Acne and acne scar treatment in Peshawar
Acne is a medical condition, not a hygiene failure. Most people arriving here have spent two years on creams recommended by a shopkeeper. The first thing we do is work out which type of acne it is, because that decides everything after.
What acne treatment is
Treating the acne before the scars
There is no point resurfacing scars while new spots are still forming, because you will scar again. So the order is always the same. Bring the acne under control first with the right medical treatment, hold it there, then treat the scarring that is left. Anyone who books you straight in for laser while your skin is actively breaking out is taking your money in the wrong order.
What actually goes into a plan
It usually combines something topical, sometimes something oral, and in clinic treatments such as salicylic peels or blue light where they help. Diet gets blamed for far more than it causes, though dairy and high sugar genuinely aggravate it in some people. Hormonal acne along the jaw in women is a different pattern and needs a different approach, including investigating PCOS where the picture fits.
Why it matters
Acne is treated worse in this country than almost any other skin condition. People are handed steroid creams that clear the skin for a fortnight and wreck it for a year, told to stop eating oily food, and left to scar. It is a medical condition with an inflammatory and hormonal basis, it responds to proper treatment, and the scarring it leaves is far harder and more expensive to fix than the acne itself. Every month you spend on the wrong cream is a month of scarring you will pay to resurface later.
What is included
- Grading of the acne and identification of the type, which decides everything after
- Screening for hormonal causes, including PCOS where the pattern fits
- A prescribed plan, adjusted rather than repeated at each review
- In clinic treatments where they add something, not by default
- Four weekly reviews, and scar treatment only once the acne is controlled
Which layer of skin acne treatment actually reaches
Most disappointing results come from a treatment working at the wrong depth for the problem. This is where this one works.
How acne treatment runs, step by step
Diagnosis
Grade and type of acne, what you have already used, and whether hormones are involved.
Control phase
Medical treatment to stop new lesions forming. This is the part that takes weeks, not days.
Review at four weeks
We adjust rather than repeat. Acne plans that never change are not being supervised.
Scar phase
Only once the acne is settled. Peels, microneedling or CO2 depending on the scar type and your skin.
Control the acne first. Then treat the scars. Never the other way round.

Severity
Mild acne is a topical plan. Moderate to severe usually needs oral treatment and monitoring.
In clinic treatments
HydraFacial from 5,000, acne peel 8,000, both used as part of a plan rather than alone.
Scar work
Priced separately once the acne is settled: peels from 10,000, CO2 from 8,000.
Duration
Three to six months of supervised treatment, so the cost is spread over that.
Medication
Prescribed items are bought at the pharmacy and are not part of the clinic fee.

What you are actually paying for
Treated by a qualified doctor
Every clinical treatment is assessed and performed by Dr. Warda Nasir Mohib, aesthetic physician, MBBS, MCPS Dermatology, D-Derm Ireland, MSPH, DFM, and a Diploma in Aesthetics from the Royal Academy of Facial Aesthetics. PMDC 757205-03-M, a number you can check on the public register.
Patch tested before the first full session
Anything involving a laser or a needle is tested on a small area first. We would rather lose a booking than treat skin we have not tested.
Written treatment plan with the total cost
You leave the consultation with the number of sessions, the spacing and the full cost in writing, before you commit to anything.
Published prices
Every treatment on this site carries its price. You will not be quoted a different figure because of how you dressed for the consultation.
Acne treatment questions we are asked
First visible change at four to six weeks, meaningful control at three months. Anyone promising clear skin in two weeks is either selling a steroid cream or not being honest, and steroid creams make acne far worse in the medium term.
No, and that is deliberate. Resurfacing skin that is still breaking out creates new scarring. We control the acne first, then treat the scars, and it is the right order even though it is the slower one.
It is not the main driver, but high sugar and dairy genuinely aggravate it in some people. Anyone telling you acne is purely about oily food is oversimplifying a hormonal and inflammatory condition.
In clinic treatments start at PKR 5,000 for a HydraFacial and 8,000 for an acne peel. The medical part of the plan is prescribed and costs whatever the pharmacy charges.
For moderate to severe acne, prescribed and monitored, yes. They need supervision and blood tests in some cases, which is exactly why this should be a doctor rather than a beautician.
