Consider acne scar treatment if you have visible pitted or raised scars from past acne; uneven skin texture that makes skin look rough; dark marks or redness left behind after breakouts; scars that affect how you feel about your appearance; or scarring that hasn’t improved despite topical treatments.
Microneedling Radiofrequency (MNRF) – Endymed Pro Max
This is one of the latest and most advanced technologies in acne scar treatment. MNRF delivers precise radiofrequency energy deep into the skin through microneedles, stimulating collagen production and tightening skin from within. It’s effective even for deep scars, with minimal downtime. Multiple sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart deliver the best results.
CO2 Laser Resurfacing (Fractional)
Fractional CO2 laser removes damaged skin layers and triggers new skin formation from the inside out. It’s especially effective for deep pitted scars such as ice-pick and boxcar scars. You may experience a few days of redness and peeling, but the improvement in texture is significant.
Pico Laser – Fotona Starwalker MAQX
A powerful Q-switched laser that targets pigmentation and redness from acne while improving overall skin clarity and smoothness. Ideal for superficial scars and post-acne discolouration, with very low downtime.
Chemical Peels
Medical-grade chemical peels gently remove the outer layer of dead skin, reducing dark spots and improving mild surface-level scars. They’re often used as part of a combination treatment plan for best results.
Subcision
A minimally invasive technique where a tiny needle releases scar tissue pulling the skin down, allowing the skin to lift naturally over time. Often combined with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) or exosome therapy for enhanced outcomes. Particularly effective for rolling scars.
What to Expect
Acne scar treatment is customised for each individual based on scar type, depth, and skin condition. Dr. Praneeta often designs a combination protocol—for example, subcision + MNRF + PRP in a staged approach—rather than relying on a single treatment. This multi-modal strategy delivers the best possible outcome. Most patients need 3–6 sessions to see significant improvement, with results continuing to build for months after treatment. During your consultation, Dr. Praneeta will assess your scars and recommend the most effective approach for your skin.
