Treatments for Acne/ Scar

Why Should You Opt For A Professional Acne Scar Removal Treatment?

Acne scars have a profound effect on your skin texture and self-confidence. Over-the-counter creams can provide temporary relief, but professional treatments for acne scars offer lasting, noticeable results through science-driven methods.

Here at VK Allure Derma Clinic, our board-certified dermatologists employ innovative treatments such as laser resurfacing, microneedling with PRP, and chemical peels to address scars where they start—boosting collagen and rejuvenating skin naturally. These treatments are safe, tailored for every skin type, and provide smoother, brighter skin with little to no downtime.

Professional care ensures quicker outcomes, lower side effect risk, and a customized experience that works for your own skin.

Procedure

All effective treatments start with a full skin consultation by our board-certified dermatologists.

  • Evaluation of Acne Grade (Grade I to IV)
  • Scar Classification – rolling, boxcar, icepick, hypertrophic, or post-acne pigmentation
  • Skin type, sensitivity, sebum production, and healing potential analysis
  • High-resolution skin imaging and documentation (for tracking before–after)

Depending on your skin type and objectives, we create a customized plan of treatment, which can be a regimen of:

  • Active acne therapy – oral/topical medications, salicylic acid peels, or LED light therapy
  • Scar treatments – CO2 laser, Microneedling with PRP, Chemical Peels, Subcision, or TCA CROSS

    Your treatment plan is tailored to:
  • Skin type (particularly Indian skin types that are prone to pigmentation)
  • Acne activity status (active, healing, or post-acne)
  • Downtime preference (ablative laser vs mild peels)

To provide you with the best results and safety, we precondition your skin before any advanced treatment:

  • Hygiene measures for oil, bacteria, and dirt removal
  • Antioxidant serums or repair barrier moisturizers to precondition the skin
  • Sunscreen application guidelines for protecting healing skin
  • Intermittent drug (if necessary) to suppress inflammation or active lesions
  • For laser treatments, a patch test can be done to ensure that your skin does not react adversely.

Here’s what the top treatments are done at VK Allure:

1.
Fractional CO2 Laser for Acne Scars

  • Skin is anesthetized and cleaned with local anesthetic (30–45 minutes).
  • Fractional CO2 laser delivers microscopic areas of heat into the skin, triggering the collagen and resurfacing the scar tissue.
  • There is peeling and mild erythema at 5–7 days.
  • Used for: Boxcar, rolling, and post-inflammatory scars.

2. Microneedling with PRP (Vampire Facial)

  • Miniature microchannels are created using a roller or a dermapen.
  • Your own platelet-rich plasma (PRP) derived from your own blood is applied to your skin to trigger healing.
  • Encourages collagen growth and smooths out indented scars.
  • Downtime: 1–3 days.

3.TCA CROSS Method (for Icepick Scars)

  • Individual application of high concentration Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) is applied to each scar using a micro tool.
  • This triggers collagen remodeling in the deep scar.
  • Shedding and peeling off within 7–10 days.
  • Indicated for: Icepick and narrow atrophic scars.


4. Chemical Peels for Acne & Pigmentation

  • Glycolic, salicylic, or retinol peels are used to eliminate dead skin and avoid bacteria that cause acne.
  • Clears post-acne marks and smoothes the skin.
  • Light flaking may last for 2–3 days.

5. Subcision + Fillers (For Deep Rolling Scars)

  • Fine needle is employed to rupture fibrous bands of scars beneath the skin.
  • Hyaluronic acid fillers can be injected to raise the depressed area.
  • This gives instant improvement in skin contour.
  • Down time: 2–3 days of minor swelling.
  • Post-operative care is required to ensure healing and avoid complications.
  • Barrier creams and moisturizers to help in skin healing Severe sun protection with SPF 50+ sunscreen Antibiotic or anti-inflammatory ointment (if needed) Follow-up visits to check on healing and schedule future sessions Personalized home skin care regime with products as suggested by dermatologist
