Acne on the Rise in India: A Growing Concern Across Age Groups and Lifestyles

▴ Dr. Veena Praveen, Consultant Dermatologist and Regional Medical Head (South), Kaya Limited
Acne, once primarily seen as a teenage issue, is increasingly affecting a wider range of people across India. While young adults aged 18-25 remain most impacted, adult acne, especially among women, is on the rise. Factors such as urban pollution, high-glycemic diets, increased cosmetic use, and hormonal fluctuations contribute to this growing trend.

Acne, once primarily seen as a teenage issue, is increasingly affecting a wider range of people across India. While young adults aged 18-25 remain most impacted, adult acne, especially among women, is on the rise. Factors such as urban pollution, high-glycemic diets, increased cosmetic use, and hormonal fluctuations contribute to this growing trend.

Traditional acne treatments in India have often been limited to peels, oral medications, steroid-based creams, and microneedling. However, many oral and topical medications contain steroids that can disrupt hormonal balance, making long-term use challenging for several patients.

Recognizing the need for effective and safe acne care accessible to many, Kaya Clinics introduced the Aerolase Neo Elite laser technology at customer-friendly pricing. This advanced treatment targets the roots of active acne by eliminating acne-causing bacteria, reducing excessive oil production, and calming inflammation. It also improves scars, pigmentation, and rejuvenates the skin, providing a comprehensive solution tailored to Indian skin.

Acne often leaves lasting pigmentation and scarring, which can deeply affect confidence and how individuals engage socially. Beyond the physical signs, acne can impact emotional well-being, sometimes causing lowered self-esteem and social hesitation. Addressing acne comprehensively means supporting both skin health and psychological well-being.

 

Dr. Veena Praveen, Consultant Dermatologist and Regional Medical Head (South), Kaya Limited, says, “Acne is a complex condition influenced by hormonal changes, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Effective management requires a focused approach that goes beyond oral and topical medications, which may disrupt hormones. The Aerolase Neo Elite laser addresses the root causes of active acne while improving scars and pigmentation. It offers a safe, comprehensive solution for Indian skin, delivering clearer, healthier skin without the side effects of long-term medication.”

 

Nishant Nayyar, VP and Head of Marketing, Kaya Clinics, adds, "Today’s acne care requires more than just traditional treatments; it demands innovation that truly meets diverse patient needs. Our recent customer feedback highlights strong satisfaction with Aerolase Neo Elite; two-thirds of users would recommend it to others, and close to 70% find it more effective than their past treatments. At Kaya Clinics, we’re passionate about making cutting-edge solutions accessible to all, addressing the widespread acne challenge in India with treatments that truly deliver results."
