Acne scars are the bane of many teenagers’ lives. They can be depressing, embarrassing and often prevent people from enjoying life to its fullest. But what is acne?
Acne is a skin condition that affects almost everyone in the world at some point in their lives. The type and severity of acne vary according to the individual case, but it usually appears as red bumps or whiteheads on the skin surface. These may leave behind permanent scarring when they heal if not treated properly.
Acne scars may be very common among people who have suffered severe acne, but they can cause psychological distress. They can affect a person’s self-esteem and confidence, and affect their lifestyle and relationships. Fortunately, by consulting a doctor and choosing the treatment suitable for you, it is possible to reduce and even eliminate acne scars.
Acne scars are very common and people all over the world search Google for "treatment for acne scars" or "home treatment for acne scars." There are lots of natural remedies or home treatments online for removing acne scars and getting clear skin, but you might not notice any difference after trying them. Unfortunately, most home treatments for acne scars found online either don't work or show very minimal results. At Arra Aesthetics, Pune, we use RecoSMA laser technology to treat acne scarring, with a success rate of more than 75%.
There are many misconceptions about laser acne scar treatment. Many people believe that the treatment is painful, harmful, and ineffective. However, the opposite is true. RecoSMA laser treatment for acne scars is a safe, painless, and effective option that gets rid of scars permanently. At Arra Aesthetic, Pune, we also use chemical peels, dermabrasion, microdermabrasion, and other treatments for more noticeable results.
The most common type of acne scars are atrophic scars. They are depressions on the skin’s surface that usually appear as a result of acne. They develop when there is a loss of tissue, and they can be pitted or linear. There are three types of atrophic scars:
Hypertrophic scars and keloid scars are scarred tissue that is formed as a result of excessive collagen formation after there is damage to the skin. They tend to occur when an injury is left untreated and, in most cases, they will never go away on their own. Hypertrophic scars and keloid scars can be painful and difficult to conceal with makeup if not treated properly.
Arra Aesthetics Is The Only Clinic In Pune To Use RecoSMA Laser
At Arra Aesthetics, Pune, consultation is the first and one of the most important steps for treatment.
During the consultation, Dr. Vasant Gholave will carefully examine the acne scars and suggest the best treatments to get rid of them. He will listen to the wishes and desires of the patient, and help the patient select the most appropriate and effective treatment. He will guide them through the entire procedure and explain to them the best possible results of the procedure, to ensure that the patient will make an informed decision and have realistic expectations.
Dr. Vasant Gholave believes that it is essential for the patient to be comfortable with the surgeon and that there should be communication between them. So, he encourages patients to ask any questions they may have and he answers all of their questions and doubts, so that the patients may go through the treatment without any worries.
In this blog, Dr. Vasant Gholave details some of the key things to consider before undergoing laser treatment for acne scars.
Before it was not possible to remove acne scars by replacing the fibrous tissue or scar tissue with fully functional tissue. The formation of fibrous tissue or scar tissue is customarily considered irreversible. In other words, if a scar was formed, it can only be “smoothed” but not reduced in size. However, things have changed due to a new scars treatment technique from LINLINE.
Most people doubt that particularly deep acne scars can be removed by laser treatment. RecoSMA Laser is the latest groundbreaking technology from LINLINE Medical Systems that rejuvenates and completely restores damaged skin structures. It is a gentle way to trigger skin regeneration of damaged skin. It stimulates the skin to actively produce collagen and elastin.
Collagen and elastin are two proteins that the body makes naturally. They are essential for the structure and function of the skin. Collagen provides the skin with strength and elasticity, while elastin helps the skin to snap back into place after being stretched or pulled. Since the RecoSMA laser stimulates elastin and collagen production, the scars will become less noticeable after just one session! The scars become less and less noticeable and generally disappear completely after 3 sessions.
RecoSMA Laser can effectively be used for the treatment of post-acne scars, whether they are atrophic scars, hypertrophic scars, or keloid scars.
At Arra Aesthetics, Pune, we suggest using both the scar correction method by laser ablation and the destruction of fibrous tissue and the stimulation of new, functional tissue growth using RecoSMA.
The RecoSMA Laser is also used to treat active acne.
The RecoSMA laser can be used on the face, eyelids, neck, and anywhere on the entire body. The technology is classified as a non-thermal aesthetic laser: it does not create deep tissue burns, allowing the laser to be utilized on the entire body.
It is the only non-invasive laser that does not require local anesthesia, requires no cooling system or special aftercare, and has a shorter recovery time.
The revolutionary effect of the RecoSMA laser is not just used to reduce acne and acne scars. It is also used for the treatment of stretch marks, non-healing wounds, and severe keloid and hypertrophic scars.
At Arra Aesthetics, Pune, we also offer a wide range of non-laser treatments for acne scars. Here are a few of our acne scar removal treatments:

The RecoSMA laser functions on micro ablative & regenerative technology, so the results of the RecoSMA laser procedure are visible from the very first session onwards, maximum results are noticeable in 9 months, and there is a further improvement for 2 years.
RecoSMA laser acne scars treatment is totally safe and doesn't require general anesthesia or application of local anesthesia cream because it is a painless procedure. Also, for Indian skin types, the risk of complications such as burn injury, scarring, or pigmentation due to excessive heat is negligible.
Is acne scar removal the same as laser skin treatment?
No, laser acne scar removal is not the same as a laser skin treatment. Laser skin treatment can improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and pigmentation, but it cannot remove acne scars. However, the RecoSMA laser works by stimulating elastin and collagen production, which not only helps to remove acne scars but also gives smoother skin.
Is laser treatment worth it for acne and scars?
Laser treatment for acne scars is worth it. The RecoSMA laser used at Arra Aesthetics, Pune, not only gives permanent results but also narrows the pores to reduce the chances of acne occurring in the future.
Can laser treatment remove old acne scars?
Yes, laser treatment can remove old acne scars. The older the scar, the more difficult it is to treat, but it is still possible with the revolutionary RecoSMA laser.
Can laser treatment remove acne scars completely?
Laser acne treatment can help to reduce the appearance of acne scars, but the results can depend on a lot of different factors. The treatment cannot make a scar disappear completely, but it can make it much less visible.
No, generally speaking, Dr. Vasant Gholave only recommends RecoSMA laser treatment for acne scars after all active acne has cleared up.
