Your acne has finally calmed down. Good. But stand near a window and look closer, and there they are: little pits on the cheeks, a few dark spots along the jaw, texture that foundation just sits on top of. Some people have lived with this for five or ten years. Scars like these rarely fade much on their own. They do respond to treatment, though, often better than people expect. At Dadu Medical Centre, a skin clinic in Delhi, acne scar treatment in Delhi begins with Dr. Nivedita Dadu and her team working out which kinds of scars you actually have, because that decides everything that comes after.
A deep pimple doesn't just sit on the surface. It inflames the skin underneath, and when that area heals, the repair isn't always neat. Too little collagen leaves a dent. Too much leaves a raised lump. And sometimes the skin also leaves behind extra pigment, which is where the brown or red marks come from.
None of this is harmful. It can sit at the back of your mind for years, though. And since most faces have a mix of these, one treatment on its own rarely sorts everything out.
Plenty of pimples heal without a trace. The ones that don't usually have something in common.
Stopping new scars matters just as much as treating old ones.
Get acne treated early, before it turns deep and cystic.
Hands off. Really.
Put sunscreen on every morning, even if you're indoors most of the day.
Keep your routine gentle. If something burns, stop using it.
Don't bank on time. Flat marks may lighten by themselves. Dents usually won't.
Finish your full course of acne medicine. Stopping early often means another round of breakouts.
If scarring runs in your family, see a dermatologist sooner rather than later.
Most people end up with a mix of two or three of these, picked for their own scar types.

PRP paired with a facial. Good for uneven texture and old marks.

Two people can both say "I have acne scars" and need completely different things. That's why packages that treat every face the same way tend to disappoint. At Dadu Medical Centre, our doctors in Delhi start by looking closely at your scars, checking whether acne is still active, and asking how your skin usually heals, whether it darkens or scars easily. If you're still breaking out, that gets sorted first. There's not much point smoothing old scars while new ones are forming. Dr. Nivedita Dadu and her team then choose a combination for your skin, with settings adjusted for Indian skin so the risk of dark patches stays low. And you'll hear it straight: this takes a few sessions and some patience.
Ans. Often they can be softened so much that people stop noticing them. Very deep scars may not disappear fully, so the realistic goal is smoother, more even skin.
Ans. Mostly deep, inflamed pimples. Picking, leaving acne untreated and genes all add to it.
Ans. First, your scar types are checked. Treatment is usually a mix, say DMC Fraxogenus or MNRF for dents, subcision for rolling scars, and a peel or DMC Pixigenus for marks.
Ans. It depends on how many scars there are, how deep they go and how many sessions you'll need. You'll get the exact cost at your consultation.
Ans. Usually several, a few weeks apart. Deeper scars take more.
Ans. Depends on the treatment. Peels, PRP and the Vampire Facial need very little. After DMC Fraxogenus or MNRF, expect some redness or roughness for a few days.
Ans. Marks are flat, just brown or red colour. Scars change the texture, as pits or bumps. Marks fade faster, while scars need treatments that build collagen.
Ans. Yes, as long as the settings suit your skin tone. Sunscreen before and after makes a big difference.
Ans. Active acne comes first. Once it's under control, scar treatment works better.
Ans. Treated scars don't return. New ones only form if new acne does.
