Acne and the scars it leaves are best treated as one plan. First the active breakouts are brought under control, so no new marks form. Then dark spots are faded and pitted or raised scars are smoothed.
Dr. Kajal combines medical treatment with in-clinic procedures, choosing what suits your skin type and the kind of acne or scarring you have.
What is acne and scar treatment?
Acne treatment calms active pimples and stops new ones with peels, extraction, LED or laser, and medicines when needed. Scar treatment then rebuilds collagen and resurfaces the skin with microneedling, dermabrasion, peels or laser.
Who is acne and scar treatment for?
- Active pimples and cysts
- Blackheads and whiteheads
- Dark post-acne marks
- Pitted acne scars
- Raised and keloid-type scars
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.

How does acne and scar treatment work?
- Assessment of your acne type, scars and triggers.
- Clearing active acne with peels, extraction, LED or laser, plus home care.
- Fading dark marks with peels and laser toning.
- Smoothing scars with microneedling, dermabrasion or laser once the acne is controlled.
When will you see results?
New breakouts usually reduce within 4 to 6 weeks. Dark marks fade over 2 to 3 months, and scars soften gradually over a course of 4 to 8 sittings. Typical course: Plan-based, usually 3–6 months.

Acne & Scar Treatment: frequently asked questions
Can acne scars be removed completely?
Most scars can be made far less noticeable, but complete removal is rare. You will get a realistic idea of results for your scar type.
Should acne be treated before scars?
Yes. Treating scars while acne is still active wastes effort, because new breakouts leave new marks.
What is the difference between acne marks and acne scars?
Marks are flat red or brown spots that fade with time and treatment. Scars change the skin's texture, as pits or raised bumps, and need collagen-building treatment.
How many sessions are needed for acne scars?
Most people need 4 to 8 sittings, about 4 weeks apart, depending on how deep the scars are.
