About Dr. SanjanaEvery treatment, explainedBook consultationMost acne scars can be made far less visible, and shallow ones can flatten almost completely. Dr. Sanjana first checks the scar type and depth and whether acne is still active, then plans fractional CO2 laser, subcision, TCA CROSS or peels, often combined over a few sessions.
Acne scar removal in BangaloreCan acne scars be removed?Acne scar treatmentYes, when the laser and its settings suit your skin tone.

Laser hair removalLaser treatmentLaser for Indian skinBy treating the cause first. Sun spots, melasma and marks left by acne each need a different plan: daily sunscreen and prescription creams, then chemical peels, carbon toning or Q-switched laser in stages. Melasma needs extra care, because the wrong laser can make it darker. The same peels and carbon toning are the usual open pores treatment in Indiranagar, because oil and rough texture are what make pores look large.
Pigmentation treatmentDark spot removalSunscreen and skincare basicsIt depends on how much hair you have lost. PRP and GFC suit early thinning while the follicles are still alive. A FUE hair transplant is for areas that are already bald, and most people still need medication or PRP afterwards to protect the rest. A hair consultation (₹849) starts with the cause.
