria, hormonal fluctuations, genetics, stress, and certain lifestyle factors.
Can acne be treated permanently?
Acne can be effectively controlled and significantly reduced with the right treatment plan. While some individuals may experience occasional breakouts, consistent treatment and maintenance help prevent recurrence.
Which acne treatment is best for my skin?
The best treatment depends on your acne type, severity, skin type, and underlying cause. A dermatologist consultation helps create a personalised treatment plan.
How long does acne treatment take to show results?
Visible improvements typically begin within 4–8 weeks, depending on the treatment used and severity of acne. Some treatments may show faster results for inflammation and active breakouts.
Do acne treatments help with acne scars and marks too?
Yes. Many advanced treatments target both active acne and post-acne concerns like scars, pigmentation, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture.
Is acne treatment safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, when supervised by a dermatologist. Treatments are customised according to skin sensitivity, acne grade, and tolerance levels.
Can adults get acne too?
Absolutely. Adult acne is common and often linked to hormones, stress, cosmetics, diet, or underlying skin conditions.
Will my acne come back after treatment?
Acne can recur if triggers are not managed. Proper skincare, maintenance sessions, and lifestyle modifications help maintain results.
What's the best peel for my skin?
It depends on your skin type, acne severity, and what you want to address. Your dermatologist at Medicutis will assess and recommend. Most patients start with Salicylic Peel for active acne and move to resurfacing peels for marks.
How many sessions will I need? Is there any downtime?
Active acne typically responds within 3–6 sessions, 2–4 weeks apart. Scars and marks take longer — usually 6–10 sessions for meaningful improvement. Most peels (Salicylic, Lactic, Glycolic, PRX+, Carbon Laser) have minimal redness that resolves in hours. The Black Peel and Bio Re Peel involve 3–7 days of visible peeling — your doctor will tell you exactly what to expect.
