Acne may go away, but the scars it leaves behind can be more frustrating than the acne itself. These marks — from deep holes to dark spots — can affect your confidence, make makeup less effective, and even lead to anxiety in social settings.
If you’re living in Kakinada, you’re in luck. At Tricure Clinics, we offer specialized acne scar treatment solutions using the latest dermatology techniques, tailored for every skin type — including sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin.
Types of Acne Scars & Why They Matter
Before choosing a treatment, understanding your scar type is important. Different scars respond differently to each treatment method.
Types of Acne Scars:
- Ice pick scars: Deep and narrow, often on cheeks
- Boxcar scars: Wider depressions with sharp edges
- Rolling scars: Wave-like indentations across the skin
- Hypertrophic scars: Raised, thickened tissue (less common on the face)
- PIH (Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation): Dark marks from healed acne
At Tricure Clinics, our dermatologists diagnose your scar type first, then build a customized plan.
Top Acne Scar Treatments Available in Kakinada
At Tricure Clinics, we use advanced equipment, safe protocols, and personalized methods to help reduce or erase scars.
1. Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy)
Microneedling uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This boosts collagen production, helping to smooth out atrophic scars.
- Best for: Ice pick, boxcar, rolling scars
- Downtime: 1–2 days of redness
- Sessions: 3–6 (monthly)
- Optional add-on: PRP therapy for faster healing
2. PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Your own blood is processed to extract growth factors that stimulate skin healing.
- Safe, natural, and effective
- Enhances results of microneedling or laser
- Used even for under-eye pigmentation and overall skin rejuvenation
3. Chemical Peels
Peels are used to exfoliate damaged skin and fade pigmentation or mild scarring.
- Types: Glycolic, salicylic, lactic, TCA (depends on skin type)
- Works well for PIH (dark spots)
- Sessions: 3–6
- Downtime: Mild peeling/flaking for 2–3 days
4. Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser treatment is effective for deep and persistent scars. It removes top skin layers and stimulates regeneration.
- Technology: Fractional CO2 or Erbium YAG
- Results: Visible after 1–2 sessions
- Downtime: 3–5 days (redness, peeling)
5. Subcision + Dermal Fillers
- Subcision breaks fibrotic scar tissue beneath the skin
- Fillers (like hyaluronic acid) add volume to depressed scars
- Best for: Severe rolling scars
