Acnce scars are graded into 4 stages. Scar by definition is a permanent mark on the skin. Grade 1&2 scars can be treated with creams but grade 3&4 scars require procedures. I usually do two kinds of procedures for my patients. Microneedling or CO2 LASER. These two procedures can be combined with other minor procedures like subscision and CROSS techniques. Depending on your type of scars, skin type and how many days you can stay indoors after the procedure, we select procedures. These have to be done in sessions. You will need atleast 3 to 4 sessions of any of these procedures to get improvement. Your skin will continue to improve upto 1 year after stopping the procedures. These procedures cause remodelling of the fibres below your skin called as collagen. So whatever improvement you get will last for atleast several years, till age takes over again. Warm regards.
