Acne Scar Treatment & Removal in Singapore

Acne scar removal aims to significantly improve the appearance of scarring rather than aim for complete erasure. Pimple scars — the marks or depressions left after breakouts — are treated the same way as acne scars. Depending on scar depth and type, treatments like CO₂ laser, subcision, or RF microneedling can substantially reduce visible scarring over a series of sessions.

DrPlus Aesthetic Clinic offers doctor-led scar treatment at three Singapore locations — SBF Center in Tanjong Pagar, The Flow Mall on East Coast Road, and Novena Medical Centre. Your doctor assesses your scar type before recommending a treatment plan. We welcome patients from across Singapore.

Flat brown or red marks are pigment, not scars — they fade with peels, pico laser and sun protection, usually faster than true scars respond. A doctor first confirms whether you have marks, scars, or (most commonly) both, because the treatments differ.

Yes — chicken pox scars are usually boxcar-type depressions and are assessed and treated with the same resurfacing and remodelling tools as acne scars. Your doctor confirms the scar pattern at assessment before recommending a plan.

It depends on your scar type, depth, skin tone, and whether you still have active acne. Some scars respond better to resurfacing, while tethered scars may need subcision or combination treatment.

Most acne scar treatments aim to improve and soften scars, not promise complete removal. Results vary depending on scar depth, skin type, treatment choice, and healing response.

CO₂ laser can help improve surface texture and certain atrophic scars, but it may not be suitable for every scar type or skin tone. A doctor’s assessment is needed.

They treat different problems. Subcision helps release tethered rolling scars, while laser improves surface texture. Some patients may benefit from both.

If you still have frequent inflamed acne, your doctor may recommend controlling active acne before starting scar-focused procedures.

Many patients need a series of treatments because collagen remodelling and scar improvement happen gradually.

Yes. Mixed acne scars often benefit from a combination plan such as subcision with laser or RF microneedling, depending on suitability.

Some treatments need extra caution in pigmentation-prone skin. Your doctor will assess your skin tone and recommend suitable settings or alternatives.

Yes. Acne scarring on the back, shoulders and chest is assessed the same way as facial scarring, though body skin heals differently and often needs adjusted settings, different modalities or more conservative pacing. Your doctor examines the affected areas at consultation and explains what improvement is realistic for body scars.

The treatments are the same, and a large share of acne scar patients are men. Thicker, oilier skin and daily shaving are factored into the plan and aftercare — for example timing sessions around shaving and sun exposure. No special preparation is needed beyond the standard doctor assessment.

Costs in Singapore vary widely because acne scar treatment is a plan, not a single procedure — the price depends on your scar types, which modalities are combined (subcision, CO₂ laser, RF microneedling, peels), and how many sessions your skin realistically needs. We do not publish prices; after your doctor has mapped your scars you receive a personalised, written quote with no obligation to proceed. WhatsApp us a photo of your scars and we can usually explain what your plan would involve within minutes.

Acne scar treatment is a multi-session journey, and patients tell us they choose us for the assessment quality — a doctor who maps every scar type and sequences subcision, laser and microneedling honestly, rather than selling a single machine. Sessions are typically spaced 4–8 weeks apart, and our Tanjong Pagar, East Coast and Novena clinics are easy to plan visits around. Send us photos on WhatsApp first and your doctor will tell you plainly what improvement is realistic before you plan anything.
