Acne Scar Surgery in Sindhanur For Deep and Pitted Scars

It means small procedures that treat the scar itself, such as subcision to release tight bands under rolling scars, punch techniques for deep pitted scars, and fillers or grafts to lift sunken areas. Often these are combined with laser or other skin treatments.

Scars can be improved, but they are rarely removed completely. The aim is to make them shallower and less noticeable. The result depends on the scar type, depth and your skin, and your doctor will tell you what to expect.

Deep scars such as ice-pick and boxcar scars, and rolling scars tied down by bands, usually need procedures like punch techniques or subcision. Shallow marks and dark spots are often treated with creams, peels or laser instead.

The skin is numbed with local anaesthesia, so you feel pressure and small pricks. Mild soreness, swelling and bruising can follow for a few days and are managed with simple medicines.

Most people need more than one session, spaced several weeks apart, because skin heals and improves slowly. The doctor plans the number of sessions after seeing your scars.

Redness, swelling and bruising usually settle in a few days to a week or two, depending on the procedure. Scars keep improving for several months as new collagen forms.

It is best to control active acne first, because new pimples can cause new scars and slow healing. Tell the doctor if you have active acne or recently took isotretinoin, as timing may need to be planned.

Possible risks include bruising, swelling, infection, dark marks and uneven healing. Following after-care and sun protection lowers these risks, and your doctor will explain them before starting.

Cost depends on the scar type and number, the procedures chosen and the number of sessions. We give you a clear estimate after the consultation, before the procedure.
