Thane, Maharashtra, India, 6 November 2026: KP Dermatology, the aesthetic and laser skin clinic led by Dr Prratyush More in Vasant Vihar, Thane West, plans acne scar treatment around the type of scar each patient has, choosing between microneedling, subcision, the Candela PicoWay Resolve laser and Fotona laser, alone or in combination, rather than offering one procedure for every face.
Acne scars are not all the same. Boxcar scars are broad depressions with sharp edges. Ice pick scars are narrow and deep. Rolling scars give the skin a wave-like surface because bands of scar tissue tether it from below. Many patients have a mix, along with red or brown marks left by healed spots, and a method that softens one type can do little for another.
At the clinic, any active acne is brought under control medically first. Each scar pattern is then assessed for type, depth and skin tone. Microneedling for acne scars, with needle depth set deeper for scarring than for fine lines, is used to stimulate collagen in boxcar and rolling scars, usually over four to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, with one to three days of redness. Subcision releases tethered scars. The PicoWay Resolve handpiece and Fotona laser are used for collagen remodelling and texture where suitable, with the Resolve typically given over four to six sessions three to four weeks apart.
"Patients come in asking for a specific machine they have read about. I would rather start with the scar," said Dr Prratyush More, MBBS, DDVL, Dermatologist, KP Dermatology. "An ice pick scar and a rolling scar need different things. Most faces need two methods, and the plan says which, in what order and over how many months."
Results build gradually as new collagen forms, and treatment improves scars rather than erasing them. Patients looking for acne scar treatment in Thane can book a scar assessment through the KP Dermatology website.
