Acne Scar & Skin Texture Laser Treatment in Thane
Acne can leave a lasting mark long after the breakouts have cleared. Atrophic scars — ice-pick, boxcar, and rolling scars — along with generally uneven skin texture can be difficult to conceal and slow to fade on their own. At KP Dermatology, Thane, Dr. Prratyush More (MBBS, DDVL — 14+ years of clinical experience) treats acne scarring and textural irregularities using the specialised Resolve handpiece on the Candela PicoWay® laser system.
The PicoWay Resolve uses holographic fractional technology to create microscopic injury points beneath the skin’s surface while leaving the outer epidermis largely intact. This triggers your body’s natural healing response, stimulating fresh collagen and elastin production that gradually fills out scars and smooths textural irregularities — without the extended downtime associated with older ablative resurfacing lasers.
Understanding Acne Scar & Texture Treatment
Acne scars form when inflamed breakouts damage the collagen structure beneath the skin. Depending on how the skin heals, this can leave behind depressed (atrophic) scars, textural roughness, or enlarged-looking pores. Topical creams can only do so much for scarring that sits below the skin’s surface — which is why laser-based collagen remodelling is considered the more reliable long-term approach.
Dr. Prratyush More assesses your scar pattern and skin type before calibrating the PicoWay Resolve handpiece to your specific needs. Because the treatment works from the inside out rather than by removing the outer skin layer, it is generally well tolerated with a shorter recovery window than traditional resurfacing lasers.
Who Benefits from This Treatment
From depressed scars to everyday textural concerns, this treatment addresses a broad range of post-acne skin issues.
Ice-Pick Scars
Helps soften the depth and visibility of narrow, deep-set scars over a course of sessions.
Boxcar Scars
Stimulates collagen to gradually fill out broader, sharply-edged depressions.
Rolling Scars
Smooths the wave-like undulations caused by tethered scar tissue beneath the skin.
Uneven Skin Texture
Refines rough, bumpy, or uneven-feeling skin for a smoother finish.
Enlarged-Looking Pores

Post-Acne Redness
Calms residual redness left behind by resolved breakouts.
Post-Acne Pigmentation
Helps fade darker marks that linger after acne has healed.
Early Acne Scarring
Suited to newer scars, where collagen remodelling tends to show faster improvement.

The Treatment Process
A structured, dermatologist-led protocol designed for steady, visible improvement over a course of sessions.
01. Skin & Scar Assessment
Dr. More examines your scar type, depth, and skin tone to plan a suitable session count.
02. Topical Numbing (If Needed)
A numbing cream may be applied beforehand for a more comfortable session.
03. PicoWay Resolve Pass
The fractional handpiece is passed over the treatment area to stimulate deep collagen remodelling.
04. Cooling & Soothing
A calming application is used immediately after the laser pass to reduce redness.
05. Aftercare Guidance
Clear instructions on sun protection and gentle skincare to support healing between sessions.
What to Expect After Treatment
Results build gradually as new collagen forms beneath the skin, with continued improvement across sessions.
Mild Redness Initially
Similar to a light sunburn, typically settling within 24 to 48 hours.
Gradual Scar Softening
Visible improvement in scar depth over the following weeks as collagen rebuilds.
Smoother Texture
Progressively smoother, more even-feeling skin with each session.
Refined Pore Appearance
Pores appear tighter as the surrounding skin firms up.
Minimal Downtime
Most patients return to normal activities within a day or two.
Cumulative Results

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about acne scar and skin texture treatment — answered by Dr. Prratyush More.
Will laser treatment completely remove my acne scars?
Most patients see a meaningful reduction in scar depth and improved skin texture, though very deep or long-standing scars may not disappear entirely. Dr. More will set realistic expectations at your consultation based on your specific scars.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients need 4 to 6 sessions spaced three to four weeks apart, though this varies with scar depth and type. A treatment plan is customised after your assessment.
Is the treatment painful?
Most patients tolerate the treatment well, especially with topical numbing applied beforehand. Sensations range from mild warmth to light snapping during the laser pass.
Can this treatment help with active acne too?
This treatment is primarily designed for scars left after acne has healed. If you have active breakouts, Dr. More may recommend addressing those first with appropriate acne therapy.
When will I see results?
Some smoothing is often visible within a few weeks, but full collagen remodelling continues for two to three months after each session, with best results after completing the full course.
