Frequently asked questions

How long until I see acne improvement?+

Most patients see visible results in 6–8 weeks with consistent treatment and proper skincare.

Are laser treatments safe for Indian skin?+

Yes, when performed with the right wavelength and settings calibrated for melanin-rich skin.

Will I need to come back for follow-ups?+

Yes. Dermatology is iterative — follow-ups every 4–6 weeks help refine the plan.
