Acne scars

Acne scars may appear as pits, depressions, raised marks, or irregular texture on the cheeks, forehead, nose, or jawline. Some individuals also notice skin discolouration, including dark spots or redness, long after acne has healed.

Diagnosis begins with a detailed skin evaluation to identify the type of scars. Dermatologists review skin history, previous acne treatments, and underlying skin concerns. In some cases, dermoscopy or imaging may be used to understand scar depth and skin thickness. This assessment ensures that the recommended acne scar removal treatment in Kolkata is appropriate and effective.

Treatment for acne scars depends on the type of scar, its severity, and skin sensitivity. Options include chemical peels, microneedling, laser therapy, subcision, dermabrasion, and combination treatments for improved skin outcomes.

Patients choosing acne scar treatment in Kolkata at Manipal Hospitals begin with a personalised treatment plan aimed at improving skin texture and reducing visible scars. Dermatologists explain each recommended procedure, expected results, and the number of sessions needed. Many patients start with a combination of therapies for better outcomes.

For targeted care, specialists may recommend acne scar removal treatment in Kolkata using advanced laser technology or microneedling devices. These treatments help stimulate collagen and smooth the skin surface. Mild redness or sensitivity after sessions is common and resolves within a short time.

Post-procedure care includes strict sun protection, gentle skincare, and avoidance of harsh products to support healing. Patients receive clear guidelines on moisturising, cleansing, and activity restrictions for the first few days.

Visible improvement usually develops gradually over several weeks as new collagen forms. Regular follow-ups help monitor progress, adjust treatments if needed, and ensure safe, long-term skin enhancement. With consistent care, patients experience smoother texture, reduced scarring, and increased confidence.
