Punch Excision for Acne Scars at Skin and Laser Clinic Multan
Struggling with deep, stubborn acne scars that won’t fade with creams or peels? Punch Excision is an advanced dermatological procedure now available at Skin and Laser Clinic Multan under the expert care of Dr. Nighat Kashif.

What is Punch Excision
Punch Excision is a minor surgical procedure used to remove deep acne scars, such as ice pick and boxcar scars. A small, circular surgical tool (punch) is used to excise the scar tissue, and the skin is then carefully closed with stitches. Over time, the treated area heals with smoother and less noticeable skin.
