— Your Concern
Different acne scars need different treatment tools
Acne scars are structural changes in the skin, not one single condition. Rolling scars may need release, sharper-edged scars may benefit from resurfacing, and mixed patterns often need a planned sequence.
A consultation maps the scar types, active acne, pigmentation risk and downtime you can manage before a treatment plan is discussed.

Acne scar treatment FAQ
That depends on scar type. Rolling scars may need subcision, while selected boxcar or textural scars may respond to resurfacing or RF microneedling. A mixed pattern may need more than one method in sequence.
No treatment can responsibly promise complete removal. The aim is gradual, meaningful improvement in suitable scars. The likely degree of change depends on scar depth, skin response and the treatment sequence.
A doctor first assesses your concern, skin type, medical history and goals. Suitable options, expected downtime and limitations are then explained before you decide whether to proceed. Results and suitability vary by individual.
