Acne Scar Revision

Scar revision surgery is a minor dermatological procedure aimed at reducing the appearance of visible or problematic scars caused by acne, injuries, surgeries, or burns. While no treatment can erase a scar completely, scar revision significantly improves its texture, shape, color, and visibility, blending it better with the surrounding skin. At SkinMD Pune, Dr. Amit V. Ambade uses a range of advanced techniques, including subcision, punch excision, elliptical excision, and dermal grafting, depending on the scar type and depth.

• Improves Skin Texture: Smoothens raised, indented, or uneven scars, making the skin surface more uniform.
• Minimizes Visibility: Reduces redness, pigmentation, and sharp edges, helping scars blend with natural skin tone.
• Restores Confidence: Aesthetically improved skin can boost self-esteem, especially in facial scars.
• Custom-Tailored Approach: Each scar is treated with a suitable surgical technique for optimal results.

1. Consultation & Evaluation: Dr. Amit examines the type, location, and depth of your scar (acne, trauma, surgical) and selects the most appropriate surgical approach.

2. Anesthesia: A local anesthetic is applied to numb the treatment area for a painless experience.

3. Scar Revision Technique: Depending on the scar, one or more of the following may be performed:

• • Subcision: For tethered rolling scars; releases fibrous bands under the skin.
  • Punch Excision: For deep, narrow scars like ice-pick scars; scar tissue is removed and skin is stitched.
  • Elliptical Excision: For wide, stretched scars; the scar is cut out and closed in a more aesthetic line.
  • Dermal Grafting: Fills deeper defects with tissue grafts to elevate the scar.
