Acne Scar Treatment

Overview: Our comprehensive acne scar treatment addresses various types of scars—including ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars—through a combination of advanced techniques tailored to your specific scar type and depth. Under dermatologist supervision, we use targeted approaches like TCA Cross, microneedling, fractional lasers, and subcision to improve skin texture and reduce scar appearance.

How the Treatment Works: The treatment approach depends on your scar type. For depressed scars, techniques like TCA Cross use controlled chemical application to stimulate collagen remodelling and lift the scar base. Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to trigger natural healing and collagen production. Fractional lasers resurface the skin, while subcision releases tethered scars. Your dermatologist combines these techniques in a personalised protocol to address your specific scar pattern.

Who Is This Treatment For: This treatment is ideal for individuals with acne scars—whether recent or old—who wish to improve skin texture and reduce scar visibility. It is suitable for those with ice pick scars, boxcar scars, rolling scars, or a combination. Patients should have their active acne under control before beginning scar treatment. The approach is tailored to Indian skin types, minimising pigmentation risks.

Benefits:

• Reduction in scar depth and visibility
• Improved overall skin texture and smoothness
• Personalised approach based on scar type
• Safe protocols designed for Indian skin
• Dermatologist-supervised for optimal results

Procedure & Sessions: The treatment begins with scar assessment to determine the best approach. Sessions vary based on the technique used—TCA Cross may take 15-20 minutes, while microneedling or laser sessions may take 30-45 minutes. Most patients require 4-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Combination protocols may involve alternating different techniques for comprehensive scar improvement.

Downtime & Safety: Downtime varies by technique. TCA Cross may cause scabbing for 3-5 days. Microneedling typically involves redness for 1-2 days. Fractional laser treatments may require 2-3 days of recovery. All procedures are performed under strict dermatologist supervision using medical-grade products and devices. Sun protection is absolutely essential throughout treatment to prevent pigmentation.

Results & Aftercare: Gradual improvement in scar appearance becomes noticeable after 2-3 sessions, with optimal results visible after completing the recommended course. Collagen remodelling continues for several months post-treatment. Your dermatologist will provide detailed aftercare instructions including gentle cleansing, recommended moisturisers, and strict sun protection. Results are progressive and improve over time with consistent treatment.
