Pune Acne Treatment Costs – What to Expect in 2026?

Acne treatment in Pune involves professional dermatological interventions from topical medications to laser therapy. Professional treatment becomes necessary when over-the-counter products fail or acne risks scarring.

Acne affects 85% of people aged 12-24 in India. Some adults get acne into their 30s, 40s, and even 50s – known as adult acne. Treatment varies based on severity classification, from mild comedonal to severe cystic acne.

Dermatologists use topical retinoids, oral antibiotics, chemical peels, lasers, and isotretinoin. Each targets different factors like sebum production, bacteria, or inflammation.

What Determines Your Acne Treatment Approach

Dermatologists classify acne into three severity categories determining treatment and costs.

Mild acne presents as blackheads, whiteheads, and occasional papules. This responds to topical medications and monthly chemical peels.

Moderate acne involves multiple papules, pustules, and inflammation across larger areas. This requires oral medications plus chemical peels or laser therapy.

Severe acne manifests as painful nodules, cysts, and active scarring. This demands isotretinoin, lasers, and intralesional injections to prevent permanent damage.

How Severity Affects Treatment Costs

Mild acne treatment uses topicals with monthly peels for 3-4 months (₹10,000-₹30,000 total). Moderate acne requires combination therapy over 4-6 months (₹30,000-₹70,000). Severe acne needs comprehensive 6-8 month treatment (₹60,000-₹120,000).
