Laser Acne Scar Treatment in Thane
Fotona laser treatment may be used as part of a personalised acne scar-revision plan to support collagen remodelling and improve selected textural concerns — often combined with subcision, microneedling or other scar-specific procedures depending on scar type.
Acne scars can remain even after pimples have stopped, becoming more visible in side lighting, photographs or under makeup. At KP Dermatology in Thane, acne scar treatment is customised because different scar types need different methods.
Types of Acne Scars We Assess
A dermatologist examines the exact scar pattern, depth and skin quality, which may include:
- Rolling scars
- Boxcar scars
- Ice-pick scars
- Shallow atrophic scars
- Mixed acne scars
- Enlarged pores after acne
- Uneven texture after acne
- Red post-acne marks
- Brown post-acne marks
Is Your Skin Ready for Scar Treatment?
Active acne should ideally be well controlled before scar procedures begin, since new breakouts can create fresh scars and slow progress. If you still have frequent acne, KP Dermatology may first focus on acne control.
How Laser Acne Scar Treatment May Help
Laser treatment creates controlled changes in the skin to encourage remodelling and renewal. Depending on the settings, it may help improve superficial texture, reduce the appearance of shallow scars, and smooth the edges of selected scars.
Laser is not the only acne scar treatment available. Deep tethered rolling scars may need subcision first, and ice-pick scars may need a focused approach other than laser alone — Dr. Prratyush More will explain each recommendation in simple terms based on your specific scar pattern.
What Your Consultation Covers
Before recommending a plan, Dr. More assesses:
Active Acne & Inflammation
Whether acne needs to be controlled first.
Scar Type & Depth
The specific pattern and depth of scarring present.
Skin Tone & Pigmentation
Your pigmentation tendency and risk profile.
Past Treatment & Healing History
Previous procedures and how your skin has responded.
Your Scar-Revision Journey
Consultation
A detailed assessment of your scar type, depth, skin tone and healing history.
Personalised Plan
Laser treatment may be combined with subcision, microneedling or other techniques as needed.
Recovery & Follow-Up
Recovery depends on treatment strength, with strict sun protection throughout.
Possible Results
Improved uneven skin texture
Softer-looking shallow rolling scars
Improvement in mild-to-moderate boxcar scars
Reduced appearance of enlarged pores
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery depends on treatment strength. Mild procedures may cause redness, dryness and short-term sensitivity, while stronger resurfacing may cause more noticeable redness, swelling, crusting or peeling.
Do not pick, scratch or use unapproved active products during healing. Strict sun protection is essential, as sun exposure can worsen post-inflammatory darkening.
Laser Acne Scar Treatment in Thane — Frequently Asked Questions
Can acne scars be removed fully?
No procedure can promise complete removal of all acne scars. The realistic goal is meaningful improvement in texture and scar visibility.
How many sessions are needed?
Most people need more than one session, particularly for mixed or deep scars. The treatment plan is adjusted based on your skin’s response.
Is laser best for every acne scar?
No. Scar type matters — Dr. Prratyush More may combine laser with subcision, microneedling or other procedures for a better result.
