Overview
Acne & Acne Scar Treatment
Acne is one of the most prevalent skin conditions, affecting teenagers and adults alike. Beyond active breakouts, acne commonly leads to scarring — whether superficial post-inflammatory marks or deeper pitted scars — that can persist long after acne is brought under control. At DermcareMD in Kothrud, Pune, Dr. Neha Athalye provides comprehensive care for both active acne and acne scars, with treatment plans individualised to your skin type, acne grade, and scarring pattern.

Our Approach
How We Treat
Dr. Neha Athalye begins with a detailed skin assessment to identify the acne type, severity grade, and scarring pattern. Active acne is treated first with a stepwise approach — starting with topical therapies and progressing to oral medications or procedural treatments as needed. Once acne is controlled, scar revision is undertaken using the most appropriate technique based on scar type: microneedling with PRP for rolling and boxcar scars, chemical peels for post-inflammatory pigmentation, fractional laser for deeper scars, and subcision for tethered rolling scars. A personalised skincare regimen and regular follow-ups are integral to the treatment programme.
