Acne Scar Treatment
PK

Board-Certified Physician

Treating acne scars requires thorough evaluation and customized treatment plans. When previous treatments like microneedling haven't produced satisfactory results, reassessment is essential.
Comprehensive Evaluation: Determines scar depth, compares collagen in healthy versus scarred areas, assesses healing potential, and identifies pigmentation tendencies (hypo or hyperpigmentation). These factors guide treatment selection.
Available Treatment Modalities:
Medical Grade Chemical Peels: Controlled exfoliation to improve skin texture and reduce scar appearance.
PRP + Microneedling: Combination therapy stimulating healing and collagen production more effectively than microneedling alone.
Fillers: Including Bellafill and Belotero to raise depressed scars and improve skin smoothness.
Fraxel Laser: Fractional laser technology promotes collagen remodeling and skin resurfacing.
Customized Treatment Protocols: Rather than trying every available procedure, evaluation leads to personalized treatment plans specifically designed for your scars and healing capacity.
What to Avoid: Aggressive modalities like CO2 laser or abrasive chemical peels may worsen scarring in patients with poor healing potential—common among those with acne scars.
Modern Success: Current cosmetic medicine offers numerous effective procedures for successfully treating acne scars when properly selected and combined.
