Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in India — and one of the most undertreated. Many patients spend years on ineffective over-the-counter products, or get prescribed generic antibiotics without anyone actually looking at what's causing their breakouts. At Monaris Skin & Hair Clinic, we do things differently.
Our dermatologists in Delhi (Defence Colony) and Indore (Vijay Nagar) take a root-cause approach to acne — identifying whether your breakouts are hormonal, bacterial, lifestyle-driven, or a combination — and building a treatment plan that actually addresses the cause, not just the symptoms.
Acne doesn't have to be something you just live with. The right treatment, done properly, works.
Both Delhi and Indore have environmental conditions that make acne significantly worse than in cooler or less polluted cities.
Delhi's high pollution levels deposit particulate matter and toxins on skin daily — clogging pores, triggering inflammation and disrupting the skin barrier. Combined with humidity fluctuations between seasons, Delhi skin is under constant stress. Indore's hot, sunny summers cause excess sebum production and dehydration simultaneously — a combination that fuels persistent breakouts.
Add to this the dietary patterns, stress levels and hormonal changes common in both cities, and it becomes clear why acne is so widespread — and why treating it requires a dermatologist who understands the local environment, not just a generic protocol.
Not all acne is the same, and not all acne requires the same treatment. Our dermatologists diagnose and treat:
Depending on your acne type, severity and skin type, your dermatologist at Monaris will recommend one or a combination of the following:
For mild to moderate acne, evidence-based prescription treatments remain highly effective. Our dermatologists prescribe topical and oral medications based on your specific acne type — not generic protocols. This includes retinoids, topical antibiotics, azelaic acid and hormonal treatments where appropriate.
Medical-grade chemical peels exfoliate the skin deeply, unclog pores, reduce active breakouts and fade post-acne marks. We use salicylic acid, glycolic acid and TCA peels at concentrations that are only safe to use under dermatologist supervision — much stronger and more effective than salon peels.
Fractional and targeted laser treatments reduce acne-causing bacteria in the skin, decrease sebum production and calm inflammation. Particularly effective for moderate to severe inflammatory acne that hasn't responded adequately to topical treatments.
For patients whose main concern is scarring from previous acne, we offer:
Our HydraFacial with salicylic acid infusion deep-cleanses pores, extracts comedones and delivers anti-bacterial serums without any irritation or downtime. Ideal as a monthly maintenance treatment for acne-prone skin.
Your first appointment at Monaris starts with a thorough skin assessment — not a rushed 5-minute consultation. Your dermatologist will:
Most patients see meaningful improvement within 4 to 8 weeks of starting treatment. Severe or cystic acne may take longer — but you will see progress.
Cost depends on the type of treatment recommended, the number of sessions and whether you require medical management alongside procedures. As a general guide:
Your dermatologist will give you full, transparent pricing during your consultation. No hidden charges. No pressure to commit to anything on the day.
Can acne be cured permanently?
Acne can be managed very effectively and many patients achieve long-term clear skin with the right treatment. Whether it's a permanent cure depends on the underlying cause — hormonal acne, for example, may need ongoing management. Your dermatologist will give you a realistic picture after your consultation.
How long does acne treatment take to work?
Most patients see meaningful improvement within 4 to 8 weeks. Severe cystic acne may take 3 to 6 months of consistent treatment. Acne scar treatments typically require 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart for optimal results.
Is acne treatment available in Indore at Monaris?
Yes. Our Vijay Nagar, Indore clinic offers the full range of acne and acne scar treatments — medical management, chemical peels, laser treatments and HydraFacial — with the same dermatologist-supervised care as our Delhi clinic.
Can you treat hormonal acne?
Yes. Our dermatologists assess hormonal factors including PCOS and menstrual cycle-related breakouts, and recommend appropriate medical management alongside skin treatments.

Do I need to stop my current skincare before coming?
No — come as you normally would. Your dermatologist will review your current routine and advise on what to keep, modify or stop as part of your treatment plan.
You don't have to keep dealing with breakouts alone. Our dermatologists in Delhi and Indore will give you a clear diagnosis, honest expectations and a treatment plan that actually works for your skin.
