Acne Scarring

Reduce the appearance of acne scars and restore smoother, clearer skin with advanced treatments designed to improve texture, refine pores and stimulate natural collagen production for long-lasting skin rejuvenation.

TEXTURAL REPAIR

Remodeling & Resurfacing Acne Scarring

Active acne is a temporary inflammatory phase, but the structural scars it leaves behind can alter the skin's surface for years. Acne scarring is a complex, multi-layered structural concern where the skin’s natural healing process has produced either too little collagen (resulting in depressions) or too much (resulting in raised tissue). True correction requires looking past the surface to remodel the underlying dermal framework and restore smooth light-reflection.

The 4 Common Types of Acne Scars

Ice Pick Scars

Deep, very narrow, and pitted depressions that extend vertically into the deep dermis, appearing as though the skin was punctured by a sharp instrument.

Boxcar Scars

Round or oval depressions with sharp, steep, well-defined vertical edges that mimic chickenpox scars.

Rolling Scars

Wide, shallow depressions that create a wave-like, undulating texture across the cheeks or jawline, caused by fibrous bands pulling the skin downward.

Hypertrophic & Keloidal Scars

Raised, firm bumps of scar tissue that develop when the body overproduces dense collagen during the wound-healing phase.

The Science of Textural Revision

True acne scar revision is rarely achieved with a single device. Because a single face often exhibits a combination of scar types at varying depths, our clinical approach relies on Multi-Modality Remodeling:

Breaking Fibrous Tethers

For rolling scars, the underlying anchor bands pulling the skin down must be mechanically released to allow the surface to lift.

Stimulating Dermal Neocollagenesis

Deep depressions require targeted thermal or mechanical injuries to force fibroblasts to deposit brand-new, organized collagen fibers.

Ablating Sharp Edges

For boxcar and icepick scars, the sharp, shadowed borders must be gently vaporized or blended to make the skin surface uniformly smooth.

Advanced Structural Therapies

We design bespoke treatment plans that combine mechanical, thermal, and biostimulatory solutions depending on your specific scar profile.

  • Created by Sumana Chamrunworakiatfrom the Noun Project Fractional Laser Resurfacing
  • Created by Sumana Chamrunworakiatfrom the Noun Project Delivers micro-beams of laser energy to vaporize microscopic columns of scar tissue, forcing the skin to shed its damaged borders and rebuild smooth, flawless tissue.
  • Created by Sumana Chamrunworakiatfrom the Noun Project Deep boxcar scars, stubborn ice pick pits, and overall textural smoothing.
  • Created by Sumana Chamrunworakiatfrom the Noun Project RF Microneedling & Subcision
  • Created by Sumana Chamrunworakiatfrom the Noun Project Subcision mechanically releases deep, tethered scar bands, while radiofrequency (RF) microneedling delivers heat deep into the dermis to tighten and plump rolling depressions from within.
  • Created by Sumana Chamrunworakiatfrom the Noun Project Deep rolling scars and restoring a uniform contour to the cheeks and jawline.
  • Created by Sumana Chamrunworakiatfrom the Noun Project TCA Cross (Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars)
  • Created by Sumana Chamrunworakiatfrom the Noun Project The precise application of high-concentration Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) directly inside deep, narrow pits to intentionally trigger a localized, rapid burst of collagen synthesis.
  • Created by Sumana Chamrunworakiatfrom the Noun Project Narrow, deep ice pick scars that lasers cannot easily reach.

Reclaim Your Skin’s Natural Texture

Acne scars reside beneath the surface, meaning over-the-counter serums simply cannot bridge the structural gap. Let our clinical practitioners design a targeted, progressive treatment plan that fits your lifestyle, downtime availability, and aesthetic goals.
