Acne • Scars • Skin Texture
Comprehensive Acne and Acne Scar Treatment at Arvin Skin Hospital
Personalized medical and procedural solutions for active acne, dark marks, uneven texture and acne scars in Kabul.
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, but every patient’s acne is different. Some patients have blackheads and oily skin, others have inflamed pimples, painful nodules, hormonal acne, dark marks or permanent scars. At Arvin Skin Hospital, treatment starts with diagnosis, not guesswork.
Why Acne Needs Professional Treatment
Untreated or wrongly treated acne can lead to long-lasting pigmentation, enlarged pores, skin sensitivity and permanent scarring. Many patients also use strong creams, steroid mixtures or random antibiotics before visiting a dermatologist, which can worsen acne and damage the skin barrier.
Types of Acne We Treat
Acne Scar Types
Acne scars may be ice-pick, boxcar, rolling, hypertrophic or mixed. Dark spots after acne are not true scars; they are post-inflammatory pigmentation. Correct classification is essential because each scar type responds to different methods.
Treatment Options at Arvin
Realistic Timeline
Active acne usually needs 8–12 weeks to show meaningful improvement. Acne scar revision is slower and often requires several sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart. The goal is gradual improvement, smoother texture and healthier skin, not an overnight cure.
Important Advice
Do not pick, squeeze or scratch acne lesions. Early treatment reduces the risk of scars. If acne is painful, deep, recurrent or leaving marks, consult a dermatologist as soon as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can acne scars be completely removed?
Most acne scars can be improved significantly, but complete removal is not realistic for all patients. Combination treatment usually gives the best results.
Which treatment is best for acne scars?
It depends on scar type. Rolling scars may need subcision, ice-pick scars may need TCA CROSS, and texture may improve with microneedling or laser.
Can I treat acne and scars at the same time?
Active acne should be controlled first. Scar procedures are safer when inflammation is reduced.
