Acne scars are marks left on the skin after acne lesions heal, resulting from inflammation and damage to the skin's deeper layers. They form when acne penetrates deeply into the skin, disrupting collagen production during the healing process.
Types of Acne Scars and Their Preferred Treatment Modalities:
While many treatments can significantly reduce the appearance of acne scars, complete removal is not always possible. The effectiveness of treatment varies based on scar type and individual skin response.
Effective treatments include:
Laser treatment involves using focused light to remove damaged skin layers and stimulate collagen production, leading to smoother skin over time.
Microneedling involves using fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, promoting collagen and elastin production. It is effective for atrophic scars and can improve skin texture.
Typically, multiple sessions (usually 3-6) are required for noticeable results, depending on the treatment type and individual scar severity.
Yes, certain treatments like microneedling and specific laser therapies can be safely used on darker skin tones, but it's essential to consult with our doctor for personalized recommendations.
Many treatments can be tailored for sensitive skin; however, a consultation with a doctor is crucial to choose appropriate options that minimize irritation.
Possible side effects include redness, swelling, and temporary discomfort. In rare cases, there may be a risk of scarring or changes in pigmentation.

Avoid sun exposure, discontinue certain medications (like retinoids), and consult your our doctor about any specific pre-treatment instructions.
Follow post-care instructions such as avoiding sun exposure, using gentle skincare products, and keeping the treated area clean to promote healing.

Hear It from Our Happy Patients
I had deep acne scars that made me very self-conscious. After three sessions of microneedling with , I noticed significant improvement. While the scars are not completely gone, my skin texture has improved a lot.
I opted for a combination of chemical peels and subcision for my scars. The results were gradual but noticeable after a few months. The scars are now softer and less visible. The doctor explained that no treatment can completely erase scars, but I am very happy with the progress
I struggled with pitted scars on my cheeks. The fractional CO2 laser sessions made a big difference. My scars have reduced by about 60%, and my skin feels smoother. The downtime was minimal, and the clinic staff was very supportive.
I had rolling scars, that’s what doctor told me here. After two sessions of subcision and fillers, the scars have improved by nearly 70%. I understand that maintenance treatments may be needed, but I'm confident to continue.
As someone with darker skin, I was worried about hyperpigmentation after laser treatment. The clinic reassured me and tailored the procedure for my skin type. After microneedling and chemical peels, my scars have faded, and my skin tone looks more even.
I was skeptical at first, but the combination of CO2 and Microneedling has worked wonders for my scars. My skin is far from perfect, but the improvement is beyond what I expected. The team set realistic expectations, and I appreciate their honesty.
I tried a few treatments elsewhere before, but the personalized care I received here made a difference. After punch excision and fractional RF therapy, my scars are much less visible. The results took time, but it was worth the wait.
