Acne Scar Correction

Most treatments are well-tolerated. We use numbing creams to ensure comfort.

While we aim for dramatic improvement, 100% removal isn’t guaranteed. However, most patients see 60–80% visible reduction.

Mild redness or flaking can happen, but you can usually return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.

We recommend waiting at least 24 hours or until the skin settles.

Yes. As skin loses collagen and elasticity over time, old acne scars may appear deeper or more visible. Early intervention helps maintain smoother skin as you age.

Mild discoloration may fade over time, but deeper scars usually need professional treatment such as lasers, microneedling, or chemical peels.

Common options include fractional laser resurfacing, microneedling, chemical peels, dermal fillers, TCA CROSS, and subcision. A dermatologist may combine several methods for best results.

Yes. Fractional CO₂ and Er:YAG lasers stimulate collagen production, smooth skin texture, and improve scar depth. Results depend on scar type and skin tone.

Typically, 3–6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart are required for noticeable improvement. Deeper scars may need more sessions.

Visible improvement usually begins after a few weeks, with optimal results becoming noticeable after 3–6 months, as collagen remodeling continues.

Yes, but treatment type and laser settings should be customized. Darker skin tones need extra caution to avoid pigmentation changes.

Some treatments, like microneedling with PRP or certain laser systems, can improve both active acne and scarring, but active breakouts should be controlled first.

Most procedures are well-tolerated. Numbing creams or local anesthesia are used to minimize discomfort during laser or microneedling sessions.

Subcision is a minor procedure where a needle breaks fibrous scar tissue beneath the skin. It helps release depressed scars and encourages collagen formation.

TCA CROSS (Trichloroacetic Acid Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars) uses high-concentration acid applied to each scar to promote healing and collagen remodeling, especially for ice-pick scars.

Microneedling uses fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. It’s effective for shallow scars and safe for most skin tones.

Yes. Combining PRP with microneedling or lasers accelerates healing, improves texture, and enhances collagen growth.

Yes. Medium to deep chemical peels exfoliate damaged skin and reduce pigmentation and shallow scars. However, deeper scars may need advanced treatments.

Fillers like hyaluronic acid can temporarily lift depressed scars and smooth uneven texture. Results usually last 6–12 months.

Yes. Treatments like chemical peels, laser toning, and topical retinoids can fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation alongside scar correction.

Downtime depends on the procedure—light peels or microneedling may need 1–2 days, while fractional lasers can require up to a week of recovery.

Temporary redness, swelling, or mild peeling are common. Rarely, improper technique can cause pigmentation changes or infection—always choose a qualified dermatologist.

Costs vary by procedure and clinic. On average, it ranges from ₹3,000 to ₹20,000 per session. Combination therapies may cost more but offer better results.

It’s best to wait 24–48 hours after mild procedures and up to a week after laser treatments before applying makeup to allow the skin to heal.

Avoid picking pimples, treat acne early, use sunscreen daily, and follow your dermatologist’s skincare plan to reduce the risk of scarring.

Once corrected, treated scars don’t return. However, new acne breakouts can create new scars if not managed properly.

They can help lighten marks but rarely improve deep scars. Professional treatments are needed for visible texture correction.

Yes, with proper technique and tailored settings. Dermatologists often recommend microneedling or mild laser treatments for sensitive skin.

Absolutely. Combining microneedling, subcision, PRP, and laser often delivers the best improvement for mixed-type scars.

Use sunscreen daily, stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet, avoid smoking, and follow your post-procedure care strictly for optimal healing.

Yes. Even long-standing scars can respond well to collagen-stimulating procedures like fractional lasers or microneedling with PRP.

The best treatment depends on scar type, skin tone, and sensitivity. A dermatologist’s evaluation helps customize the safest and most effective pla

Most scars need multiple sessions for optimal improvement. However, combining advanced techniques can significantly reduce treatment time and enhance results.
