Acne Scars

Smooth your skin with advanced acne scar removal — achieving up to 50–80% improvement in texture and appearance.

About Acne Scars

Acne scars form when skin heals unevenly after inflammation, creating ice pick, boxcar, or rolling scars — indented, raised, or textured areas that become more noticeable over time.

Through advanced acne scar removal combining CO2 Fractional Laser, Subcision, microneedling, and dermal fillers, significant texture improvement is achievable for most patients.

Why Treat It Early

Scars settle deeper into the skin over time, becoming progressively more resistant to treatment. Early collagen remodelling responds better — delivering more noticeable results with fewer sessions.

The sooner treatment begins, the smoother and more cost-effective the skin renewal process.

Prevent scars from settling deeper and becoming harder to treat
Achieve up to 50–80% improvement in scar texture and appearance
Stimulate collagen regeneration while the skin is most responsive
Reduce the total number of sessions needed for significant results

Your Treatment Journey

1. Detailed Scar Assessment

We evaluate the type, depth, and severity of your scars — ice pick, boxcar, or rolling — as each responds differently to treatment.

2. Personalised Treatment Plan

A multi-modality plan is tailored for your scar type. A series of 3 to 6 sessions is generally recommended for significant improvement.

3. Targeted Skin Repair Phase

Treatments break down scar tissue and stimulate deep collagen production. Topical numbing creams are applied beforehand; local anaesthesia may also be used for comfort.

4. Collagen Regeneration & Skin Renewal

New collagen forms gradually — optimal results typically develop over 3 to 6 months as the skin rebuilds from within.

5. Progressive Improvement Over Sessions

Each session delivers progressive improvement in scar depth, texture, and overall appearance — results compound over the full treatment course.

Treatment & Results

Our multi-modality acne scar removal approach can achieve 50 to 80% improvement in texture and appearance. Downtime varies: laser resurfacing may involve 3–5 days of social downtime; subcision and fillers have minimal recovery.

CO2 Fractional Laser resurfaces the skin and reduces scar depth significantly
Subcision releases deep, tethered scar tissue to improve smoothness
Microneedling stimulates collagen to repair and lift indented scars
Dermal fillers restore volume to depressed scars with minimal downtime
Chemical peels refine surface texture and accelerate skin renewal between sessions

Quick answers to questions you may have

Can acne scars be completely removed?

While 100% removal is rare, our multi-modality approach aims for a significant improvement of 50-80% in texture and appearance, making scars far less noticeable and restoring a smoother complexion.

Is acne scar treatment painful?

We prioritize your comfort. Topical numbing creams are applied before procedures like CO2 Fractional Laser or Subcision. Some treatments may involve local anesthesia to ensure a highly tolerable experience.

How many sessions are typically required?

For significant improvement, a series of 3-6 sessions is generally recommended. The exact number depends on the severity, depth, and type of scarring (ice pick, boxcar, or rolling).

What is the downtime after treatment?

Downtime varies by treatment. Laser resurfacing may involve 3-5 days of social downtime (redness and peeling), while subcision or dermal fillers have minimal immediate downtime.

How long does it take to see the final results?

Collagen remodeling takes time. While you may see initial improvements shortly after healing, the final, optimal results from scar revision treatments typically develop over 3 to 6 months as new collagen continues to form.

Can I treat active acne and acne scars at the same time?

Generally, it is recommended to control active acne first before aggressively treating scars, as new breakouts can cause new scarring. However, some treatments, like certain lasers, can address both simultaneously. Dr. Alan will determine the best sequence for your skin.
