Acne Scars

Looking for Acne Scar Treatment in Jaipur for pitted scars, uneven skin texture, or marks left behind by acne? At Advance Skincity Clinic, Dr. Ramesh Rebari provides personalized acne scar assessment and treatment based on the type, depth, location, and severity of your scars.

Acne scars can develop after inflammatory acne damages deeper layers of the skin. Different scars require different treatments, so accurate diagnosis is an important first step before starting treatment. (aad.org)

What Are Acne Scars?

Acne scars are permanent or long-lasting changes in the skin that can develop after acne heals. They are different from temporary dark spots or redness that may follow acne.

Acne scars are generally classified into atrophic scars, which appear as depressions in the skin, and raised scars, which develop above the surrounding skin. 

Common Types of Acne Scars

Ice Pick Scars

Small, narrow, deep scars that extend into the skin.

Boxcar Scars

Round or oval depressions with clearly defined edges.

Rolling Scars

Broad depressions that create an uneven or wavy appearance on the skin.

Raised Acne Scars

Some people develop raised scars, particularly on certain areas of the body.

Different scar types often require different treatment approaches.

Acne Scar vs Acne Marks

It is important to distinguish between acne scars and acne marks.

Dark spots or red marks left after acne may gradually fade with appropriate skincare and treatment. True acne scars involve a change in the skin’s structure and often require procedures that stimulate collagen, release scar tissue, or physically remove the scar. 

Acne Scar Treatment Options

There is no single treatment that works for every acne scar. Depending on the scar type, Dr. Ramesh Rebari may consider one or a combination of treatments.

Microneedling

Microneedling uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the skin’s natural healing response and collagen production.

It can be used for certain depressed acne scars and is generally associated with limited downtime.

Laser Skin Resurfacing

Laser resurfacing uses controlled laser energy to improve the appearance of uneven skin texture and acne scars.

Depending on the scar type and skin characteristics, different laser technologies and treatment intensities may be considered.

Fractional CO2 Laser

Fractional CO2 laser treatment creates microscopic columns of controlled thermal injury in the skin, stimulating remodeling and collagen production.

It can be useful for selected atrophic acne scars, although patients with darker skin require careful treatment planning because of the risk of pigmentation changes.

Subcision

Subcision is a minor procedure used for selected rolling acne scars. A fine needle is inserted beneath the scar to release fibrous bands that pull the skin downward.

It may be combined with other treatments depending on scar depth and type.

Chemical Peels

Certain chemical peels can improve superficial acne-related pigmentation and texture. Stronger peels may sometimes be used for selected acne scars by experienced dermatologists.

TCA CROSS

TCA CROSS involves applying a high-concentration trichloroacetic acid solution directly into selected deep acne scars, particularly ice-pick scars.

It is a specialized procedure that should be performed by an experienced dermatologist.

Combination Treatments

Many patients have more than one type of acne scar. In such cases, combining procedures may provide better improvement than relying on one treatment alone.

The American Academy of Dermatology notes that dermatologists often use multiple treatments for acne scars because different scar types respond differently. 

How Does Acne Scar Treatment Work?

The treatment approach depends on the structure of your scars.

For example:

• Rolling scars may benefit from subcision.
• Ice-pick scars may require targeted treatments such as TCA CROSS.
• Boxcar scars may respond to resurfacing, microneedling, or other procedures depending on their depth.
• Mixed scars may require a combination approach.

The objective is generally to stimulate collagen remodeling, release scar tissue, or resurface irregular skin so that scars become less noticeable.

How Many Sessions Are Required?

Acne scar treatment usually requires multiple sessions rather than a single procedure.

The number of sessions depends on:

• Type of acne scars
• Scar depth
• Number of scars
• Skin type
• Treatment selected
• Individual healing response
• Previous scar treatments

Because collagen remodeling occurs gradually, improvement may continue for weeks or months after treatment.

Is Acne Scar Treatment Safe?

Most professional acne scar treatments are well tolerated when appropriately selected and performed, but side effects can occur.

Depending on the procedure, temporary:

• Redness
• Swelling
• Sensitivity
• Peeling
• Crusting
• Mild discomfort

may occur.

People with darker skin tones can be more susceptible to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation after certain procedures, particularly more aggressive laser treatments. Careful treatment selection and appropriate settings are therefore important.

Acne Scar Treatment for Indian Skin

Indian skin can be prone to pigmentation following inflammation or cosmetic procedures. This makes individualized treatment particularly important.

At Advance Skincity Clinic, Dr. Ramesh Rebari assesses your skin type and scar characteristics before selecting the appropriate procedure and treatment intensity.

The aim is to improve acne scars while minimizing the risk of unwanted pigmentation or irritation.
