Acne Scar Treatment in Indore
What Are Acne Scars & Why Do They Form?
Acne scars are permanent textural changes or marks left on the skin after acne lesions heal. They form when inflamed acne blemishes damage the deeper layers of skin, disrupting normal collagen production. The result can be pitted depressions, raised bumps, or discoloured flat marks all of which affect skin texture and confidence.
In Indore’s humid and polluted climate, acne is extremely common and without proper treatment, a large proportion of patients develop acne scars. At Skinology, our dermatologist Dr. Ginni Chhabria offers advanced, medically proven Acne scar reduction treatments at both our Palasia and Vijay Nagar clinics.

Acne Scar Treatments Available at Skinology Indore
Dr. Ginni Chhabria uses a combination approach selecting the most effective treatments based on your scar type, skin tone, and treatment history. All procedures are performed in-clinic with medically certified equipment.
MNRF (Micro-Needling Radio Frequency)
MNRF is one of the most effective treatments for deep acne scars. It uses ultra-fine needles to deliver radiofrequency energy directly into the dermis, stimulating collagen remodelling without damaging the skin surface. It works safely on Indian skin tones a critical advantage over ablative lasers.
Why MNRF at Skinology?
Safe for all Indian skin tones | Minimal downtime (24-48 hours) | Treats ice pick, boxcar & rolling scars | Visible improvement from 2nd session | Performed by Dr. Ginni Chhabria herself
Fractional CO2 Laser
Ideal for:
Moderate to deep boxcar and rolling scars | Skin resurfacing after active acne | Patients seeking faster visible results
Chemical Peels
Best for:
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) | Superficial acne scars | Improving overall skin texture and glow
Dermaroller / Microneedling with PRP
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen. When combined with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) drawn from your own blood, it supercharges the healing response significantly improving scar depth, skin texture, and radiance. This is a fully natural, biocompatible treatment with no downtime.
Best for:
Rolling scars | Skin texture improvement | Patients who prefer natural, non-laser treatment
Subcision
Subcision is a minor surgical procedure where a fine needle is inserted under the scar to release the fibrous bands tethering it to deeper tissue. This lifts the scar and allows new collagen to fill the depression. It is particularly effective for rolling scars and is often combined with MNRF or PRP.
Steroid / Filler Injections
For hypertrophic (raised) scars or keloids, corticosteroid injections flatten and soften the scar tissue over a series of sessions. For deep atrophic scars, dermal fillers can temporarily restore volume beneath the scar.
