Active Acne Treatment in Pune
RecoSMA Laser treatment for active acne at Arra Aesthetics
Active acne can cause persistent breakouts, inflammation and skin marks. At Arra
Aesthetics, RecoSMA Laser is used to treat active acne and help reduce new breakouts.

What is Active Acne Treatment?
Active acne treatment aims to reduce existing acne and help control further breakouts. Acne develops when hair follicles and sebaceous glands become blocked, leading to pimples and other types of acne lesions.
At Arra Aesthetics, RecoSMA Laser is used for active acne. The laser works on the skin and subcutaneous tissue and uses a photomechanical effect to trigger a tissue regeneration response.
The treatment can be used for acne affecting areas such as:
- Face
- Neck
- Shoulders
- Back
- Other areas of the body
The appropriate treatment depends on the type, severity and location of your acne.

What Concerns Can Active Acne Treatment Address?
Persistent Acne Breakouts
Active acne can cause repeated pimples and inflammation. Treatment may help reduce the severity of active breakouts.
Pustules
Pustules are red bumps with a white or yellow fluid-filled top. Active acne treatment can be used for patients with this type of acne.
Papules
Papules are red, inflamed and sometimes painful bumps. Their treatment depends on the severity of the acne.
Nodular and Cystic Acne
Nodules and cysts are larger and deeper forms of acne. Your skin and acne type should be assessed before deciding on treatment.
Acne-Related Skin Concerns
Active acne can be followed by dark spots and acne scars. Treating active acne early may help reduce the risk of ongoing breakouts and further marks.

How Is Active Acne Treatment Performed at Arra Aesthetics?
Skin and Acne Assessment
Your skin type, acne type, severity and treatment area are assessed during consultation.
Treatment Planning
Dr. Vasant Gholave determines the appropriate treatment approach based on your acne and skin condition. A single treatment or combination of treatments may be recommended depending on your condition.
RecoSMA Laser Treatment
The RecoSMA Laser penetrates up to a depth of 6 mm. It produces a photomechanical effect on skin cells and the subcutaneous layer. This process disrupts part of the cell membranes and triggers the body's tissue regeneration response.
Skin Recovery
RecoSMA uses non-thermal technology, so the outer layer of the skin is not intentionally damaged during treatment. The skin may show temporary redness, swelling, crusting or peeling depending on the treatment.
