Acne & Acne Scars
Acne Scar Treatment in Greater Noida — Prakash Hospital
Acne may heal, but the marks and scars it leaves behind can remain visible for months or years. Prakash Hospital provides acne scar treatment in Greater Noida for teenagers and adults who need safe, medically guided care for active acne, acne marks and acne scars.
How We Treat
What Causes Acne Scars and Dark Spots?
Acne scars form when inflammation from acne damages the skin and affects the healing process. Severe, long-lasting or cystic acne is more likely to cause scarring, particularly when acne lesions are squeezed, picked or scratched.
Dark marks after acne are not always permanent scars. They may be post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which can improve over time with suitable treatment and sun protection.
Types of Acne Scars We Treat
Pitted and Boxcar Scars
Depressed scars that create pits or sharp-edged indentations. Treatment may include microneedling, laser procedures, chemical peels or a combination plan.
Rolling Acne Scars
Rolling scars create a wavy appearance because they are attached to deeper layers below the skin. Treatment may support texture improvement and collagen remodelling.
Hyperpigmentation After Acne
Dark marks after pimples heal are often pigment changes rather than deep texture scars. Care may include sunscreen, topical medicines, peels or laser-based treatment.
Raised Acne Scars
Thick or raised scars need a different approach than pitted scars and should be assessed before any procedure is planned.
Acne Treatment Before Scar Treatment
For many patients, controlling active acne is the first stage of scar management. Continuing breakouts can create new marks and scars. Care may include teen acne, adult acne, cystic acne, acne marks, facial scars, back acne scars and oily skin breakouts.
Acne Scar Treatment Options at Prakash Hospital
Laser Treatment for Acne Scars
Laser treatment may be considered for selected depressed scars, texture concerns, redness or pigmentation. It is not suitable for every patient or scar type.
Microneedling for Acne Scars
Microneedling uses controlled tiny needle punctures to support collagen production. Results are gradual and often need multiple sessions.
Chemical Peels & Combination Plans
Peels may help selected patients with post-acne pigmentation, superficial scars and uneven texture. Scar management is often gradual because skin remodelling takes time.
Acne Scars Treatment at Home
Gentle skincare and sunscreen help protect the skin, but home remedies cannot reliably remove deep pitted, boxcar or rolling scars. Avoid harsh DIY acids and bleaching creams.
