Acne Scarring
To fix acne scars, patients first need to understand what they are. Acne scarring isn’t just a surface issue—it is a changes in the structural architecture of the deeper layers of the skin (the dermis).
When a severe acne cyst or nodule develops, the body’s natural inflammatory response goes into overdrive. As the infection clears, the skin tries to heal itself by laying down new collagen fibers.
-
If the body produces too little collagen, the skin sinks, creating a depressed (atrophic) scar.
-
If the body produces too much collagen, it creates a raised, bumpy hypertrophic scar.

It is highly recommended to control active acne breakouts first. Treating scars while acne is still popping up is like painting a wall while it’s raining. Dr. Anurag will first prescribe a cost-effective medical routine to calm your active acne, preventing new scars from forming, before transitioning you into advanced scar revision protocols.
Because collagen takes time to remodel, scar revision is a journey. Most patients require 3 to 5 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. To ensure your comfort, a high-strength numbing cream is applied before procedures like lasers or RF microneedling, making the treatments highly tolerable.
They Can Help You
The Reality Check: Over-the-counter creams, serums, and oils cannot fix structural acne scars. Because scars live deep within the skin’s architecture, they require precise, medical-grade interventions to rebuild collagen.
Dr. Anurag uses a customized, multi-modality approach to target diffrent scar types simultaneously for the smoothest possible results.
