Not all acne scars are treated the same way
Some scars are broad and shallow. Others are narrow and deeper. Many patients also have mixed scar patterns, which is why treatment often starts with identifying the scar type properly before deciding on the most suitable treatment plan.
Different acne scars may need different treatment approaches
Rolling Scars
Broad, shallow depressions with sloping edges. These are often linked to tethering beneath the skin.
Boxcar Scars
Wider depressions with more defined edges. They may be shallow or deeper depending on severity.
Ice Pick Scars
Narrow, deeper-looking scars that usually need a more targeted treatment strategy.
Why some acne scars do not improve with facials or skincare alone
Acne scars often form beneath the skin surface. That is why surface-level treatments may not be enough once true textural scarring has developed.
When there is tethering, deeper depressions, or mixed scar patterns, treatment planning usually needs to go beyond one simple approach.

Frequently asked questions
Is laser the best treatment for acne scars?
Laser can be useful for many acne scars, but it is not always the only or best option. Rolling, boxcar and ice pick scars may need different approaches, and mixed scars often need a more personalised treatment plan.
How many sessions are usually needed?
This depends on the scar pattern, severity, treatment choice and how the skin responds. Mixed acne scars often need treatment over multiple sessions.
Is there downtime after acne scar treatment?
Downtime depends on the treatment used. Some options involve limited downtime, while others may involve redness, swelling, dryness, bruising or peeling for several days.
Can one treatment address all scar types?
Not always. Many patients have mixed scar types, so one treatment alone may not address every scar pattern equally well.
Can I still do acne scar treatment if I have active acne?
That depends on the pattern and severity of active acne. In some patients, it may be better to first stabilise acne before starting a more intensive acne scar treatment plan.
