Acne is a common skin condition that can sometimes leave behind scars that persist long after active breakouts have resolved. Acne scars can affect confidence and skin texture, and they often require tailored treatment depending on their severity and type.
Acne scars are typically classified into three major types:
Boxcar and ice pick scars are generally considered more severe and fall under Grade 4 scarring. Rolling scars, depending on their depth, usually fall under Grade 1 and 2. Grade 3 scarring is often a combination of rolling scars with fewer boxcar and ice pick scars.
Scar treatments are customized based on the type and grade of scarring. At Arna Dermatology & Aesthetics, we use a combination of advanced technologies and supportive treatments to deliver optimal results. Each treatment plan is carefully designed to suit individual skin needs and goals.
The most common treatment options include:
Stimulates collagen, tightens skin and reduces acne scars using tiny needles and radiofrequency for smoother, firmer, youthful skin.
Powerful laser resurfacing that targets pigmentation, wrinkles and scars for smoother, tighter, rejuvenated skin with minimal downtime.
Advanced skin regeneration treatment using cell-derived vesicles to boost healing, reduce inflammation and enhance skin tone and texture.
Dermal fillers restore volume, smooth wrinkles and enhance facial contours, offering a youthful, refreshed appearance with immediate, natural-looking results.
Hydrate skin deeply, restore volume, smooth fine lines and enhance facial contours for a fresh, youthful appearance.
Subcision is a gentle, effective treatment that boosts collagen and smooths skin, greatly improving the appearance of acne scars.
Uses your own blood’s platelets to stimulate skin repair, reduce fine lines, and improve texture naturally and safely.
Each treatment works differently and is suited for different skin types, scar grades, and age groups. Fillers or boosters are done once in 18months and 6 months (respectively for maintenance of the results. All the other treatments are usually spaced 6 weeks apart and most patients require 4 to 6 sessions, depending on the skin’s healing capacity and collagen production.
We often combine 2 or more types of treatments in one session to maximise the results and to save time for our patients who live over seas and ae here only for a month or two.
We also complement procedural treatments with oral medications, tailored to the individual’s age, gender, hormonal profile, and reproductive considerations. In every session, we reassess skin response and offer personalized advice to enhance healing and ensure the best results.
