Acne Scar Treatment in Jaipur - Dermacian

Understanding Acne Scar

Acne scars are permanent textural changes in the skin that remain after acne lesions heal. They range from shallow depressions to deep, pitted scars and can affect the face, back, chest, and shoulders. Acne scars are different from post-acne marks (hyperpigmentation), which are flat and temporary. At Dermacian Jaipur, we offer multiple advanced treatments to reduce acne scars and restore smooth, even skin texture.

Signs & Symptoms

Atrophic scars — depressed areas where skin tissue is lost (most common type)

Ice pick scars — deep, narrow, pitted scars that look like large open pores

Boxcar scars — wide, rectangular depressions with sharply defined edges

Rolling scars — wide depressions with sloping edges, creating a wave-like appearance

Hypertrophic scars — raised, bumpy scars caused by excess tissue production

Hyperpigmentation — dark or red flat marks left after acne heals (not true scars but often treated together)

Causes & Risk Factors

Severe or cystic acne that damages deep skin tissue

Delayed or inadequate acne treatment allowing inflammation to persist

Picking, squeezing, or popping pimples — increases tissue damage and scarring risk

Genetics — some people are more prone to scarring than others

Excessive collagen production (hypertrophic scars) or insufficient collagen (atrophic scars)

Skin inflammation depth — deeper inflammation causes more severe scarring

Treatment Options at Dermacian

Subcision

A minor surgical procedure that releases the fibrous bands pulling the scar downward, allowing the skin to lift. Effective for rolling scars.

Microneedling (Dermaroller)

Creates micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production, improving texture and depth of atrophic scars. Multiple sessions needed.

Chemical Peels

Medical-grade glycolic or TCA peels that exfoliate the skin, improve texture, and reduce shallow scars and pigmentation.

Laser Resurfacing

CO2 or fractional lasers remove the outer layer of skin and stimulate collagen, significantly improving scar depth and texture.

Dermal Fillers

Hyaluronic acid fillers injected into depressed scars to raise them to skin level. Immediate results lasting 6–18 months.

PRP Therapy

Platelet-rich plasma from your own blood is applied or injected to accelerate healing and collagen production, often combined with microneedling.

Punch Excision

Individual deep ice pick scars are surgically removed and the area is sutured. The small scar that forms is easier to treat than the original pit.

Prevention & Management Tips

Treat acne early and aggressively to prevent deep inflammation and scarring

Never pick, squeeze, or pop pimples — this is the #1 cause of preventable scarring

Use medical-grade acne treatments as prescribed by a dermatologist

Apply sunscreen daily — UV exposure darkens post-acne marks and slows healing

Avoid harsh scrubs and over-exfoliation that can worsen inflammation

Maintain a consistent skincare routine with gentle, non-comedogenic products
