Non Invasive Treatment Methods for Mild and Moderate Scars

• Chemical Peels

This treatment is non-invasive as it works to improve the skin’s appearance through an outward chemical application on the skin. The scar turns into a blister on contact with the chemical and eventually peels off giving way to new skin that is visibly lighter and smoother. The type of chemical peel is decided based on the severity of the scars and the skin type. The idea behind this treatment is to help scrape off the old dead skin cells to reveal the new skin cells within, thus, giving a rejuvenated, healthy look on your face.

• Microdermabrasion

 This is the most common acne scar removal process owing to its ease and use to treat mild acne scars common among most people with skin problems. This treatment procedure involves the use of mildly abrasive instrument to gently sand off your skin to remove the thicker and uneven outer layer. Most commonly used to treat light scars or skin discoloration problems due to sun exposure and stretch marks, this method of exfoliation also stimulates collagen production.

• Dermaroller or Dermapen

This is needling the skin in layman language. Easy and painless acne marks removal procedure that involves piercing the skin with small needles to stimulate new collagen generation. This collagen will reduce the appearance of scars by smoothing out the skin.

• TCA CROSS

CROSS is the chemical reconstruction of skin scars (CROSS) using trichloroacetic acid (TCA). This is one of the common scar removal treatments processes used to treat atrophic acne scars. During this facial scar treatment process, the TCA is deposited in small amounts and high concentration over atrophic scars that spur a local inflammatory reaction. Increased collagen generation fills up the scar depressions and improves skin appearance.

• CO2 Laser

Fractional CO2 laser for acne scar removal is non-invasive and non-surgical. It is most effective for depressed atrophic acne scars and uneven skin. It is also very effective against wrinkles, enlarged pores, sagging skin, and aids in skin rejuvenation. The cost of laser treatment for acne scars in Pune is decided based on the type of laser treatment required, the degree of acne scars, and the number of sessions required.

• Erbium Glass (non-ablative) Laser

The erbium glass laser system with contact cooling is used to repair acne scars, sun damage as well as mild to moderate wrinkles. This laser works on the deeper layers of the dermis without affecting the superficial layers of the skin.

• Microneedling with Radiofrequency

Once tiny needles have been inserted into the skin, high intensity radiofrequency is released onto the target tissue to stimulate collagen production and tighten the tissue. This treatment is minimally invasive as opposed to what it seems and is most preferred to treat problems of sagging skin and mitigate the appearance of scars and wrinkles on the face and elsewhere.

• PRP

New advanced skin treatment processes now also include skin rejuvenation procedures like the Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy that shows better results when combined with acne laser treatment processes. Many patients opt for the PRP treatment that involves re-injecting your platelet-rich plasma into your skin to repair it and remove scars and other visible signs of ageing.

This is often used to treat delicate and difficult to treat areas like the skin under the eyes. The laser treatment acne scars cost is minimal and promises a long-lasting effect on skin through permanent removal of acne and scars. This is usually recommended as an add-on therapy after laser or excision therapy for the best possible results. The patient’s own blood is introduced back into the skin to stimulate the process of regeneration of skin cells and collagen.

Surgical Treatments for Moderate and Severe Scars

• Subcision with Dermal Fillers or Fat Transfer

In this procedure, a hypodermic needle is inserted into the scar to break the fibrotic bands that attach the scar to the underlying skin. Dermal fillers containing hyaluronic acid, collagen, gelatin matrix, and other fat implants are then injected to add volume and fullness at the site of depression.

• Punch Elevation with PRP

Another procedure that is touted better than laser treatment for acne scars involves the use of a punch tool instead of a scalpel to elevate a depressed scar and even out the skin surface. Injecting platelet-rich plasma enables better wound healing.
