Scars form in layers, so they are treated in layers. Pitted acne scars, raised or keloid-type scars and flat dark marks each need a different approach.
Depending on your scar type, Dr. Kajal may combine microneedling, dermabrasion, peels and laser over a series of sittings. Improvement is gradual but steady.
What is scar treatment?
Scar treatment uses controlled procedures to rebuild collagen and smooth the skin's surface. Pitted acne scars, raised scars and flat dark marks each respond to different methods, so the treatment is matched to your scar type.
Who is scar treatment for?
- Pitted acne scars
- Raised and keloid-type scars
- Chickenpox and injury marks
- Dark post-acne spots
It may not be the right time if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active infection in the treatment area, or have reacted badly to a similar treatment before. Dr. Kajal checks this at your consultation.
Why choose scar treatment at Dr. K?

- Sittings spaced to give collagen time to rebuild
How does scar treatment work?
- Scar assessment: the type and depth of your scars is checked closely in good light.
- A plan combining microneedling, dermabrasion, peels or laser, matched to your scar type.
- Sittings about 4 weeks apart, so the skin can rebuild collagen in between.
- Progress is reviewed at every visit and the plan adjusted.
When will you see results?
Improvement is gradual. Many people notice smoother texture after 3 to 4 sittings, and results keep building for a few months after the course as collagen matures. Typical course: 4–8 sittings, about 4 weeks apart.
What to expect on the day
Expect some redness for a few days after microneedling or laser, and visible softening over 3 to 4 sessions. Daily sunscreen makes a real difference to how far the result goes.
Aftercare
- Keep the skin clean and skip makeup for 24 hours.
- Use sunscreen every day, as new skin darkens easily.
- Don't pick at dryness or small scabs.
- Avoid swimming pools and saunas for 2 to 3 days.
Is scar treatment safe?
Yes, with the right settings for your skin. Temporary redness, swelling or small scabs for a few days are expected. Daily sunscreen helps prevent darkening while the skin heals.
How much does scar treatment cost in Mumbai?
The cost depends on the scar type, the area and the number of sittings. Deep or widespread scars need more sessions. Book a consultation for an exact quote.
Scar Treatment: frequently asked questions
Can scars be removed completely?
Most scars can be softened and made far less noticeable, but complete removal is rare. Dr. Kajal will tell you realistically what to expect for your scar type.
When can I start scar treatment?
Ideally once active breakouts are under control, so new acne doesn't undo the progress.
Which treatment is best for acne scars?
There isn't one best treatment. Rolling and boxcar scars often respond to microneedling and laser, deep narrow scars need targeted methods, and dark marks fade with peels and toning.
Is scar treatment painful?
A numbing cream is applied before microneedling or laser, so most people feel only mild discomfort.
