Acne & Acne Scar Treatment

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting people of all ages. While active acne can be managed with topical and oral medications, the scars left behind often require specialized dermatological intervention. At Amit Aesthetics in Aligarh, we offer a comprehensive range of treatments for both active acne and the various types of acne scars — including rolling scars, box scars, and ice-pick scars — each of which responds best to a specific treatment approach.

Our multi-modality approach begins with a thorough skin analysis to classify your scar types and determine the most effective treatment plan. For rolling scars with their broad, undulating appearance, subcision and dermal fillers work exceptionally well. Box scars respond to laser resurfacing and radiofrequency treatments, while deep ice-pick scars often require scar excision or TCA cross techniques. We frequently combine multiple treatments over a series of sessions to achieve the best results.

Under the expert care of Dr. Amit Agrawal, our clinic offers nine proven treatment modalities: subcision, fractional laser resurfacing, scar excision, dermal fillers, intralesional steroid injections, chemical peels, photodynamic therapy, radiofrequency microneedling, and dermabrasion. Each treatment plan is personalized based on your skin type, scar severity, and aesthetic goals, ensuring you receive the most effective path to smoother, clearer skin.

Recovery & Aftercare

Recovery varies by treatment. Chemical peels and microneedling may cause mild redness and flaking for 3-5 days. Laser resurfacing can involve 5-7 days of redness and peeling.

Most patients resume normal activities within a week, and we provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your specific treatment combination.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which type of acne scar treatment is best for me?
The best treatment depends on your scar type. Rolling scars typically respond well to subcision and fillers, box scars improve with laser resurfacing and radiofrequency, and ice-pick scars often require excision or TCA cross. During your consultation, Dr. Agrawal will classify your scars and recommend a personalized combination approach for optimal results.
How many sessions are needed for acne scar treatment?
Most patients see significant improvement after 3-6 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the severity of scarring and the combination of treatments used. Deeper scars may require additional sessions, and maintenance treatments can help sustain long-term results.
Can acne scars be completely removed?
While modern treatments can dramatically improve the appearance of acne scars — often achieving 60-80% improvement — complete removal is not always possible, especially for very deep scars. However, the combination of multiple treatment modalities can make scars significantly less noticeable and restore a smoother skin texture.
Is acne scar treatment painful?
Topical numbing cream is applied before most procedures to minimize discomfort. Treatments like chemical peels cause a mild tingling sensation, while laser and microneedling involve a warm prickling feeling. Subcision and filler injections use local anesthesia for comfort. Most patients find the treatments very tolerable.
