About Acne Scar Treatment
Acne scars can significantly impact your confidence, but advanced treatment options can dramatically improve skin texture and appearance. At Aestique Clinic, we offer a comprehensive range of surgical and non-surgical acne scar treatments tailored to your specific scar type — including ice pick, boxcar, rolling, and hypertrophic scars.
Acne scars are a common concern that can persist long after active acne has cleared. At Aestique Clinic, we offer a comprehensive approach to acne scar treatment, combining multiple modalities for the best possible results. Our surgeons evaluate each patient's unique scar pattern to create a customized treatment plan.
Treatment options include subcision, microneedling with PRP, chemical peels, laser resurfacing, dermal fillers, and in some cases surgical excision. Many patients benefit from a combination approach that addresses different types of scars (ice pick, boxcar, and rolling) simultaneously.
Acne Scar Treatment Options
- Microneedling with PRP: Stimulates collagen production using micro-injuries combined with platelet-rich plasma for deep scar remodeling.
- Subcision: A surgical technique that releases tethered scars from underlying tissue, allowing the skin to rise and smooth out.
- Chemical Peels: Medical-grade peels that remove damaged skin layers, promoting new collagen formation and smoother texture.
- Laser Resurfacing: Fractional CO2 or erbium laser treatments that precisely remove scar tissue and stimulate skin renewal.
- Dermal Fillers: Injectable fillers that lift depressed scars to the level of surrounding skin for immediate improvement.
- Scar Excision: Surgical removal of individual deep scars, replaced with a fine line that heals more smoothly.

Am I a Good Candidate?
Acne scar treatment may be appropriate if you:
- Have permanent acne scars (ice pick, boxcar, rolling, or hypertrophic)
- Have completed active acne treatment and your skin is clear
- Have realistic expectations about gradual improvement over multiple sessions
- Are committed to proper skincare and sun protection during treatment
- Are not currently taking isotretinoin (Accutane) — must be off for 6+ months
- Are in good overall health with no active skin infections
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery depends on the treatment modality used:
- Microneedling with PRP: Redness for 1-3 days. Resume normal activities in 24-48 hours.
- Chemical Peels: 3-7 days of peeling depending on depth. Avoid sun exposure.
- Subcision: Bruising for 5-7 days. Minimal activity restrictions.
- Laser Resurfacing: 5-10 days of redness and peeling. Social downtime recommended.
- All Treatments: Strict sun protection (SPF 50+) is essential throughout the treatment course.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions are needed for acne scar treatment?
Most patients require 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for noticeable improvement. The exact number depends on the severity and type of scarring. Your surgeon will create a treatment plan during consultation.
Can all types of acne scars be treated?
Yes, different techniques address different scar types. Ice pick scars may benefit from TCA CROSS or punch excision, boxcar scars respond well to subcision and laser, and rolling scars improve with microneedling and subcision.
Will acne scars completely disappear?
While significant improvement is achievable, complete removal of all scarring is not always possible. Most patients see 50-80% improvement after a full treatment course, which makes a dramatic difference in appearance.
Is acne scar treatment painful?
Topical numbing cream is applied before all treatments to ensure comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as mild to moderate and very tolerable.
