Question 1

I'm really concerned about my very deep acne scars and was wondering how effective laser treatment might be. Are there any side effects to worry about with this treatment? How many sessions do you think it usually takes to see results for acne scars? Also, if you have any idea, how much would one session typically cost in Bangalore? Are there any specialists you would recommend for laser treatment?

Accepted Answer

Laser treatment for acne scars can be very effective, especially for deep scars. It works by stimulating collagen production to help improve the appearance of scars. Common side effects may include redness, swelling, or temporary changes in skin pigmentation. The number of sittings required for acne scar treatment can vary depending on the severity of the scars, but typically multiple sessions are needed for optimal results. In Bangalore, the cost of one sitting for laser treatment of acne scars can range from Rs. 3000 to Rs. 8000, depending on the type of laser used and the clinic. It is recommended to consult with a dermatologist or a specialist in laser treatments for acne scars to determine the best treatment plan for your specific needs.

Hi Prasad, if you have stopped applying 10% Minoxidil for two months and want to start using it again, there may be a temporary decrease in effectiveness initially.

Using coconut oil under the foreskin can actually lead to a buildup of smegma and increase the risk of infections. A better substitute for keeping the area clean is to use a mild, unscented soap and warm water during daily hygiene routines. Additionally, applying a thin layer of over-the-counter antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream twice a day can help prevent smegma buildup and maintain proper hygiene.
