Acne Scar Treatment in Patiala

Reclaim smooth, even-textured skin with our multi-modality approach to acne scar correction. Advanced technologies tailored to your specific scar type.

Sessions: A comprehensive acne scar treatment plan typically involves 4-8 sessions of various modalities, spaced 3-6 weeks apart, over a period of 6-12 months. Mild scarring may improve significantly in 3-4 sessions, while severe scarring often requires 6-8 sessions or more. Collagen remodelling continues for 3-6 months after the final session, so the full results become apparent over time.
Recovery: Recovery depends on the treatment modality used. Fractional laser sessions involve 3-5 days of redness, mild swelling, and a rough, sandpaper-like texture as micro-crusts form and shed. MNRF typically has 2-3 days of redness and mild swelling. Chemical peels cause controlled peeling over 3-7 days. During recovery, strict sun avoidance and use of SPF 50 sunscreen is essential. Moisturising and gentle skincare helps accelerate healing.

What is Acne Scar Treatment in Patiala?

Acne scars are a common and often distressing consequence of inflammatory acne, affecting self-confidence and quality of life. These scars form when the skin's healing process produces either too little collagen (creating depressions like ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars) or too much collagen (forming raised hypertrophic or keloid scars). Effective treatment requires a thorough understanding of scar morphology, depth, and the underlying skin quality.

At SkinEdge in Patiala, Dr. Yuvika Mittal employs a multi-modality approach to acne scar correction — combining advanced technologies such as fractional CO2 laser, fractional microneedling radiofrequency (MNRF), chemical peels, subcision, and PRP therapy. Each scar type responds differently to various treatments, and a combination protocol tailored to your specific scarring pattern delivers the most significant improvement.

Dr. Yuvika Mittal's clinical expertise allows her to accurately classify your scars and design a step-by-step treatment plan that progressively improves skin texture and smoothness. Most patients in Patiala see 50-80% improvement over a series of sessions, with results continuing to improve over the following months as new collagen remodels the scarred tissue.

How Acne Scar Treatment in Patiala Works

Acne scar treatment at SkinEdge works on the principle of controlled skin injury to stimulate the body's natural wound-healing and collagen-remodelling response. Fractional laser technology creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones in the scarred tissue, triggering new collagen and elastin production while leaving surrounding tissue intact for rapid healing. Microneedling radiofrequency (MNRF) combines the collagen-stimulating effects of microneedling with the tissue-tightening benefits of radiofrequency energy delivered deep within the dermis.

For tethered scars (rolling scars), subcision is performed using a fine needle to release the fibrous bands pulling the skin downward. Chemical peels with TCA (trichloroacetic acid) or glycolic acid promote controlled exfoliation and collagen renewal in the superficial dermis. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) may be applied after laser or microneedling to accelerate healing and enhance collagen synthesis with concentrated growth factors.

Your Treatment Journey

1

Detailed Scar Assessment

Dr. Yuvika Mittal performs a comprehensive evaluation of your acne scars under magnification and good lighting. Each scar is classified by type (ice pick, boxcar, rolling, hypertrophic), depth, and severity. A photographic record is taken for progress tracking.

2

Customised Treatment Plan

Based on the scar assessment, a multi-session treatment protocol is designed. This may combine fractional laser, MNRF, subcision, chemical peels, and PRP in a specific sequence to target each scar type optimally. Timelines and expected outcomes are discussed.

3

Skin Preparation

A pre-treatment skincare regimen is prescribed for 2-4 weeks before the first procedure. This typically includes depigmenting agents, retinoids, and sunscreen to prime the skin, reduce melanin activity, and minimise the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

4

Treatment Sessions

Procedures are performed at 3-6 week intervals depending on the modality. Each session is preceded by topical anaesthesia for comfort. Fractional laser and MNRF sessions typically last 30-45 minutes. Subcision and filler for deep scars may be performed in the same session.

5

Post-Treatment Recovery & Maintenance

Aftercare protocols including gentle skincare, sun protection, and specific wound-healing products are provided. Progress is evaluated at each subsequent visit. Maintenance treatments may be recommended every 3-6 months to continue collagen remodelling.
