Acne Scars Treatment in Hyderabad

Acne scars develop as a result of the skin’s healing process after severe acne lesions. When the skin undergoes inflammation and tissue damage, the body attempts to repair itself, leading to the formation of scars. Severe forms of acne, including nodules and cysts, are more likely to cause scarring. These lesions penetrate deeper into the skin, affecting the surrounding tissue and collagen.

Scar tissue is characterized by a different composition of collagen fibers compared to normal skin tissue. It often lacks the regular pattern and elasticity of healthy skin, resulting in a distinct texture and appearance.

Our center specializes in treating various types of acne scars, including icepick, rolling, and boxcar scars, using advanced techniques tailored to each individual’s needs. Our most popular and effective treatments are CO2 lasers and subcision with fat grafting. These 2 are combined with other techniques like botox or fillers.  Since we use the most effective treatment delivered by a cosmetic surgeon, the overall treatment cost is more efficient at Personiks. 

CO2 laser is particularly effective for treating atrophic acne scars, including rolling scars and boxcar scars. Basically the scars where the epidermis (upper most of the skin) is not stuck to structures beneath due to scarring. The laser’s precision allows for targeted resurfacing, stimulating collagen production and significantly improving the appearance of these specific scar types.

Laser treatment for acne scars involves the use of focused light to stimulate collagen production, promoting skin rejuvenation and reducing the appearance of scars.

Laser treatment is effective for multiple scar types, including hypertrophic scars, atrophic scars, and those with associated redness or pigmentation issues.

Collagen production is crucial for skin health. Treatments that stimulate collagen help rebuild damaged tissue, reducing the visibility of scars and enhancing skin elasticity.

Subcision is highly effective for treating tethered or depressed scars, where the epidermis (the upper part of the skin) is stuck to lower surfaces. In this technique the surgeon physically releases the fibrous bands beneath the skin using special techniques. The Subcision lifts and smoothens the depressed areas, providing a more even skin surface.

Once the epidermis is freed, our board certified surgeon will inject your own purified fat below the epidermis to prevent fibrous band formation and improve the texture of the treated acne scar area.

Yes, dermal fillers can be effective in filling in depressed scars and restoring volume to the skin. Typically they can be used in large depressed scar in combination with CO2 or subcision to raise the depressed scar.

Yes, a combination approach involving CO2 laser, Subcision, and fat grafting may be recommended to target multiple types of acne scars. At Personiks we offer the widest treatment range for acne scars and chicken pox scars. Hence our skilled surgeons will assess your specific scar patterns and create a personalized treatment plan for optimal results.

While CO2 laser, Subcision, and fat grafting are highly effective for many types of acne scars, individual responses may vary. During the consultation, our experienced surgeons will carefully evaluate your skin condition and discuss realistic expectations based on your specific scar types.
