📅 Book Scar Assessment 📞 +91-88474 91254Acne scars are different from acne marks. Marks (red or brown spots) are pigmentation and usually fade on their own with sunscreen, peels and time. Scars are actual tissue loss or fibrosis — they will not improve without active treatment. The right scar treatment depends entirely on your scar type. Most patients have a mix — and that is exactly why combination protocols outperform any single laser or microneedling session. At Dermessence Chandigarh we assess your scars under high-magnification, classify them precisely (icepick, rolling, boxcar, hypertrophic, pigmented) and build a customised 4–6 session plan combining subcision, TCA CROSS, microneedling RF, fractional lasers and Morpheus8. The goal is realistic — 60–80% smoother, brighter and more even skin — verified with standardised before/after photos every 8 weeks. If you still have active acne, we always control that first.
Types of Acne Scars (And How We Treat Them)
Icepick Scars
Deep, narrow, V-shaped scars. Best treated with TCA CROSS (focused 70-100% TCA) over 4–6 sessions.
Rolling Scars
Wide, soft, M-shaped depressions. Best treated with subcision + microneedling + filler base lift if needed.
Boxcar Scars
Wide, flat-bottomed, U-shaped scars. Best treated with fractional laser, Morpheus8 RF microneedling and microneedling courses.
Hypertrophic / Keloid
Raised, thickened scars. Treated with intralesional steroids, silicone sheets, and laser softening — never excision in keloid-prone skin.
Atrophic Macular
Flat, depigmented patches. Excimer-style topical / phototherapy plus targeted micro-procedures.
Post-Acne Pigmentation
Brown / red marks (PIH). Best treated with peels, Tri-Beam laser toning and prescription topicals — usually 4–6 sessions.
Procedures We Use for Acne Scar Treatment
Subcision
Tiny needle releases the fibrous bands tethering rolling scars to deeper tissue — instantly lifting the depressed area. The single most underused-but-powerful scar procedure.
TCA CROSS
Microscopic application of 70–100% TCA into icepick scars to stimulate fresh collagen and lift the scar floor over 3–6 months.
Microneedling (Dermapen)
Controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production. Best with PRP/GFC topical for boosted results.
RF Microneedling / Morpheus8
Microneedling combined with radiofrequency energy delivered into the deeper dermis — premium gold-standard for boxcar and rolling scars.
Fractional CO₂ / Erbium Laser
Deep collagen stimulation and skin resurfacing — for moderate to severe boxcar scars. 5–7 days downtime.
Chemical Peels
Mandelic, salicylic, glycolic and Jessner peels for surface marks and texture improvement. Adjunct to deeper scar treatment.
Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid filler placed under deep rolling or boxcar scars to instantly lift the depression — lasts 9–12 months.
Laser Toning
Tri-Beam Q-Switched laser to clear post-acne pigmentation and even out skin tone — runs alongside scar treatment.
