Everyone wants to have a bright face, brimming with confidence and self-esteem. However, one glance at the mirror may bring it down if you have a skin with pimples, pits or scars. Scars are trails left behind by pimples. Pimples are rather mysterious as you never really know when the next one pops up to leave a blemish or a pit on your face. Pimples and subsequent scars are a very common concern among teens and young adults as most of them meddle with them in front of the mirror. The causes for pimples are many. To put it in simple words, acne is caused by excessive natural oil (sebum) that gets deposited and trapped in the skin pores. This causes skin inflammation and heals by leaving either a blemish or a pit. Hormonal imbalance and stress can contribute for acne and scars. There are different types of acne scars such as rolling scars (with gently sloping edges), box scars (with sharp edges), and ice-pick scars (deep pits which appear like large open pores). But that doesn’t call for brooding because a visit to Dr. Raj's Centre for Skin and Hair would ensure you find the right treatment for it. We have a customized solution to your problem which is subsequent to an elaborate consultation and standardized assessment procedure. The following are the different types of treatment procedures we offer: SUBCISION MICRONEEDLING, RADIOFREQUENCY TECHNOLOGY, SCAR EXCISION DERMAL FILLERS, INTRALESIONAL INJECTIONS FOR KELOIDS, HYPERTROPHIC SCARS PEELS 

In this, the scarred area is first addressed with local anesthesia and the bands that hold the base of the scar to the underlying structures are released using needles. This reduces the scar depth. 

This is a state of the art fractionated Erbium YAG Laser from world renowned Alma Lasers. This works on the proven principle of ablative fractional resurfacing modality using the safest wavelength for colored Asian skin (as opposed to the more aggressive carbon dioxide laser). Pixel is extremely effective in stimulating collagen production and improves almost all types of scars and lines. It gives your skin a dramatically rejuvenated appearance as it encourages younger skin to emerge. The color and texture of your skin gets rid of blemishes giving it the perfect makeover. This is an almost painless procedure when combined with a numbing cream and can be completed by our dermatologist in barely 15 minutes. Sometimes a special technique called Shouldering May be done where the sharp edges of box scars are destroyed with the controlled use of erbium YAG laser in its pure ablative mode. This converts the clearly demarcated scars into those with gradually sloping cosmetically superior scars, which respond better to pixel resurfacing. SCAR EXCISION : This is an effective method for dealing with deep scars. This process involves excision of the scar with a small pen sized punch to ensure that the scar is removed completely. This is done under local anaesthesia to minimise discomfort. Ideally, the edges of the normal skin are stitched together to create an almost imperceptible shallow scar. This is then blended with the pixel resurfacing to enhance its cosmetic appearance. 

If you are looking for a quick fix, then this is right option to make you happy. In this, the acne scars are filled up with Hyaluronic acid which is a natural substance produced in the skin. Hyaluronic acid may stay back in the place filling up the scars for a period of 6-8 months and later it is slowly digested by the body enzymes. At Dr. Raj's Centre for Skin and Hair, we use only US FDA approved fillers. Dermal fillers can be done as a lunch hour procedure with minimal discomfort under the affect of anesthetic cream. 

Sometimes, instead of pits one may have raised bumpy scars after acne heals which are called hypertrophic scars. If they continue to outgrow the size of prior pimple it becomes a keloid. In this case, we give certain injections into those scars to stop them from growing in size and also to flatten them as much as possible. These injections are done at two to four weekly intervals till the desired result is achieved. 

If you are suffering from flat scars or pigmented scars then the peels at Dr. Raj's Centre for Skin and Hair are the apt treatment. Within 4-5 days, the top layers of skin peel off and reveal clear unblemished skin.
