Acne and Scars treatment in Karachi
Active acne cleared and its scars treated by type, on brown skin. Prescription care, peels, LED and laser for the acne; microneedling, RF, lasers and subcision for the scars.
What is causing it?
- Oil, blocked pores, bacteria and inflammation drive acne; hormones and genetics drive those.
- Scars form when inflammation reaches the dermis; the type of scar depends on how the skin healed.
- Acne is cleared first, then scars are mapped and treated by type.
Understand the cause first.
Acne is a disease, and scars are what it leaves when it is not treated in time. The clinic handles both stages: clearing active acne with prescription care and in-clinic peels, LED, laser and injections, and then treating the marks and scars by type, on brown skin, with microneedling, radiofrequency, fractional lasers, subcision and regenerative therapy.
Treating the acne first stops new scars forming. Treating scars by type, rolling, boxcar, ice-pick, raised, red or brown, is what makes the difference between a small improvement and a real one.
