Acne & Acne Scars
Acne & Acne Scars Treatment in Chandigarh
Acne and acne scarring are related but different concerns. Active acne involves clogged pores and inflammation, while true acne scars are structural changes that can remain after deeper inflammation heals. At Ageology, assessment separates active breakouts, post-acne marks and established scars before treatment is selected.
Diagnostic Precision
Acne develops when sebum and dead skin cells block pores and inflammation follows. Deeper inflammatory lesions can damage surrounding tissue and heal with abnormal collagen, leading to pitted scars.
Before selecting an acne or acne-scar treatment, we assess three key markers:
- Inflammatory Balance: Reviews active breakouts, clogged pores and the severity of inflammation.
- Scar Typology: Maps ice-pick, boxcar and rolling scars because each scar type may require a different treatment depth or modality.
- Vascular vs Melanin Marks: Separates red post-inflammatory marks from brown post-inflammatory pigmentation and true textural scars.

Step 01
Digital Scan & Assessment
The skin is assessed for active acne, pigment, redness and scar morphology.
Step 02
Stabilisation
If active acne is present, treatment first focuses on reducing inflammation and congestion before more intensive scar procedures are considered.
Step 03
Reconstruction
Once acne is controlled, scar-specific procedures such as microneedling, Morpheus8 or fractional resurfacing may be used according to scar depth and skin type.
