Acne Scar Treatment
Improve skin texture and reduce acne scars using modern reconstructive and aesthetic techniques.
Acne scar treatment combines aesthetic and reconstructive techniques to smooth skin texture and reduce the visible depth of scarring left behind by past breakouts. The right approach depends on the type and depth of scarring present.
Candidacy & Benefits
You may be a good candidate if:
- You have textured or pitted skin from past acne
- You have tried topical products without meaningful improvement
- You want a treatment plan matched to your specific scar type
Key benefits
- Smoother, more even skin texture
- Reduced visibility of acne scarring
- A plan tailored to your scar type and skin
How Acne Scar Treatment is performed
A close skin assessment to classify your scar types — rolling, boxcar, ice-pick, or a mix
A tailored plan is built, which may combine techniques such as subcision, micro-needling, laser resurfacing, or fillers
For subcision, a fine needle releases tethered scar tissue beneath the skin to let it lift naturally
Resurfacing techniques (laser or micro-needling) stimulate new collagen to smooth the surface over time
Most plans are delivered across a series of sessions rather than a single visit
Preparation & things to know
How to prepare
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning in the weeks before treatment
- Stop retinoids or exfoliating actives for the period advised before your session
- Mention any history of keloid scarring or active skin infections
- Set realistic expectations — visible improvement builds gradually over a series of sessions
Possible side effects & risks
- Redness, mild swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation for a few days after treatment
- Temporary pinpoint bleeding or scabbing with more intensive techniques
- Possible temporary darkening of the skin (post-inflammatory pigmentation), especially in darker skin tones
- Results build gradually and may require several sessions for full effect
Every surgery carries some risk. Your consultation with Dr. Muhammad Ali will cover how these apply specifically to you.
