Dermatology & aesthetic care
Care for uneven texture, with a plan made for you. Explore acne scar treatment with Dr. Saira Mohsin, guided by your skin, your concerns and your goals.
Thoughtful assessment. Clear advice. A personal plan.
Start with understanding
Acne can leave changes in both texture and colour. Depressed scars sit below the skin’s surface; raised scars sit above it. Flat post-acne marks are usually pigmentation changes rather than true scars.
Knowing which changes you have helps focus the conversation on an appropriate approach.
Recognising the pattern
More than one scar pattern can occur on the same face.
Small, narrow depressions that extend more deeply into the skin.
Round or oval depressions, broader than ice-pick scars.
Wider, shallower depressions that can give the surface a wavy appearance.
Raised scars, including hypertrophic scars and keloids, need a different assessment. Flat red or brown marks may coexist with textural scarring.

Treatment possibilities
Your dermatologist may discuss one or more approaches. The choice depends on scar depth, skin tone and your priorities. Ask which options are suitable and available for you.
The aim is to make scars less noticeable, with realistic expectations about the degree of change.
Your consultation is the place to compare benefits, limitations, risks, recovery time and cost before choosing a procedure.
Your consultation
Tell us which changes bother you most, what you have tried and how much recovery time fits your routine.
Bring your skincare and medicine list, including current or recent acne treatment. Ask for a clear explanation of the proposed approach.
Discuss sessions, aftercare and review appointments. Leave with a plan you understand and space to ask questions.
Aftercare matters
Ask what recovery is expected for your procedure and how to contact the clinic if you have concerns.

Questions, answered
A good treatment decision starts with a conversation about your own skin.
Treatment can make scars less noticeable, but complete removal cannot be promised. The response and degree of improvement vary.
There is no single best choice for everyone. Different scar types may need different approaches, sometimes in combination.
Usually not. Flat post-acne colour changes differ from depressed or raised scars and may need a different care plan.
Often more than one. Ask for an individual estimate after assessment and a plan for reviewing progress.
Recovery depends on the procedure. Discuss expected sensitivity, swelling or colour changes, and when work, makeup and usual skincare can resume.
Request a quotation after consultation, including the proposed sessions, aftercare and follow-up for your individual plan.
