The guide

Acne scars: what to know before you book

Know your scar type

  • Rolling scars: wavy, shadowed areas. Respond to subcision, filler, microneedling and RF.
  • Boxcar scars: sharp edged depressions. Respond to lasers, microneedling and TCA CROSS.
  • Ice pick scars: narrow, deep holes. Respond best to TCA CROSS or punch techniques.
  • Dark marks: not true scars. Respond to peels, lasers and time.

Treatments that work

  • Microneedling with or without PRP or exosomes
  • RF microneedling such as Morpheus8
  • Fractional lasers such as CO2 and Fraxel
  • Subcision to release tethered scars
  • Fillers and Sculptra to lift depressed areas
  • Chemical peels and TCA CROSS

Set realistic goals

Most people get the best result from a combination over several months, often a 50 to 80 percent improvement rather than perfect skin. Treat active acne first so new scars do not form.
