Acne (also known as Acne Vulgaris) consists of blockage of hair follicles and sebaceous glands in the skin, which ultimately leads to the development of pimples on the skin.
It can be found on different parts of a person's body, such as the face, neck, shoulders, arms, and upper back.
Acne can change a life as people may experience emotional and physical stress from it. While acne is not life-threatening, it can lead to permanent scars that may stay with a person for their lifetime if not treated properly. People with lots of acne and acne scars often feel that they are being stared at and may even avoid social situations due to feeling uncomfortable. Anxiety, low self-esteem, and lack of confidence deeply affect the lives of those who suffer from acne and deep acne scars.
Active acne is when the acne is red and inflammatory. Active acne is something everyone in the world will experience at some point in their life and it can cause distress and anxiety. Generally, one must wait till active acne becomes inactive before beginning treatment. Even the various over-the-counter acne products and acne medications cannot work effectively when active acne is present.
However, the RecoSMA Laser from LINLINE Medical Systems can be used to treat active acne by reducing inflammation, killing bacteria, and reducing oil production. Whether it's facial acne or body acne, RecoSMA Laser can help to reduce the appearance and provide long-term relief from active acne.
The RecoSMA Laser is the only laser that can treat active acne.

There are many different types of common acne:
Blackheads -
Blackheads, also known as “open comedones” are tiny, dark spots on the skin. This type of acne is formed when a pore is clogged by sebum and dead skin cells stay open.
Whiteheads -
Whiteheads, also known as “closed comedones” are similar to blackheads. They are small white bumps that appear just under the skin. This type of acne is formed when a pore clogged by sebum and dead skin cells is closed.
Nodular acne -
Nodular acne consists of red breakouts that are formed when the clogged pores endure irritation and grow larger.
Papules -
Papular acne consists of red bumps which are painful and sensitive. They are formed when the walls surrounding the pores break down from severe inflammation.
Pustules -
Pustules have the appearance of a red bump with a white or yellow top. Unlike papules, these bumps are filled with fluid that looks like pus.
Acne Cysts -
Acne cysts which are also known as nodulocystic acne or cystic acne, appear when the skin's pores become clogged by oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. These are the largest form of acne and are red or white and painful to the touch.
The main causes of acne are:
Genetics:
Parents having acne or a family history of acne could cause someone to have this skin condition.
Hormonal Changes:
Any changes in hormones cause glands to produce more oil than usual, which then causes the skin pores to get clogged up, allowing bacteria to grow.
Excessive facial expressions:
People who have a habit of touching their face a lot, such as frequent touching or rubbing, could result in acne because it increases oil production on the skin.
Stressful events:
These might include exams, moving house, family issues, etc., and can lead to acne.
Foods:
Eating a lot of sugar and fatty foods could lead to acne.
Cosmetics:
Using oily cosmetics could also result in breakouts due to excess oil on the face which could lead to acne.
There are many different acne scar treatments and choosing the right treatment for the individual is very important. The experienced professionals of Arra Aesthetics, Pune, will first understand the particular skin type and type of acne of the patient.

At Arra Aesthetics, Pune, Dr. Vasant Gholave uses the RecoSMA Laser to treat active acne with a 85 - 90% success rate. RecoSMA Laser treatment for acne works on a molecular level, cleansing the skin and regulating sebum production. The outer layer of the skin will not be damaged in any way. By the third day after the treatment, the acne will already have visibly reduced. The pores will also have narrowed, which acts as a preventive measure against future acne breakouts. Laser treatment for acne is painless and does not require any downtime, though it may take multiple sessions for the acne to be cleared up fully.The results can be seen 3 days after the first session.
Arra Aesthetics, Pune, also uses the groundbreaking technique involving RecoSMA Laser to reduce acne scars. Learn more about it here.
The RecoSMA laser is a powerful tool that can be used on the face, eyelids, neck, and anywhere on the body, making it perfect for facial acne and body acne. Its non-thermal technology means it won't cause deep tissue burns, making it safe to use any part of the body. And unlike other acne laser treatments, it can also be used on darker skin tones without causing burns or hyperpigmentation.
The RecoSMA laser is the only non-invasive laser that:
The revolutionary effect of the RecoSMA laser is not just used to reduce acne and acne scars. It is also used for the treatment of stretch marks, non-healing wounds, and severe keloid and hypertrophic scars.
Advanced Skin Peel:
This is a chemical peeling treatment and is used for mild to moderate level of acne. It helps in improving the appearance of acne scars and blemishes, resulting in healthier-looking skin with a smoother texture. At Arra Aesthetics, Pune, the TCA Peel is an advanced treatment in which the chemical peel penetrates down to the dermis level, providing exfoliation and improvement in skin texture. This is a relatively strong chemical peel, which is used to reduce acne scarring, hyper-pigmentation, and stubborn discoloration like dark spots.
The usual time for visible results is a week, during which the old skin and dead cells are peeled and the new skin is remodeled, giving it a rejuvenated and smooth texture to the skin.
Microdermabrasion:
Micro means small or light and dermabrasion means mechanical or physical exfoliation. Microdermabrasion involves the use of tiny exfoliating crystals which are sprayed on the skin surface. Microdermabrasion is considered light because it only removes the uppermost dead skin layer. Removing the top layer of skin leads the body to quickly replace the lost skin cells with new, healthy ones. This non-invasive hence painless procedure stimulates blood flow, which can improve cell production, in turn improving skin’s elasticity and texture and giving good results for acne scar treatment.
Microneedling:
Microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT) and skin needling. It is a non-invasive procedure that stimulates new collagen production. Using micro-needles, tiny punctures induce collagen production and elastin production, resulting in more youthful appearing skin. The release of these properties helps in repairing the texture and resiliency of the skin. The treatment can minimize pore size and improve skin quality and texture, plus helps to reduce the appearance of acne scars, stretch marks, dark spots, age spots, and even fine lines.
