What is Scar Reduction & Why It’s Effective?
Scar reduction at Dermacian uses a combination of laser therapy, microneedling, chemical peels, and topical treatments to improve the appearance of scars. Each treatment plan is customized based on the scar type, age, location, and your skin type.
Our goal is to smooth texture, improve color, and make scars less noticeable so you can feel confident in your skin.
Types of Scars We Treat
Different scars require different approaches. At Dermacian, we treat all major scar types:
- Atrophic scars — depressed scars from acne, chickenpox, or injury (ice pick, boxcar, rolling)
- Hypertrophic scars — raised, red scars that stay within the wound boundary
- Keloid scars — raised scars that extend beyond the original wound area
- Surgical scars — scars from surgical procedures (C-section, orthopedic, cosmetic surgery)
- Burn scars — scars from thermal, chemical, or electrical burns
- Stretch marks (striae) — linear scars from rapid growth, pregnancy, or weight changes
- Contracture scars — tight, restricted scars that limit movement
Treatment Options for Different Scars
| Scar Type | Recommended Treatments | Sessions Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Atrophic (acne) | Subcision, microneedling, laser, fillers | 4–8 |
| Hypertrophic | Steroid injections, laser, silicone sheets | 4–6 |
| Keloid | Steroid injections, cryotherapy, laser, surgery | 6–12 |
| Surgical | Laser resurfacing, microneedling, silicone | 4–6 |
| Stretch marks | Microneedling with PRP, laser | 6–8 |
| Burn | Laser, microneedling, pressure therapy | 6–10 |
Our Approach to Scar Reduction
At Dermacian Jaipur, we follow a comprehensive, multi-modal approach:
- Scar Assessment — Our dermatologist evaluates the scar type, age, depth, and your skin type to create a customized plan.
- Treatment Plan — We recommend a combination of treatments tailored to your specific scars and goals.
- Progressive Treatment — Sessions are spaced 4–6 weeks apart to allow healing between treatments.
- Maintenance — After completing the treatment course, we provide skincare guidance to maintain results.
- Follow-up — Regular check-ups ensure the treatment is working and adjust the plan if needed.

- Steroid injections: No downtime. Mild soreness at injection site for 1–2 days.
- Subcision: 5–7 days of bruising. Ice packs help reduce swelling.
