Not every post-acne skin concern is a true scar. Identifying whether your skin has superficial discoloration or textural changes is essential before selecting a treatment approach.
Acne Marks
Acne Scars
Discoloration remaining after active acne heals without altering skin surface texture. Common presentations include:
Textural changes involving collagen loss or excess tissue underneath the skin surface. Common presentations include:
• Red or pink post-acne marks • Brown or dark pigmented spots • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation • Uneven-looking skin tone
• Deep ice-pick depressions • Boxcar scars with sharp edges • Rolling scars with wavy texture • Depressed uneven skin surface
Targeted Clinical Protocols
Acne Marks Treatment
Post-acne marks cause uneven tone even after active acne settles. Depending on skin sensitivity and goals, options include chemical peels, HydraFacial, medi-facials, laser toning, sun protection guidance, and Ayurvedic skincare support.
Acne Scar Treatment
Textural scars involve structural skin changes that require targeted resurfacing. Options include specialized laser procedures, skin resurfacing techniques, combination chemical peels, and tailored skin-care plans assessed for scar depth.
Types of Acne Scars
Understanding scar architecture allows Dr. Kanchan to select the precise procedure for your skin type.
Ice-Pick Scars
Boxcar Scars
Rolling Scars
Post-Acne Pigmentation
Narrow, deep depressions extending into the dermis. They require focused deep resurfacing rather than superficial treatment.
Depressions with sharply defined vertical edges. Treatment depends on scar depth, location, and surrounding skin elasticity.
Wavy, uneven skin contours caused by fibrous tissue bands underneath. Addressed using combination texture therapies.
Flat dark marks resulting from post-inflammatory melanin activity. Treated with targeted brightening protocols rather than structural resurfacing.
