Acne may come and go—but the scars it leaves behind often stay much longer, affecting not just your skin texture but also your confidence and overall self-image. In cities like Lucknow and Barabanki, where pollution, humidity, and lifestyle factors can worsen acne, many people struggle with the after-effects of breakouts long after the acne has subsided.
At Dr. Asma Skin Care Clinic, we regularly see patients looking for effective, non-surgical solutions for acne scar removal. Whether you’re dealing with deep pitted scars or stubborn pigmentation, our personalised treatments offer visible, lasting improvement.
Why Do Acne Scars Form?
Acne scars form when prolonged inflammation affects the skin’s lower layers, disrupting the natural collagen and tissue repair process. When acne lesions heal, especially if they are squeezed or left untreated, the body may overcompensate or undercompensate in its healing response—leading to different types of scars:
- Ice pick scars—deep and narrow
- Boxcar scars—wide with defined edges
- Rolling scars—shallow with a wave-like texture
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)—flat dark spots after acne heals
Choosing the right acne scar treatment depends largely on your skin’s sensitivity, tone, and the specific type of scarring present. If you’re unsure what kind of scars you have, start by reviewing our in-depth blog:
What’s the Right Way to Treat Acne Scars? Dr. Asma Shares Tips
Treatment #1: Fractional CO2 Laser
Best For: Deep acne scars, boxcar scars, uneven texture
Fractional CO2 Laser is one of the most powerful tools in dermatology to treat deep scars. Fractional lasers work by targeting precise zones within the skin, gently removing damaged tissue while encouraging the skin to rebuild itself with new collagen.
Key Benefits:
- Reduces the depth of boxcar and ice pick scars
- Improves skin texture and elasticity
- Visibly reduces pore size and rough patches
- Requires fewer sessions for long-term results
At our Chowk clinic, a 28-year-old male who had acne scars for over a decade showed 60% improvement after four sessions.
A patient from Barabanki reported visibly smoother skin and improved tone after just three sessions.

Treatment #2: PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Best For: Early scars, pigmentation, dull skin
Popularly called the “Vampire Facial,” PRP uses your own blood to harness natural healing. The plasma is rich in growth factors that stimulate collagen production, reduce pigmentation, and revive damaged skin tissue.
Key Benefits:
- Safe and natural (no synthetic fillers)
- Improves both scars and skin tone
- Painless, non-invasive, and quick recovery
- Works well with microneedling for added benefit
One of our patients from Barabanki, a 22-year-old student, came in with early signs of rolling scars and longstanding acne pigmentation. After three PRP sessions, she noticed not only a reduction in pigmentation but also a visible glow.

Monsoon weather and humidity can worsen breakouts, making PRP even more beneficial post-summer.

Treatment #3: Microneedling
Best For: Textural irregularities, enlarged pores, mild scarring
Microneedling involves the use of tiny sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These stimulate the body’s natural healing process, resulting in collagen production, smoother skin texture, and improved scar depth.
It is often paired with PRP or hyaluronic acid for enhanced benefits.
Key Benefits:
- Minimal downtime (1–2 days of redness)
- Safe for all skin tones
- Improves both fresh and old scars
- Can be repeated for consistent progress
At our Chowk clinic, a university student who had post-acne texture issues saw smoother, brighter skin after just four microneedling sessions combined with PRP.

Dr. Asma’s Clinical Insight
“There’s no single best treatment for acne scars. The right approach depends on the type of scar, how old it is, and how your skin heals. At both our Barabanki and Chowk clinics, we begin with a full skin analysis and then design a customized plan. In many cases, combining CO2 Laser and PRP offers the best long-term results.”
