Acne Scar Treatment Cost in Pune: A Practical Guide
One of the first questions patients ask when they visit a dermatologist for acne scars is:
“How much will acne scar treatment cost?”
The honest answer is that there is no single price for acne-scar treatment.
The total cost depends on the type of scar, number of areas being treated, procedure selected, number of sessions required and whether combination treatment is necessary.
At Sahawas Skin Clinic, we recommend assessing the scars before deciding on a treatment plan rather than quoting one generic “acne scar removal” price. The clinic provides personalised acne and acne-scar treatment in Karvenagar, Pune.
What determines acne scar treatment cost?
1. Type of acne scar
This is probably the biggest factor.
For example:
- Ice-pick scars may require TCA CROSS or punch techniques.
- Rolling scars may require subcision.
- Boxcar scars may respond to resurfacing procedures.
- Mixed scars may require a combination approach.
Therefore, two patients with “acne scars” can have completely different treatment plans.
2. Treatment chosen
Common procedures include:
| Treatment | Common use |
|---|---|
| Microneedling | Mild–moderate textural scars |
| RF microneedling | Selected boxcar/rolling scars |
| Fractional laser | Texture and atrophic scars |
| Subcision | Particularly rolling scars |
| TCA CROSS | Selected ice-pick scars |
| Chemical peels | Selected superficial scars/pigmentation |
| Combination treatments | Mixed or more complex scarring |
Evidence reviews support using different modalities according to scar subtype rather than treating all acne scars identically.
3. Number of sessions
Most established acne scars do not disappear after one treatment.
Patients may require several sessions spaced apart to allow the skin to heal and collagen remodeling to occur.
The exact number cannot be accurately predicted without examining the skin.
4. Combination treatment
A patient with mixed ice-pick, rolling and boxcar scars may require more than one modality.
For example:
Subcision + fractional resurfacing
or
TCA CROSS + microneedling
or another combination selected according to the scar pattern.
Research has found that combination approaches can be useful for certain combinations of acne-scar types.

Why we don’t give one fixed “acne scar removal” price
A fixed price can be misleading.https://www.linkedin.com/posts/dr-mukta-tulpule-1949605b_the-way-we-approach-anti-aging-in-aesthetic-activity-7475519096348921856-HS2E
For example, a patient with a few ice-pick scars may require a completely different procedure from someone with extensive rolling and boxcar scars.
Similarly, treating only the cheeks is different from treating the cheeks, temples and forehead.
A personalised assessment allows the treatment plan and cost to be explained before starting the procedure.
