More about Acne Scars

Acne scars form when inflammation disrupts the deeper layers of the skin. What remains is not colour, but architecture. Uneven texture, visible depressions, and altered light reflection.

At Tune Aesthetics, acne scars are not approached as marks. They are treated as structural changes that require careful rebuilding, not surface correction.

Gentle

I could say tune aesthetic is the best in city. They listen to the patient and treat accordingly unlike most of the docs. Dr.sreenidhi and priya are the best, they are very gentle and friendly.

Incredible

I’ve always been skeptical about laser hair reduction for my skin type. Tune Aesthetics truly believes in the vision of inclusivity and care for all skin tones and types, and it’s wonderful to know that resonated with me. Highly recommend!
