ACNE SCAR TREATMENT
Conveniently located to serve Pali Hill, Bandra West, Mumbai.
WHAT CAUSES ACNE TO SCAR?
Scars are our body’s natural response to trauma, and acne scars are no different. When acne damages the skin and the tissue beneath it, our bodies are quick to respond and repair the damage caused. Depending on the amount of collagen our bodies produce as a result of the trauma, the repaired area can appear as a depression or as a raised scar. When our bodies overproduce collagen in an attempt to heal the damaged skin and tissue, it creates a raised acne scar. On the other hand, when our bodies produce an insufficient amount of collagen, this creates a pit or depression in the skin. As we age, we begin to lose collagen, so our acne scars become more visible to the world. Still, at any age, acne scars can cause physical pain, emotional anguish, and (most commonly) a lack of self-confidence. SCHEDULE CONSULTATIONQUALIFICATIONS

MICRONEEDLING RF
Microneedling RF uses the same technique but with the added power of radiofrequency energy. Delivering RF energy into the skin increases collagen production and promotes healing, and the energy level can be adjusted according to the severity of the scars. Dr. Gujjar uses a multitude of microneedling RF devices to customize your specific scarring treatments, including:InMode Fractional RF, a non-invasive fractional skin remodeling and microneedling device that harnesses the power of RF to treat scarring and irregularities. The RF energy goes deep into the subdermal layers to stimulate collagen production and thickening of subdermal tissue, resulting in tightened skin, improved complexion, and a reduction in pore size.
InMode Morpheus8, a deeper and more powerful microneedling RF device that can deliver radiofrequency energy 7mm beneath the skin’s surface with little to no thermal damage to the skin’s surface. Microneedling RF is also safe and effective for individuals with darker and more sensitive skin because there is no heat applied to the skin’s surface.

SUBCISON FOR ACNE SCARS
Acne scars are formed when the top layer of skin is being pulled down, which creates a divot and a shadow. Advanced subcision technique is used to release tethered scars that are bound down and depressed due to an underlying scar tissue. In this procedure, a sharp needle is used to pierce the surface of the scar, break the connective tissue or fibrotic bands beneath the skin, and lift and flatten the scar. A cannula may be used in those instances where less trauma is desired or a larger area needs to be treated conservatively.LED LIGHT THERAPY
LED Light Therapy reduces inflammation and blood vessel dilation, which decreases redness and halts further thickening of the irregular collagen. LED therapy can also reduce inflammation, diminish pore size and smooth skin texture when incorporated into your daily, at-home skin care regimen. Intralesional injections, such as steroids (kenacort), fluorouracil (5FU), hyaluronidase, and collagenase are used to soften the scar, disrupt the disordered connective tissue, and shrink the scars.TOPICAL THERAPIES
Initial treatments for thickened, discoloured scars include topical therapies. Dr. Gujjar’s team customizes the proper combination of silicone-based scar gels with natural growth factors to accelerate the healing process; Vitamin A derivatives, such as retinol and tretinoin; and antioxidants like Vitamin C. Topical steroids are occasionally employed for their anti-inflammatory effects.TCA CROSS A UNIQUE PROCEDURE
This unique procedure is ideal for ice pick scars and is performed by very few professionals, as it requires extreme precision from an experienced expert. In it, Dr. Gujjar delivers a concentrated chemical solution right to the base of the ice pick scar. The treated area immediately turns white as the skin reacts to the TCA, prompting the production of new collagen. In the days following, the treated area will scab and slowly start to resurface, with significant improvement possible in 3-6 treatments.
TCA CROSS can be combined with other treatments such as lasers, peels, and microneedling to get more improvement quickly.
