Acne scars can remain long after breakouts are gone, affecting your skin’s texture and overall appearance. At Dew Skin Clinic, we offer advanced, dermatologist-led treatments to reduce acne scars and restore smoother, clearer skin.
Our treatments are designed to improve skin texture, boost collagen production, and visibly reduce scars for long-lasting results.
Acne scars form when inflamed pimples damage the skin tissue. As the skin heals, it may produce too much or too little collagen, leading to different types of scars.
Common causes include:
Our experts evaluate your skin condition to choose the most effective treatment plan.
At Dew Skin Clinic, we treat all major types of acne scars, including:
Specialized Peel treatments help exfoliate damaged skin layers, reduce pigmentation, and promote new skin growth for a smoother and brighter appearance.
MNRF (Microneedling Radio Frequency) is an advanced treatment that stimulates natural collagen production, helping to fill and smooth depressed acne scars over time, resulting in firmer and more even-looking skin.
CO2 laser is an advanced skin resurfacing treatment that targets deeper layers of the skin to improve texture, reduce acne scars, and boost skin regeneration for smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Customized dermatologist-prescribed treatments help improve skin healing and reduce discoloration caused by acne scars.
Acne scars don’t have to be permanent. At Dew Skin Clinic, we combine advanced treatments with expert care to help you achieve visibly smoother skin.

Acne scars are one of the most common skin concerns that continue to affect people long after active breakouts have cleared. Whether you are dealing with deep pitted marks, uneven skin texture, or dark spots left behind by past acne, professional acne scars treatment in Ahmedabad can help restore smoother, healthier-looking skin. At Dew Skin Clinic, Chandkheda, Ahmedabad, our experienced dermatologists design personalized treatment plans using the most advanced skin technologies available to deliver visible and long-lasting results.
If you have tried home remedies or over-the-counter products without satisfying results, that is because most topical creams cannot penetrate deep enough to reach the layers of skin where scar damage actually occurs. Dermatologist-guided treatments targeting the deeper dermis are required to see real change. Our clinic in Chandkheda serves patients from across Ahmedabad including Gandhinagar, Bopal, Satellite, Navrangpura, Naranpura, and the wider Gujarat region.
Acne scars are permanent or semi-permanent marks left on the skin after inflamed acne lesions heal. When a pimple, cyst, or nodule damages the skin tissue, the healing process triggers collagen production. If the skin produces too little collagen, the result is a depressed or pitted scar. If it produces too much, a raised scar forms. The depth, type, and severity of acne scars depend on how deep the original inflammation went and how the individual skin healed.
Unlike post-acne marks or temporary redness that fade over time, true acne scars involve structural changes to the skin tissue and do not resolve on their own. This is why professional acne scar treatment in Ahmedabad from a qualified dermatologist is the most effective approach.
Understanding the root cause of acne scars helps in choosing the right treatment approach. At Dew Skin Clinic, Ahmedabad, our dermatologists evaluate the underlying cause as part of your initial skin assessment. The most common causes of acne scarring include the following.
Severe or cystic acne is one of the primary causes because deeply inflamed lesions penetrate further into the skin layers and cause greater tissue damage. Delayed or improper treatment of acne allows the inflammation to persist longer, increasing the risk of permanent scarring. Picking or squeezing pimples pushes bacteria and infection deeper into the skin, worsening inflammation and significantly raising the chance of scar formation. Deep skin inflammation damages the surrounding connective tissue and disrupts the normal collagen remodelling process. Genetic factors also play a role, as some individuals are naturally more prone to developing scars after breakouts.
If you are currently experiencing active acne, we recommend visiting our acne and pimple treatment page to address the root cause before beginning scar-focused treatments.
Not all acne scars are the same, and each type requires a different treatment approach. At Dew Skin Clinic, we treat all major categories of acne scars.
Atrophic Scars (Depressed Scars)
These are the most common type of acne scar and occur when the skin does not produce enough collagen during the healing process. They appear as indentations or pits in the skin surface. There are three distinct subtypes.
Ice-pick scars are deep, narrow channels that extend into the dermis. They look like small puncture holes and are among the most difficult to treat because of their depth. Boxcar scars are wide, shallow to moderately deep depressions with sharp, well-defined vertical edges, giving the skin a pitted appearance. Rolling scars have gently sloping edges and create a wave-like uneven texture across the skin, caused by fibrous bands that tether the skin to deeper tissue.
Hypertrophic and Keloid Scars (Raised Scars)
These scars form when the body produces excess collagen during healing. Hypertrophic scars remain within the original wound boundary, while keloid scars extend beyond it. Both appear as firm, raised, often red or pink tissue on the skin surface. Our keloid treatment page provides more information on managing this specific condition.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
PIH refers to flat, dark or reddish marks left after a pimple heals. While technically not a structural scar, these pigmented marks are often what patients describe as acne scars. They can persist for months or years without proper treatment. See our pigmentation and melasma treatment page for related information.
Accidental and Combined Acne Scars
Many patients present with a combination of scar types, which is why a thorough skin analysis before treatment is essential. Visit our acne accidental scars treatment page for more on combined scar treatment approaches.
Our dermatologists use a combination of the latest technologies and evidence-based procedures to treat acne scars effectively. Treatment plans are customized based on your scar type, skin type, severity, and goals.
Microneedling Radiofrequency is one of the most advanced and effective treatments for depressed acne scars currently available. The procedure uses fine medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin while simultaneously delivering radiofrequency energy into the deeper dermal layers. This dual-action approach triggers the skin’s natural healing response and stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin.
When combined with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, where concentrated growth factors from your own blood are applied to the treated skin, the regenerative results are further enhanced. MNRF with PRP is particularly effective for ice-pick, boxcar, and rolling scars.
Each session typically lasts 45 to 90 minutes depending on the treatment area. Most patients require 4 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal results. Post-treatment redness and mild swelling are normal and typically resolve within 24 to 48 hours.
Learn more about this procedure on our microneedling radiofrequency treatment page and our microneedling treatment page.
Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is considered one of the gold-standard treatments for moderate to severe acne scars. This ablative laser creates thousands of microscopic thermal columns in the skin, removing damaged scar tissue while stimulating significant collagen remodelling in the surrounding area. Because only a fraction of the skin is treated at a time, healing is faster compared to traditional ablative laser procedures.
When paired with PRP therapy, the combination accelerates tissue regeneration and deepens the overall improvement in skin texture and scar depth. CO2 laser treatment is effective for all types of atrophic acne scars, open pores, and general skin texture irregularities.
Sessions last approximately 45 to 60 minutes. Patients typically require 2 to 4 sessions for aggressive scar correction. There may be 3 to 7 days of downtime with redness, swelling, and peeling as the skin heals and renews. Results continue to improve over 3 to 6 months following treatment as new collagen matures.
Read more on our fractional CO2 laser treatment page and CO2 laser electrocautery treatment page.
Chemical peels use carefully selected acids at controlled concentrations to exfoliate the outer damaged skin layers, stimulate cellular turnover, and reduce pigmentation left by acne. At Dew Skin Clinic, our dermatologists customize each peel treatment based on your skin type, scar type, and pigmentation level.
Superficial peels work on the uppermost skin layer and are effective for mild post-inflammatory pigmentation and surface-level marks. Medium-depth peels penetrate into the upper dermis and are suitable for moderate acne scars and uneven texture. Deep peels reach the mid-dermis and are used for more significant scar correction.
Regular chemical peel sessions also improve overall skin tone, brightness, and clarity. Sessions take 20 to 40 minutes and most patients require 4 to 8 sessions spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. Mild peeling and temporary redness are expected after each session and typically resolve within 3 to 5 days.
Explore this treatment further on our chemical peels treatment page.
The Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser is a highly effective non-ablative laser treatment for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and dark spots caused by acne. The laser targets melanin deposits in the skin without damaging the surrounding tissue, breaking down pigmentation and promoting a more even skin tone.
This treatment is particularly well suited for patients with Indian skin types who want to address dark marks, uneven tone, and pigmentation without significant downtime. Sessions are quick, typically 20 to 30 minutes, and most patients see noticeable results within 3 to 5 sessions.
See more on our Q-switched Nd:YAG laser page and laser toning carbon laser facial treatment page.
Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy uses growth factors derived from the patient’s own blood to stimulate collagen production, accelerate tissue repair, and improve overall skin quality. When used as a standalone treatment or in combination with MNRF or laser procedures, PRP enhances healing and improves the final outcome of acne scar treatment.

Mesotherapy involves micro-injections of a customized blend of vitamins, hyaluronic acid, and active ingredients directly into the skin. For acne scar patients, it improves skin hydration, supports tissue repair, and addresses superficial discoloration and dullness.
Read more on our mesotherapy treatment page and services mesotherapy page.
Skin boosters are injectable hyaluronic acid treatments that deeply hydrate the skin from within, improving skin elasticity, texture, and overall appearance. For patients with acne scars, skin boosters help improve the quality of the skin surrounding scar tissue, making overall results more uniform and natural.

Step 1: Skin Consultation and Analysis
Your journey begins with a detailed one-on-one consultation with our dermatologist. During this appointment, we assess your scar type, skin type, skin tone, severity of scarring, medical history, and treatment goals. This thorough analysis ensures that your treatment plan is personalized and safe. Book your consultation here.
Step 2: Customized Treatment Planning
Based on the consultation findings, your dermatologist will design a treatment protocol that may involve a single modality or a combination of treatments. The number of sessions, intervals between sessions, and any pre-treatment skincare preparation will be communicated clearly.
Step 3: Pre-Treatment Preparation
Depending on the treatment selected, you may be advised to avoid sun exposure, discontinue certain skincare products such as retinoids, or apply a prescribed topical preparation for a few weeks before starting. Pre-treatment care helps minimize side effects and improve results.
Step 4: Treatment Sessions
All procedures are performed in our clean clinical environment by trained professionals. Numbing cream is applied before procedures involving needles or laser energy to ensure your comfort. Each session is carried out with precision and care.

Results from acne scar treatment in Ahmedabad at Dew Skin Clinic are visible and measurable, though they vary based on scar type, severity, skin type, and treatment chosen.
After chemical peel sessions, most patients notice a reduction in surface pigmentation, brighter skin tone, and improved texture within 2 to 4 weeks of the first session. After MNRF or CO2 laser sessions, visible improvement in scar depth begins after the second or third session, with the most significant changes appearing over 3 to 6 months as new collagen continues to develop. Patients with rolling and boxcar scars typically see the most dramatic improvements. Ice-pick scars may require combination treatments including subcision or punch techniques for full correction. Post-inflammatory pigmentation responds fastest to laser toning and chemical peels, with most patients seeing a significant reduction within 4 to 6 sessions.
Overall, patients at Dew Skin Clinic can expect smoother skin texture, visibly reduced scar depth, more even skin tone, improved skin radiance, and greater confidence. Results are long-lasting when maintained with proper sun protection and a consistent skincare routine.
The cost of acne scars treatment in Ahmedabad varies depending on several factors, including the type of scars being treated, the treatment modality chosen, the size of the treatment area, the number of sessions required, and the severity of scarring.

Most acne scar treatments at Dew Skin Clinic are performed with topical numbing cream to ensure patient comfort. Procedures involving lasers or microneedling may produce a mild sensation of warmth or light pressure but are generally well tolerated.
Post-treatment, patients can expect mild redness and swelling that resembles a sunburn, which typically resolves within 24 to 72 hours for most procedures. CO2 laser treatments involve a slightly longer recovery of 3 to 7 days during which the skin peels and renews. Chemical peels produce mild flaking for 3 to 5 days. Patients are advised to avoid direct sun exposure and to follow all aftercare instructions provided by their dermatologist to minimize downtime and maximize results.
Acne scar treatment is suitable for adults above 18 years of age who have visible acne scars affecting their skin texture, tone, or confidence. Ideal candidates are those whose active acne is under control, as treating scars while active breakouts continue will not deliver lasting results. If you are still experiencing active acne, please explore our acne pimple treatment options first.
Treatment is not recommended during pregnancy or for individuals with active skin infections, certain autoimmune skin conditions, or very recent sun exposure to the treatment area. Your dermatologist will assess your suitability during the initial consultation
Can acne scars be completely removed?
While many treatments can significantly reduce the appearance of acne scars, complete removal depends on the scar type and depth. Superficial scars and pigmentation marks respond very well to treatment. Deeper structural scars can be greatly improved but may not be entirely eliminated. Our dermatologists at Dew Skin Clinic set realistic expectations and use the most effective combination of treatments to achieve the best possible outcome for each patient.
How many sessions are needed for acne scar treatment?
The number of sessions varies based on scar type and treatment chosen. Chemical peels typically require 4 to 8 sessions. MNRF treatments work best with 4 to 6 sessions. CO2 laser may require 2 to 4 sessions. Most patients begin to notice visible improvement after 2 to 3 sessions.
What is the gap between treatment sessions?
Sessions are typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to allow adequate healing time between treatments. Your dermatologist will specify the appropriate interval for your chosen procedure.
Is acne scar treatment safe for Indian skin types?
Yes. Indian skin types can be treated effectively with acne scar treatments. However, certain laser settings need to be carefully calibrated for darker skin tones to avoid post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. At Dew Skin Clinic, our dermatologists have extensive experience treating Indian skin types and choose the safest, most appropriate settings for each patient.
Can I combine multiple acne scar treatments?
Yes, combining treatments often produces better results than using a single modality. For example, MNRF combined with PRP, or CO2 laser followed by chemical peels, can address multiple aspects of scarring simultaneously. Your dermatologist will design the ideal combination protocol for your skin.
How soon will I see results from acne scar treatment?
Initial improvements may be visible after the first few sessions, but significant results typically appear after 3 to 6 months as new collagen production matures. Patience and completing the full recommended course of treatment are key to achieving the best outcome.
Can I wear makeup after acne scar treatment?
For most procedures, makeup should be avoided for at least 24 hours post-treatment to allow the skin to heal without exposure to chemicals or bacteria. Your dermatologist will advise you on when it is safe to resume normal skincare and makeup routines.
How do I prevent acne scars from forming again?
Treating active acne promptly with dermatologist-prescribed medications, avoiding picking or squeezing pimples, wearing broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen daily, maintaining a regular skincare routine, and following up with your dermatologist regularly are the most effective ways to prevent new scars from forming. Explore our acne pimple treatment and open pores treatment pages for related guidance.
Do acne scars worsen with sun exposure?
Yes. Sun exposure after acne scarring significantly worsens post-inflammatory pigmentation and can darken existing marks. Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 50 is essential, especially during and after any acne scar treatment course. This is emphasized as a critical part of aftercare at Dew Skin Clinic.
Is there any home care I should follow between sessions?
Between sessions, your dermatologist may prescribe specific serums, moisturizers, and prescription topical creams to support healing and enhance results. Avoiding harsh exfoliants, picking at healing skin, and minimizing sun exposure are essential between sessions.
What is the difference between MNRF and CO2 laser for acne scars?
MNRF is a non-ablative treatment that uses radiofrequency energy delivered via microneedles without significantly damaging the outer skin surface, resulting in minimal downtime of 1 to 2 days. CO2 laser is an ablative treatment that removes the outer skin layers to trigger deeper collagen remodelling, resulting in more dramatic results but with a longer recovery of 3 to 7 days. The best choice depends on your scar depth, skin type, and how much downtime you can accommodate.
Can acne scar treatment be done alongside treatment for pigmentation or open pores?
Yes. Many patients combine acne scar treatment with treatments for pigmentation, open pores, and overall skin texture improvement. Our dermatologists design comprehensive treatment plans that address multiple concerns simultaneously. Visit our skin texture scars treatment page and open pores treatment page for related information.
Are results permanent?
The structural improvements in scar tissue are long-lasting and in most cases permanent. However, pigmentation-related improvements require ongoing sun protection and maintenance to remain stable. New acne breakouts that are not treated promptly can create new scars over time.
Is acne scar treatment available for back and chest scars as well?
Yes. Acne scars on the back, chest, and shoulders can also be treated effectively with laser and other procedures. Treatment coverage and costs vary for body areas compared to facial treatment. Your dermatologist will advise accordingly during your consultation.
What should I avoid before my acne scar treatment session?
Before your session, avoid direct sun exposure for at least 1 to 2 weeks, discontinue retinoid-based products for 1 week, avoid waxing or chemical hair removal on the treatment area for 2 weeks, and inform your dermatologist about any active skin conditions, medications, or supplements you are taking.
