Acne Scar
Home /Acne Scar
At Skinaite Clinic, we understand that dealing with acne is already a challenge, and the scars left behind can feel like a lasting reminder of those difficult days. You don’t need to feel discouraged—we’re here, and together, we can manage this. At our clinic, we’re here to guide and support you with safe, effective, and personalized care.
Let’s take a few moments to explain everything you need to know about acne scars—what they are, why they happen, and how we can help you manage and treat them.
What Exactly Are Acne Scars?
When acne heals, it can leave behind scars, especially if the blemish was deep enough to damage tissue. As your body tries to repair the skin, it may not always heal perfectly, leading to scarring.
If too much collagen forms during the healing process, raised scars might develop. If too little collagen is made, it may leave indentations or pits. The good news is that with the right treatment and guidance, these scars can be improved significantly—and sometimes even fade completely.
Types of Acne Scars
Understanding the type of scar helps us choose the best treatment for you. There are mainly two types:
1. Atrophic Scars (Indented Scars)
These are the most common. You may notice:
- Ice Pick Scars – look like tiny, deep holes.
- Boxcar Scars – Appear as broad, indented marks with defined edges.
- Rolling Scars – Wavy, uneven dips that give a bumpy appearance.
2. Hypertrophic or Keloid Scars (Raised Scars)
These appear thick, raised, and sometimes itchy. They’re more common on areas like the chest, shoulders, and back.
Don’t worry—we can treat both types, and we’ll help you decide what suits you best.
What Symptoms Might You Notice?
Here’s what you might experience with acne scars:
- Indentations or small holes in the skin
- Raised or bumpy patches
- Dark or red marks that stay long after pimples heal
- Rough or uneven skin texture
- Feeling self-conscious or emotionally affected
If you notice any of these signs, it’s a good idea to talk to us early on. Early treatment can prevent further scarring.
Why Do Acne Scars Happen?
There are many reasons acne scars can form, and understanding them helps us guide your care better:
- Picking or squeezing pimples (please avoid this—it damages the skin!)
- Severe acne or cystic breakouts
- Delayed treatment of active acne
- Hormonal imbalances
- Touching or scratching acne repeatedly
- Genetics (some people naturally scar more easily)
- Sun exposure on healing skin
But the good news is: even if scars have already formed, we can still treat them with great success.
How Do We Diagnose Acne Scars?
When you visit us, we’ll gently examine your skin to understand:
- The type and depth of your scars
- Your skin tone and healing pattern
- Whether any active acne is still present
We may take photos to monitor your progress and create a personalized treatment plan that suits your skin best. No need for any tests or lab work—just a careful and compassionate skin assessment.
How Can We Treat Acne Scars?
There’s no “one-size-fits-all,” and that’s why we customize treatment based on your skin, scar type, and comfort level. We offer a variety of proven, gentle treatments to help restore your skin’s texture and tone:
Topical Treatments
These include creams or gels that contain retinoids, Vitamin C, or mild acids to help even out skin tone and reduce pigmentation.
Chemical Peels
These gently remove the top layer of dead skin, promoting new, smoother skin to come forward.
Microneedling
This technique uses tiny needles to stimulate natural collagen production and is very helpful for indented scars.
Laser Therapy
Laser treatments target deeper scars and uneven skin tone. These methods often work even better when combined with complementary therapies.
Fillers
Our safe filler treatments help lift sunken scars, allowing them to blend more smoothly with the rest of your skin.
Subcision
This is a minor procedure to release the bands pulling down the skin in rolling scars.
Surgical Scar Removal
For very deep scars, a tiny surgical excision may be done under local anesthesia.
Steroid Injections
For raised or keloid scars, we gently inject a steroid to flatten and soften the scar.
Most treatments are done in multiple sessions. But we’ll be with you through every step—your comfort and satisfaction are always our priority.
How Can You Prevent Acne Scars?
Here are some kind reminders to protect your skin and reduce scarring:
- Don’t pop or squeeze your pimples
- Wash your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser
- Apply sunscreen daily
- Avoid harsh scrubbing
- Get early treatment for acne
- Stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet
A few simple habits can make a big difference!

FAQ’s
We understand that this is a common concern. And while many scars can be completely removed or made almost invisible, some deeper scars may improve greatly but not vanish entirely.
That said, most of our patients see 60–90% improvement, and we work hard to help you get the best possible results with the latest techniques.
Recovery depends on which treatment you undergo:
- Topicals or peels: Little to no downtime
- Microneedling: A few days of mild redness
- Laser therapy: About 5–14 days for full healing
- Surgical procedures: Usually heal in under a week
We always give detailed aftercare instructions to make your recovery smooth and safe.
The first step is easy—just visit us for a consultation. We’ll assess your skin, explain your options clearly, and design a gentle, step-by-step plan to help reduce or remove your scars.
With the right care, patience, and consistency, your skin can look and feel much better—and so can your confidence.
