Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, but when it leaves behind stubborn marks and deep scars, it can take a heavy toll on your confidence. At My Skin My Health, we believe that you shouldn't have to hide your face. Spearheaded by renowned dermatologist Dr. Pallavi Rathi, we offer a comprehensive range of clinical acne treatments and advanced scar-revision technologies.
Conveniently located near the Sakinaka Metro Station, My Skin My Health is easily accessible for patients seeking premium acne scar treatments in Andheri East, Powai, Sakinaka, and surrounding Mumbai suburbs. We design customized treatment paths to clear active breakouts, prevent future flare-ups, and dramatically resurface your skin for a flawless finish.
When dead skin cells, excess sebum, and bacteria clog your pores, active acne breakouts follow. Chemical peels are medical-grade exfoliating solutions applied to the skin to gently remove the damaged outer layers, revealing healthier, clearer skin underneath.
For shallow acne scars and uneven skin texture, the Dermaroller is a time-tested, minimally invasive medical treatment. A specialized cylindrical device equipped with medical-grade micro-needles is gently rolled across the skin under topical anesthesia to trigger your body’s natural healing powers.
Microneedling RF (MNRF) is an advanced, high-end technology that combines traditional microneedling with state-of-the-art radiofrequency energy. This powerful combination works beneath the surface of the skin to target deep, stubborn boxcar and rolling acne scars with minimal damage to the top layer of the skin.
Some acne scars look deep and tethered because tough, fibrous bands underneath the skin are pulling the surface downward. Subcision is a specialized minor surgical dermatosurgery procedure designed to break these stubborn bands and release the skin.
When dealing with severe, widespread, or deep rolling and ice-pick acne scars, the Fractional CO2 Laser stands out as the ultimate clinical solution. This advanced laser delivers thousands of microscopic laser beams to deeply resurface the skin.
PRP Therapy uses the natural growth factors found inside your own blood to supercharge skin tissue repair and accelerate scar healing. It is frequently paired with clinical skin resurfacing to maximize outcomes.
Acne scar treatment cost in Mumbai typically ranges from ₹2,000 to ₹25,000 per session, depending on the procedure chosen. Chemical peels and microneedling are generally more affordable, while MNRF and Fractional CO2 laser sessions cost more due to advanced technology. Most patients need a combination of treatments over 3-6 sessions for visible results. At My Skin My Health, Dr. Pallavi Rathi assesses your scar type during consultation and provides a personalized treatment plan with exact costs.
For deep acne scars, a combination approach usually works best rather than a single treatment. Microneedling RF (MNRF) and Fractional CO2 Laser are highly effective for deep boxcar and rolling scars, while Subcision is specifically recommended for tethered, depressed scars caused by fibrous bands beneath the skin. Dr. Pallavi Rathi evaluates your specific scar type and depth to recommend the most suitable treatment or combination for optimal results.
Both MNRF and Fractional CO2 Laser are effective for boxcar scars, but they suit different needs. MNRF works beneath the skin's surface with minimal risk of pigmentation, making it a safer choice for Indian and dusky skin tones. Fractional CO2 Laser offers more intensive resurfacing and is often preferred for deeper, more widespread scarring, though it carries a slightly higher risk of post-treatment pigmentation on darker skin if not performed carefully. Your dermatologist will recommend the right option based on your scar severity and skin type.
The number of sessions depends on the treatment and scar severity. Chemical peels typically require 4-6 sessions spaced 2-4 weeks apart. Microneedling and MNRF usually need 3-6 sessions at 4-6 week intervals. Subcision may require 1-3 sessions depending on scar tethering. Fractional CO2 Laser often shows visible improvement in 1-3 sessions due to its intensity. PRP is usually combined with other treatments and given every 4-6 weeks. Most patients notice gradual improvement starting after the second or third session, with full results visible over 3-6 months as new collagen forms.
Most acne scar treatments involve mild to moderate discomfort, which is well-managed with numbing cream applied before the procedure. Chemical peels may cause a brief tingling or warm sensation. Microneedling and MNRF involve a light pricking feeling, while Subcision and Fractional CO2 Laser, being slightly more invasive, are performed under local or topical anesthesia to ensure a comfortable experience. Dr. Pallavi Rathi and her team prioritize patient comfort throughout every procedure.
Downtime varies by treatment. Chemical peels typically need 1-3 days of mild redness or peeling. Microneedling and MNRF usually require 2-3 days of redness before returning to normal activities. Subcision may cause mild bruising for about a week. Fractional CO2 Laser has the longest downtime, typically 5-7 days, due to its intensive resurfacing effect. PRP has minimal downtime, often just a day of mild redness. Your dermatologist will guide you on post-treatment care specific to your procedure.
Yes, subcision is considered safe and effective for Indian and dusky skin tones. Since it works mechanically by releasing fibrous bands beneath the scar rather than using heat or light energy, it carries minimal risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is a common concern for melanin-rich skin. It is performed under local anesthesia by an experienced dermatologist to ensure both safety and comfort.
