Before and After: Visible Reduction in Acne Scarring
Patients who complete their course of treatment typically experience significant improvements:
Before: Skin affected by acne shows deep boxcar scars, rolling scars, ice-pick scars, and uneven pigmentation from acne breakouts.
After: Post-treatment results reveal smoother skin texture, dramatically reduced scar depth, and a more uniform complexion. Advanced treatments such as fractional CO₂ laser can yield up to 70% improvement in the visibility of acne scars, even with deeper scars.
While maintaining realistic expectations is important, our treatments have consistently delivered remarkable improvements in the appearance of scars caused by acne.
Understanding Acne Scar Treatment Options
Acne scar treatment encompasses various procedures aimed to reduce the appearance of scars formed after severe acne breakouts. Scarring develops when inflammation damages collagen during healing, creating different types of marks:
- Atrophic Scars: Depressed scars including boxcars, ice-pick, and rolling scars
- Hypertrophic Scars: Raised scars resulting from excess collagen production
- Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Darkened patches following acne lesions
Our treatments focus on breaking down scar tissue and stimulating new collagen production to improve the appearance of acne scars, resulting in smoother, more even skin.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which is the best treatment for acne scars?
The optimal treatment depends on your specific scar type and skin condition. Fractional laser therapy is highly effective for deeper scars, while microneedling works well for rolling scars. A consultation with our dermatologist will determine the best course of treatment for your individual case.
Can acne scars be completely removed?
While complete removal is challenging, modern treatments can significantly reduce the visibility of acne scars, achieving 70-90% improvement in most cases. The effectiveness depends on the depth of scarring and your skin’s response to treatment.

Are acne scar treatments permanent?
While many treatments deliver long-lasting results, some cases may require maintenance. Factors such as aging and skin health can influence the longevity of improvements, but most patients enjoy permanent reduction in scar appearance.
Is surgical treatment for acne scars worth it?
Surgical options such as subcision are highly effective for certain scar types, particularly when bands of scar tissue create tethered depressions. These procedures are often recommended for severe cases where non-surgical methods may not suffice.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients require 3-6 sessions for optimal results, depending on scar severity. Your treatment plan will be customized based on your specific needs, with regular assessments to track progress.
Is there downtime after acne scar treatment?
Recovery time varies by treatment type. Minimally invasive treatments like microneedling require 1-3 days, while more intensive laser treatments may need 5-7 days of downtime.
