How to Treat Acne Scars Effectively: Dermatologist-Approved Solutions in Mumbai
Acne may go away, but its scars often linger — small reminders that affect not just your skin’s texture but also your confidence. If you’ve tried every home remedy and cream only to be left disappointed, you’re not alone.
At The Éterne Clinic, Hiranandani Gardens, Powai, we combine science-backed dermatology and regenerative aesthetics to offer personalised solutions for acne scar removal that work for every skin type and tone.
Understanding Acne Scars: Why They Form and Why Creams Don’t Work
When acne penetrates deep into the skin, it damages collagen and the tissue underneath. As your body heals, it sometimes produces too little or too much collagen — leading to uneven texture.
Common Types of Acne Scars
- Ice-pick scars: Narrow, deep pits that look like tiny punctures.
- Boxcar scars: Broad depressions with sharp edges, usually on the cheeks or temples.
- Rolling scars: Wave-like indentations caused by collagen tethering under the skin.
- Post-inflammatory pigmentation: Dark or red marks left behind after acne clears.
Topical creams can lighten pigmentation, but they cannot remodel damaged collagen — that requires dermatological intervention.
Best Acne Scar Treatments at The Éterne Clinic, Powai
We offer an integrated approach — combining lasers, microneedling, regenerative medicine, and advanced energy devices for optimal skin repair.
1. Morpheus8 RF Microneedling (Hollywood’s Favourite)
A global favourite for scar resurfacing, Morpheus8 combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with microneedling to remodel collagen deep within the dermis.
- Tightens and smoothens skin
- Reduces both scars and open pores
- Safe for all Indian skin tones
- Minimal downtime (1–2 days)
2. Fractional CO₂ Laser / Radianz Q-Switch ND:YAG
Fractional CO₂ Laser resurfaces the top layers of the skin, triggering new collagen and smoother texture.
Radianz Laser targets post-acne pigmentation, redness, and uneven tone. Together, they refine the surface and restore clarity to the skin.
3. PRP / iPRF Therapy – Natural Collagen Stimulation
Using your body’s own platelets and growth factors, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or iPRF (Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin) enhances healing, boosts collagen production, and improves elasticity.
They’re ideal to pair with laser or RF sessions for faster recovery and better scar remodeling.
4. Exosome Skin Regeneration Therapy
At The Éterne Clinic, we use human stem cell-derived and plant-derived exosomes, approved by Korean and international authorities.
Exosomes are rich in growth factors, peptides, and signaling molecules that:
- Accelerate tissue regeneration
- Reduce inflammation
- Improve skin texture and radiance
They are especially useful in patients prone to post-procedure pigmentation or sensitivity.
5. Chemical Peels and TCA Cross
Medical-grade peels help refine superficial scars and pigmentation.
TCA Cross targets deep ice-pick scars individually, stimulating collagen remodeling from the base up.
These are often used in combination with Morpheus8 or PRP for best results.
6. Skin Boosters and Polynucleotides (PN/PDRN)
After resurfacing, skin boosters rich in Hyaluronic Acid, amino acids, and polynucleotides hydrate and rebuild the extracellular matrix, leaving the skin smoother, firmer, and more luminous.
