Acne Scars in Muzaffarnagar
Acne scars are textural changes or marks left after acne heals. Different types of scars respond differently, so an in-person assessment is the first step in choosing an approach.
Who may consider a consultation
- Pitted or uneven skin texture after acne
- Marks that remain after acne has settled
- Injury, burn or keloid scars, where a doctor may discuss suitable options
Treatment overview
Fractional CO₂ laser is commonly used for scar-related texture concerns. It works in a fractional pattern, and the doctor decides whether it, or another approach, is appropriate for your scar type and skin.
Scar treatment often involves a series of sessions and some downtime. Suitability depends on assessment, and outcomes vary between individuals.
