How the treatment works
Treatment begins with identifying the driver: excess oil, hormonal fluctuation, bacterial overgrowth, or an aggravating skincare routine. Prescription topicals and, where indicated, oral therapy bring inflammation down and prevent new lesions from forming.
Once the skin is calm, scars are addressed by type. Microneedling stimulates collagen for rolling scars, subcision releases tethered depressions, medical peels resurface pigmentation, and lasers refine overall texture. Most patients need a combination rather than a single modality.
What to expect at The Happy Skin Tales
Your first visit is a consultation, not a procedure. Dr. Suparna Das examines the concern, takes a history, and explains what is realistically achievable. Only then is a plan agreed, with the number of sessions and the cost confirmed before anything begins.
Every procedure is performed or directly supervised by the dermatologist. Aftercare instructions are written down, and a follow-up review is built into the plan rather than sold separately.
Frequently asked questions
Acne is a chronic condition with an underlying tendency. Clearing lesions is only half the work; maintenance therapy keeps the follicle from re-clogging. Stopping treatment the moment skin looks clear is the most common reason acne relapses.
Significant improvement is realistic; complete erasure is rarely honest to promise. With the right combination of subcision, microneedling, peels and lasers, most patients achieve a substantial, lasting smoothing of texture.
When prescribed and monitored by a dermatologist, yes. Doses are reviewed at each visit, and treatments are stepped down as your skin stabilises.
Bring them to your consultation. Many over-the-counter routines contain too many actives at once, which weakens the skin barrier and worsens breakouts.
