Acne 

Acne is a skin condition that both teenagers and adults experience frequently. In some cases, it may result in scarring. The oil and other waste, including dead skin cells, clog some hair follicles, resulting in the formation of spots or pimples on the skin's surface. These spots are typically tiny, black or yellow in color, but if infected, they can become red or swollen.

Top Treatments available For Acne Scars


There are numerous treatment options available for all acne scars, including:


  1. Subcision


The treatment involves inserting a tri-beveled hypodermic needle into the acne scar via a puncture in the skin's surface, and then moving the sharp edges under the defect to make subcuticular cuts. This treatment lifts the depressed acne scars as well as the connective tissue that forms during the normal wound healing response.   


  1. Chemical Peel

    Chemical Peel Treatment

A chemical peel uses acids or other special chemicals to exfoliate the skin, removing the top layer of damaged, aging skin to reveal the younger-looking, clearer, smoother skin beneath that bears fewer scars.


  1. Dermal Filler


Dermal Filler Treatment

A few depressed/atrophic acne scars can be safely and effectively filled in with soft tissue fillers such as hyaluronic acid, autologous fat, or other collagen-stimulating fillers such as polymethylmethacrylate, poly-L-lactic acid, silicon, and polyacrylamide, but ice pick scars cannot be filled in with these substances. The majority of fillers give us temporary results that last for six to eighteen months, though some are semi-permanent and even permanent.  


  1. Laser Skin Resurfacing

    Laser Skin Resurfacing

In this procedure, thermal energy is delivered to the scarred collagen beneath the skin by ablative or non-ablative lasers, without causing damage to the superficial skin, to resurface the skin. It is preferred for minimizing raised acne scars' appearance and texture.

This is based on the size and kind of scars. Here is the need to make a customized plan. It may require use a combination of peels along with laser or microneedling treatments, depending on the type and severity of one’s scars.
