Acne Scars Treatment in Navi Mumbai

Schedule an appointment with our dermatologist or a plastic surgeon specializing in scar removal.

During the consultation, discuss your concerns, medical history, and expectations.

Our healthcare professional will assess the scar's type, size, location, and skin type to determine the most suitable treatment.

Depending on the scar's nature, topical treatments such as silicone gel, corticosteroid creams, or vitamin E may be recommended.

These treatments aim to reduce inflammation, flatten the scar, and improve its overall appearance.

Laser treatments are commonly used for scar removal. Different types of lasers target specific aspects of scarring, including redness, pigmentation, and collagen production.

The laser helps stimulate the skin's natural healing process and can be effective for both raised and depressed scars.

Micro-needling involves the use of a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin.

This stimulates collagen production and promotes the regeneration of healthier skin cells, improving the texture and appearance of the scar.

In some cases, surgical procedures like excision or punch grafting may be recommended for more severe scars.

Excision involves removing the scar tissue and suturing the wound, while punch grafting involves removing the scar and replacing it with a small piece of healthy skin.

Follow the healthcare professional's instructions for post-procedure care, which may include the use of specific creams, avoiding sun exposure, and maintaining a healthy skincare routine.

Acne scars often result in changes in skin color. This can manifest as dark spots (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) or redness (erythema). The discoloration may persist long after the acne has healed.

Some acne scars create small pits or craters on the skin's surface, known as atrophic or depressed scars. These are commonly referred to as icepicks, boxcars, or rolling scars, depending on their shape.

In contrast to depressed scars, raised or hypertrophic scars occur when the skin produces too much collagen during the healing process. These scars may appear as raised lumps on the skin.

Acne scars can disrupt the smooth texture of the skin, leading to rough or uneven areas. This is particularly common with atrophic scars.

In some cases, acne scars may be accompanied by pain or heightened sensitivity in the affected areas, especially if the scars are raised or hypertrophic.
