Acne scars
Rolling and boxcar scars can become shallower over a course; ice-pick scars often need extra treatment.
Scar revisionCollagen induction therapy for acne scars, open pores and uneven texture — ₹5,000 per session, 3 sessions 21 days apart.
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, uses a sterile device with very fine needles to make thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin. As the skin repairs them, it builds new collagen and elastin, which can soften acne scars, refine texture and improve the look of enlarged pores. At Kezza Clinic it is performed under Dr. Neelam Choudhary and Dr. Amrita Mukhija at ₹5,000 per session, usually as 3 sessions spaced 21 days apart.
See microneedling cost and sessionsControlled micro-injuries trigger the skin's own repair process, so new collagen keeps building for weeks after each session.
Microneedling works with your skin's natural healing. The device's fine needles create tiny, evenly spaced micro-injuries. The skin responds the way it does to any small wound: it calms inflammation, then builds new collagen and elastin over the following weeks, and finally remodels it. The result is skin that can look smoother and firmer, with softer scars.
The needle depth is adjusted for each area — shallower on thin skin around the eyes and forehead, deeper over acne scars on the cheeks. Numbing cream is applied first, and a soothing serum such as hyaluronic acid is often used during or after the session.
Because collagen builds slowly, results appear gradually. Many people notice smoother, brighter skin within a couple of weeks; scar improvement is best judged 6 to 12 weeks after the last session of a course. A course of at least 3 sessions, 21 days apart is usual.
Some clinics also offer radiofrequency (RF) microneedling, which adds heat through the needles. Ask your doctor which method your plan uses and whether the price is different. Deep, narrow 'ice-pick' scars often need other techniques too — see scar revision.

At Kezza Clinic, microneedling costs ₹5,000 per session. Most people start with a course of 3 sessions, 21 days apart; your doctor confirms the plan after examining your skin.
A minimum of 3 sessions, 21 days apart, is usual. Deeper or more widespread scars can need more sessions, or a combination with other scar treatments.
A numbing cream is applied for 30 to 45 minutes first, so most people feel pressure and light prickling rather than pain. Bony areas can feel more sensitive.
Skin usually looks red, like mild sunburn, for 1 to 3 days, and may feel dry for a few days more. Most people return to work within a day or two.
Skin often looks brighter within a couple of weeks. Because collagen keeps building, scar and texture improvement is best judged 6 to 12 weeks after the last session.
Microneedling is generally considered suitable for darker skin types, with a lower risk of dark marks than many resurfacing lasers. Settings, aftercare and sun protection still matter.
Home rollers have shorter needles, are harder to keep sterile and are easy to misuse, which can cause infection or marks. Clinic microneedling uses sterile, depth-controlled devices and doctor supervision.
