Why Scars Need Laser

Smooth the texture. Refine your skin.

Acne scars sit deep in the dermis - they are missing collagen, not surface pigment. Creams, brightening peels and facials cannot rebuild the collagen that was lost when a cyst destroyed the tissue. Fractional laser creates thousands of controlled microchannels that trigger new collagen production over the following months - lifting depressed scars, smoothing edges and refining pores. On Indian and South Asian skin, we use calibrated fractional CO2 and Erbium settings that resurface without leaving pigmentation.

Know Your Scars

Deep narrow vs. wavy shallow scars.

Type 01

Ice-Pick & Boxcar (Deep Narrow)

  • Ice-pick: narrow deep holes that look like enlarged pores
  • Boxcar: wider scars with sharp vertical edges
  • Most stubborn - need focused deep-column laser
  • Best treated with fractional CO2 + TCA CROSS combination
Type 02

Rolling & Atrophic (Wavy Shallow)

  • Rolling: wave-like undulations across the cheek
  • Atrophic: broad indented scars from lost collagen
  • Respond very well to fractional resurfacing
  • Best treated with fractional Erbium + subcision combo

At consultation, your skin is assessed to map the right laser to your scar type, depth and skin tone.

Process & Care

Simple, supervised, and gentle.

Step-by-step

The Process

Consultation & skin assessment a personalised mark-removal plan your sessions (usually 3–6, spaced 2–4 weeks) maintenance & SPF to lock in results.

Prep · 48 hrs before

Before Your Session

Stop retinol, AHAs and physical scrubs for 7-10 days before the session. Avoid sun exposure and self-tanners for 2 weeks prior. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. Tell your doctor about any recent isotretinoin (Accutane) - fractional laser typically needs a 6-month gap after finishing it.

Aftercare

After Your Session

Expect pink skin and a fine sandpaper feel for 5-7 days after fractional CO2 (2-3 days for Erbium). Use only the healing ointment provided, apply SPF 50+ religiously (non-negotiable in Mumbai), avoid gym / swimming / sauna for 5-7 days, no picking crusts. Full collagen remodelling plays out over the next 3-6 months.

Quick Answers

Frequently asked questions.

What is fractional laser and how does it treat acne scars?

Fractional laser (fractional CO2 or Erbium) creates thousands of tiny microscopic channels in the skin, spaced fractions of a millimetre apart. Each channel triggers a controlled wound-healing response - the surrounding untouched skin heals rapidly, while new collagen and elastin fill in the scar depression over the following 3-6 months. Because only a fraction of the skin is treated at a time, downtime stays manageable.

How many laser sessions will I need for acne scars?

Most patients need 4-6 fractional laser sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart, with visible improvement after each session and full collagen remodelling continuing for 3-6 months after the last one. Deep ice-pick scars often need TCA CROSS as an add-on; rolling scars often need subcision alongside. Your doctor gives you an exact plan after mapping your scars.

Is fractional laser safe for Indian and darker skin tones?

Yes - with calibrated settings and pre-treatment skin priming. Aevum uses reduced fluence and coverage on Indian & South Asian skin, plus 2-3 weeks of topical priming (retinoid + brightener) before fractional CO2 to minimise the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation. A patch test is done first to confirm safe parameters.

What is the downtime after fractional laser?

Fractional CO2 downtime is 5-7 days of pink skin and a fine sandpaper feel that flakes off gently. Fractional Erbium is milder - 2-3 days of pinkness only. You can wear makeup after day 3 (CO2) or day 2 (Erbium). Most patients plan the session before a weekend and return to work on Monday.

Are laser results for acne scars permanent?

Yes - the new collagen deposited during fractional laser healing is your own tissue and remains permanently. Existing scars that are resurfaced do not come back. However, if you get new cystic acne in the future, new scars can form - which is why any active acne is treated first before scar resurfacing.

When should I start laser for my acne scars?

Best time to start is after active acne has settled for at least 3-6 months and any oral isotretinoin has been stopped for at least 6 months. Starting too early risks triggering a fresh breakout or unpredictable healing. If you still have active acne, we treat that first with laser and medication, then move on to scar resurfacing once things calm down.

How much does laser for acne scars cost in Goregaon West?

Cost depends on the type of laser (Fractional CO2, Erbium or pixel), the number of sessions and any add-ons like subcision or TCA CROSS. Small localised scar areas are the most affordable starting point; full-face packages give the best value. We share a clear, all-inclusive plan at consultation with no hidden fees.
