UNDERSTANDING THIS CONCERN
Understanding Acne Scars
Acne scars form when breakouts damage the deeper layers of the skin and the repair process leaves a permanent change in texture. Around one in three people with moderate to severe acne develops some scarring. The good news: modern resurfacing treatments can significantly improve how scars look, and the earlier active acne is controlled, the less scarring forms in the first place.
The Types of Acne Scarring
Ice pick scars are narrow, deep pits, the most stubborn type. Boxcar scars are broader depressions with defined edges. Rolling scars create a wave-like, uneven texture across the cheeks. Most people have a mix, and the mix determines the treatment plan. One important distinction: flat red or brown marks left after breakouts aren't scars at all, they're post-inflammatory pigmentation, which fades and is treated differently. Our pigmentation guide covers those.
How Acne Scar Treatment Works
Scar treatment works by resurfacing the skin and stimulating fresh collagen exactly where the scar tissue sits. RF microneedling delivers radiofrequency energy at depth to remodel scarred skin, TCA peels resurface more broadly, with the TCA CROSS technique targeting individual deep scars, and collagen-stimulating treatments like Rejuran support texture over a course. Most plans combine approaches across several sessions, matched to your scar types at assessment.
Realistic Expectations
Honesty first: no treatment removes acne scars one hundred percent. What a well-planned course delivers is significant visible improvement, smoother texture, softer shadows and scars that no longer dominate how your skin looks. Improvement builds over months as new collagen forms. Your nurse will assess your scarring and give you a realistic picture of what's achievable before anything begins.
