I have deep acne scars on my face. Thus, for treating them is plastic surgery required? If yes, then how much it may cost?

Answered by Pankaj Kamble

Hello, Acne Scars can be treated by Cosmetic Surgeons and best procedure for acne scars treatment is mentioned below:

  1. Chemical peels: In this method, strong chemicals are used to remove the top layer of skin to smoothen the depressed acne scars and provide the skin with an even color.
  2. Laser skin surfacing: This is another popular technique for treating superficial scars with the use of a laser which is a device that uses a high-energy on the top layer of the skin. It works instantly and is done under local anesthesia or mild sedation.
  3. Dermabrasion: It is the process of mechanical sanding of the upper layers of the scar, in which the new layer replaces the ground layer of the skin. This method is performed under anesthesia and the recovery usually takes 2 weeks.
  4. Micro dermabrasion: This method of treatment is performed by scraping away the top layer of the scarred skin by passing tiny particles through a vacuum tube. Mild scars can be treated with this method but multiple treatments may be required for effective results.
  5. Soft tissue augmentation: It is another successful method to remove shallow acne scars. This is done with the help of an injectable filler in the tissues. These fillers last for about nine months but depict instant results.
  6. Micro needling: It is the process that uses acupuncture-like needles to pierce the skin. These micro-injuries help to restart the skin's self-repair mechanism, which leads to the production of new collagen. The result is typically smoother, firmer looking skin.
  7. Fat grafting: This is a technique to treat acne which takes fat from other areas of the body and injects it into the scars to fill the depressed areas. Some deep pitted scars are treated by cutting the core of the scar with a small needle and then stitching up the hole.

And regarding the cost, it varies from doctor to doctor So, only after complete examination further information can be provided. I hope this answers your query. You can find cosmetic surgeons on our page - Cosmetic Surgeons in India.

I am 25yrs old female...having urticaria from three days...before this I have a history of fever for 2days three days back....nd stomach pain that comes nd goes for min ...currently I am taking citrezine pantoprazole and cefixime...today my reports came nd it shows albumin2.4 nd raised ESR and crp

Female | 25

Hives, a fever and stomach aches suck. Plus your tests showing low albumin and high ESR and CRP are like major red flags. It could be that there is inflammation somewhere in your body. You need to see your doctor again so they can try and work out what’s causing it and how best to treat you.

Hi doc, I have an added areola around my nipples it's not dark in color it's just a light brownish thing with some little hairs that are growing, I went on my periods fully, but they came early because of the emergency pill I used. I then took two pregnancy tests after seeing the change in my breasts and they were all negative I'm curious now what could cause the change

Female | 24

The emergency pill can cause hormonal changes, and this might result in breast changes such as an extra areola that is light brown with some hairs. Even if the pregnancy tests are negative, there could still be hormonal fluctuations leading to variations in breasts. Most likely, it is nothing serious and will return to normal soon. Watch out for it but if you are worried about anything then feel free to ask a doctor for advice.

I am using salicylic acid cleanser and niacinamide serum. Does using orange peel paste once a week affects skin or will it get along with salicylic acid and niacinamide skin care routine

Female | 22

This is a safe approach if you include orange peel paste in your skin care regime once per week. However, one must be aware that it could irritate or sensitize the skin in some cases. Be sure to do a patch test with the orange peel paste before using it along side salicylic acid cleanser and niacinamide serumand if any adverse reaction occurs, then stop its use.

I have dark tan black on my neck

Male | 30

When your crook finger is deep, we call that acanthosis nigricans. It only appears in thick, dark aluminum and is always misdiagnosed as skin abnormalities. Weight and diabetes are the main accused ones. Sometimes, it can also relate to hormonal problems. The proper approach is to eat healthy and manage your weight.

Salic cu glyco peeling is gud for skin?

Female | 30

Salicylic acid and glycolic acid peels can be beneficial for skin.. Both ingredients exfoliate, unclog pores, and improve skin texture .. SALICYLIC ACID is oil soluble, making it an effective treatment for acne-prone skin.... GLYCOLIC ACID is water soluble, making it a good choice for dry skin. However, these peels should only be done by a qualified professional, as they can cause skin damage if not done properly . It's important to discuss any concerns with a DERMATOLOGIST before undergoing the treatment.

I have problem of cavity in my teeth. I have long time back pain. I have problem in my stomach digestion. I have appendix.while defection ,I have problem.

Male | 18

It seems you have several health issues. All these might be connected with different things. The reason for the bad smell on the skin may be due to sweat or bacteria. Dry skin or a fungus can cause dandruff. Cavity comes from eating sugary food. Back pain could come from bad posture; stomach trouble could be caused by what you eat or stress. Also having an appendix problem may make it hurt when you use the toilet.
