Acne Scar Management
Acne scars can remain long after active acne has cleared. They may appear as depressions, raised scars, uneven skin texture, or persistent dark or red marks. With the right diagnosis and personalized treatment plan, the appearance of many acne scars can be significantly improved.
Dr. Aishwarya Ramani provides individualized acne scar management based on the type, depth, severity, and location of scars, helping patients achieve smoother and more even-looking skin.
Types of Acne Scars
Atrophic Scars
These are depressed scars caused by loss of collagen and are the most common type of acne scars.
They include:
- Ice-pick scars: Small, narrow and deep scars
- Boxcar scars: Wider depressions with defined edges
- Rolling scars: Broad depressions that create an uneven or wavy skin surface
Hypertrophic & Keloid Scars
These are raised scars caused by excess collagen production during healing. They are more commonly seen on areas such as the chest, shoulders, and back.

Why Early Acne Scar Treatment Matters
The best time to prevent severe scarring is while acne is active. Avoiding picking or squeezing pimples and receiving timely treatment for inflammatory acne can reduce the risk of permanent scarring.
