Overview
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting people of all ages. While active acne can be managed with topical and oral medications, the scars left behind often require specialized dermatological intervention. At Dr Amit Aesthetics in Aligarh, we offer a comprehensive range of treatments for both active acne and the various types of acne scars — including rolling scars, box scars, and ice-pick scars — each of which responds best to a specific treatment approach.
Our multi-modality approach begins with a thorough skin analysis to classify your scar types and determine the most effective treatment plan. For rolling scars with their broad, undulating appearance, subcision and dermal fillers work exceptionally well. Box scars respond to laser resurfacing and radiofrequency treatments, while deep ice-pick scars often require scar excision or TCA cross techniques. We frequently combine multiple treatments over a series of sessions to achieve the best results.
Under the expert care of Dr. Amit Agrawal, our clinic offers nine proven treatment modalities: subcision, fractional laser resurfacing, scar excision, dermal fillers, intralesional steroid injections, chemical peels, photodynamic therapy, radiofrequency microneedling, and dermabrasion. Each treatment plan is personalized based on your skin type, scar severity, and aesthetic goals, ensuring you receive the most effective path to smoother, clearer skin.
What it addresses
- Subcision for rolling and tethered scars
- Fractional laser resurfacing (CO2 and Erbium)
- Scar excision for deep ice-pick scars
- Dermal filler injections for depressed scars
- Intralesional steroid injections for raised scars
- Chemical peels (glycolic, salicylic, TCA)
- Photodynamic therapy for active acne and scarring
- Radiofrequency microneedling for collagen remodeling

Recovery & aftercare
Recovery varies by treatment. Chemical peels and microneedling may cause mild redness and flaking for 3-5 days. Laser resurfacing can involve 5-7 days of redness and peeling. Subcision and fillers may result in temporary swelling or bruising for 2-3 days. Most patients resume normal activities within a week, and we provide detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your specific treatment combination.
