Teenage pimples, also known as acne, can be a significant concern for many young individuals. “These breakouts often occur due to hormonal changes during puberty, which increase oil production in the skin. This excess oil can clog pores, leading to the formation of pimples. Treating teenage pimples early is essential to prevent long-term skin issues and scarring”, says Dr. Niketa Sonavane, top dermatologist in Mumbai, India and founder of Ambrosia Aesthetics. Various treatment options are available, including specialized skincare for acne-prone skin, chemical peels, laser treatments, cortisone injections, antibiotics, comedone extraction, and medifacials like Hydrafacial and Carbon Laser Facial. It is important to address these concerns with safe and effective treatments, especially since teenage skin is delicate and sensitive.

Teenagers get pimples primarily due to hormonal changes during puberty. These hormones, particularly androgens, increase the production of sebum, an oily substance that can clog pores. Additionally, factors like genetics, stress, diet, and certain skincare products can contribute to acne. During puberty, the skin’s sebaceous glands become more active, leading to the overproduction of oil and the development of pimples. Click to Read: What Causes Acne Pimples?
What is the Right Age to Start Teenage Pimple Treatment?
There isn’t a specific age to start treating teenage pimples, as it varies depending on when acne begins. However, it’s advisable to start treatment as soon as pimples become noticeable. Early intervention can help manage acne effectively, prevent severe breakouts, and reduce the risk of scarring. “Most teenagers begin experiencing acne around the ages of 12 to 14, and the treatment must begin whenever symptoms first appear”, says Dr. Sonavane.

Why is Early Treatment of Teenage Pimples Important?
Early treatment of teenage pimples is important for several reasons. It helps prevent the progression of acne, reduces the risk of permanent scarring, and can improve the teenager’s self-esteem and confidence. Addressing acne early on can also prevent the formation of more severe forms of acne, such as cysts and nodules, which are more challenging to treat. Moreover, early treatment can help establish a good skincare routine that can benefit the skin in the long run. Click to Read: Are Acne Scars Permanent?

Skincare for Acne-Prone Skin
Using the right skincare products is essential for managing acne-prone skin. Non-comedogenic cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreens can help keep the skin clean and hydrated without clogging pores. Products containing ingredients like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and retinoids can be particularly effective in treating acne. Click to Read: Skincare for Glowing Skin.
Chemical Peel for Pimples
Chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution to the skin, which exfoliates the top layer and promotes the growth of new, healthier skin. These peels can help reduce acne, improve skin texture, and minimize the appearance of scars. Salicylic acid and glycolic acid peels are commonly used for treating acne. Click to Read: Chemical Peel Treatment.
Laser Pimple Treatment
Laser treatments, such as fractional laser therapy and intense pulsed light (IPL), can target the bacteria causing acne and reduce inflammation. These treatments also promote collagen production, which can help improve skin texture and reduce scarring. Laser treatments are often used for moderate to severe acne. Click to Read: Laser Pimple Scar Removal.
Cortisone injections can provide quick relief for large, painful pimples. A small amount of corticosteroid is injected directly into the cyst, reducing inflammation and speeding up the healing process. This treatment is particularly useful for treating stubborn, deep pimples.
Antibiotics for Pimples
Oral and topical antibiotics can be used to reduce the bacteria that cause acne and decrease inflammation. They are typically used for moderate to severe acne and can be combined with other treatments for better results. Common antibiotics for acne include doxycycline and minocycline.
Comedone Extraction
Comedone extraction is a procedure where a dermatologist manually removes blackheads and whiteheads. This can help clear clogged pores and prevent future breakouts. It is often performed as part of a comprehensive acne treatment plan.
Medifacials
Medifacials, such as Hydrafacial and Carbon Laser Facial, can provide deep cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration to the skin.
Hydrafacial: This multi-step treatment cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin, helping to remove impurities and improve overall skin health.
Carbon Laser Facial: Involves applying a layer of liquid carbon to the face, which penetrates deep into the pores. A laser is then used to destroy the carbon, taking dead skin cells, contaminants, and oil with it. This results in clearer and smoother skin.
Pimple Scar Removal Treatments at Ambrosia Aesthetics, Mumbai
Treating pimple scars is just as important as treating the pimples themselves. Various treatments can help reduce the appearance of scars and improve skin texture.

Chemical Peels
Chemical peels can also be used to treat acne scars by promoting the growth of new skin and reducing the appearance of scars. Stronger peels may be used specifically for scar treatment. Click to Read: Everything About Chemical Peels.
Laser Resurfacing
Laser resurfacing treatments, such as fractional CO2 laser, can target deep scars by removing layers of damaged skin and stimulating collagen production. This can result in smoother, more even skin. Click to Read: CO2 Laser Treatment.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers can be used to raise depressed acne scars, making them less noticeable. This treatment provides immediate results and can be combined with other treatments for better outcomes. Click to Read: Dermal Filler.
Subcision
Subcision is a minor surgical procedure used to treat deep, tethered acne scars. A needle is inserted beneath the scar to break up the fibrous bands pulling the skin down, allowing the scar to rise and become less noticeable.
