What Are SkinLab's
Acne Scar Treatments
Acne scars can remain even after active breakouts have settled, leaving changes in skin texture such as depressions, unevenness or deeper scars.
At SkinLab Mumbai, acne scar treatment is planned after assessing the scar type, depth, skin characteristics and whether active acne is still present.
What are acne scars
Acne scars develop when inflammation from acne affects the deeper structure of the skin and alters the normal healing process.
Scars can vary in shape and depth, which is why different scar types may require different treatment approaches.
Types of acne scars we assess
Ice-pick scars
Boxcar scars
Rolling scars
Depressed / atrophic scars
Textural irregularities
Mixed acne scarring
Flat brown or red marks left after acne are not the same as textural acne scars and may require pigmentation-focused treatment instead.

Acne marks vs acne scars
Post-acne marks are usually flat areas of colour change left after inflammation.
Acne scars involve a change in skin texture, such as depressions, indentations or raised areas.
Because the two concerns are different, they may require different treatment approaches.
Why acne scar treatment should be personalised
No single acne scar treatment is suitable for every scar type.
Treatment planning may consider scar depth, scar pattern, skin tone, skin sensitivity, previous procedures and whether active acne is under control.
In some cases, a combination of treatments may be recommended to address different scar types.
Acne scar treatment options at SkinLab Mumbai
Morpheus8
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to support collagen remodelling and improve selected forms of acne scarring and uneven skin texture.
Treatment depth and settings are customised according to the scar pattern, skin characteristics and clinical assessment.
Dermaneedling
Dermaneedling creates controlled micro-channels in the skin to support the skin’s natural repair response and collagen production.
It may be considered for selected superficial acne scars and textural irregularities depending on scar type and skin assessment.
Fractional / energy-based treatments
Fractional energy-based treatments may be recommended for selected acne scars to support collagen remodelling and improve uneven texture. The choice of technology depends on the type and depth of scarring.
INTENSE ACNE PEEL TREATMENT
At SkinLab, our Intense Acne Peel is designed to target acne at every stage — from early breakouts (Grade 0) to more stubborn flare-ups (Grade 3). This advanced, doctor-led treatment works through a four-step corrective action:
- Deep pore cleansing to clear blockages and prevent new eruptions.
- Regulation of excess sebum production.
- Elimination of acne-causing bacteria and surface impurities.
- Refinement of skin texture and reduction of post-acne marks or discolouration.
For lasting results, your doctor may recommend a personalised plan combining this peel with other evidence-based options such as targeted lasers, advanced peels etc. — all tailored to your skin’s needs.
What Happens During an Acne Scar Consultation?
- Assessment of active acne
- Evaluation of scar type and depth
- Review of previous treatments
- Skin-type and sensitivity assessment
- Selection of appropriate treatment options
- Personalised treatment schedule
- Aftercare guidance
- Review of progress over time
Should active acne be treated before acne scars?
In many cases, active acne should first be brought under control before beginning an intensive acne-scar treatment plan.
Continuing breakouts can create new scars, so the sequence of treatment is important.
Can acne scars be completely removed?
Acne scar treatments aim to improve the appearance and texture of scars rather than guarantee complete removal.
The degree of improvement varies according to scar type, depth, skin characteristics, treatment selected and individual healing response.
When can results be seen?
Acne-scar improvement is usually gradual because many treatments work by supporting collagen remodelling and skin repair over time.
The timeline and number of sessions vary depending on scar type, treatment selected and individual response.
SkinLab's Approach to acne scars
- Scar-type assessment before treatment
- Personalised treatment planning
- Active acne evaluated first
- Multiple treatment modalities
- Settings customised for individual skin characteristics
- Ongoing review of response
- Experience working with Indian skin tones
SkinLab’s approach focuses on identifying the type and depth of acne scarring before choosing treatment. Different scars may respond differently, so a combination approach may sometimes be considered rather than using the same procedure for every patient.

In many cases, yes. Controlling active acne first can help reduce the risk of new scars forming.
