Struggling With Acne Scars?
Acne may be gone — but the scars remain. Many patients come to us feeling frustrated because:
- Skin looks uneven or “bumpy” (pitted scars)
- Makeup doesn’t sit smoothly
- Skincare products don’t improve texture
- Confidence drops, especially in bright lighting or close-up
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. We see many patients in Seremban & Setia Alam facing the same concern
What Causes Acne Scars?
Acne scars form when the skin does not heal properly after inflammation.
In simple terms:
- Collagen is damaged → skin becomes indented (pitted scars)
- Or excess collagen forms → raised scars
- This is why different types of scars require different treatments.
Types of Acne Scars
Understanding your scar type is important before choosing treatment:
Ice Pick Scars
Deep and narrow
Boxcar Scars
Rolling Scars

Raised scars
- A proper assessment helps determine the most suitable approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can acne scars be completely removed?
Acne scars usually cannot be removed 100%, but with the right treatment, they can be significantly reduced, making the skin look smoother and more even.
Which treatment is best for acne scars?
There is no single treatment that works for all scars. Treatment depends on:
- Type of scar (ice pick, rolling, boxcar)
- Depth of the scar
- Skin condition
Most patients benefit from a combination of treatments such as laser, subcision, and microneedling.
How many sessions are needed?
Most cases require multiple sessions. General guideline:
- Mild scars: 3–5 sessions
- Moderate to severe scars: 5–10 sessions or more
This varies based on individual skin response.
Is acne scar treatment painful?
Most treatments are tolerable.
- Numbing cream is usually applied
- You may feel mild discomfort or pressure during the procedure
Our doctor and therapist will ensure you are as comfortable as possible
Is there any downtime
Yes, depending on the treatment:
- CO2 laser: a few days of downtime
- Microneedling: mild redness for 1–3 days
- TCA CROSS: light peeling
Your doctor will explain the expected downtime before treatment.
How long does it take to see results?
- Early stage: skin may look fresher
- After several sessions: texture becomes smoother
Can skincare alone treat acne scars?
For deeper scars (pitted scars), skincare alone is usually not sufficient. Skincare can help:
- Improve overall skin condition
- Reduce pigmentation
Clinical treatments are needed to improve skin texture and structure.
Is this suitable for all skin types?
Are there any risks or side effects?
- Redness
- Mild swelling
- Peeling
Do I need a consultation first?
Yes, consultation is highly recommended. Every scar is different, so assessment is important to:
