Dr. Sania Khan's Approach
Customised Scar Protocols — Not One-Size-Fits-All
Not all acne scars are the same. Dr. Sania Khan begins with a thorough scar morphology assessment to identify your scar types (rolling, boxcar, ice-pick, hypertrophic) and skin tone before designing a customised multi-step protocol. All protocols are safe for Fitzpatrick III–VI Pakistani skin.
- Rolling scars → RF Microneedling + PRP
- Boxcar scars → CO2 Fractional Laser + PRP
- Ice-pick scars → TCA Cross + CO2 Laser
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation → Q-Switch Laser + peels
- Active acne → medical topical + laser protocol first
- All protocols safe for Pakistani skin tones

Frequently Asked Questions
Not entirely, but most scars can be improved substantially — often by 50 to 80 percent in appearance. The goal is meaningful, natural improvement rather than flawless skin.
It depends on your scar type. Rolling scars respond to subcision and RF microneedling, boxcar scars to laser, and icepick scars to focused techniques. Most people need a combination.
Yes, with the right choices. RF microneedling is considered safe across skin tones and is often preferred, while ablative lasers are used more conservatively to limit pigmentation risk.
Usually three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, since collagen rebuilds gradually. Deeper scarring can need more.
Sessions start from PKR 10,000, with the final cost depending on the treatments used in your plan. You get a session-by-session estimate at consultation.
