Acne Scars Treatment
Acne scars can significantly impact your self-esteem, leaving behind reminders of past breakouts. Whether you suffer from deep acne scars or mild acne scars, our advanced acne scar treatment in Singapore offers a comprehensive solution to help you regain clear, smooth skin using modern laser technology.
What is Acne Scar Treatment?
Acne scar treatment involves using advanced laser technology or Chemical peels along with skin healing biostimulator injections to reduce the appearance of scars left by acne. This treatment is versatile and targets various types of acne scars, effectively improving skin texture and tone.
Which Areas Can Be Treated?
Acne scar treatments can effectively treat:
- Face: The most common area affected by acne scarring.
- Back and Shoulders: Often affected by severe acne and subsequent scarring.
- Chest: Another area prone to acne breakouts and scarring.
What Types of Acne Scars Can Be Treated?
- Ice Pick Scars: Deep and narrow scars that resemble puncture wounds.
- Rolling Scars: Broad depressions with sloping edges.
- Boxcar Scars: Broad depressions with sharply defined edges.
- Hypertrophic Scars: Raised scars that stay within the boundary of the original wound.
- Atrophic Scars: Depressed scars caused by a loss of tissue.
- Keloid Scars: Raised scars that extend beyond the original wound boundary.
What Are the Benefits?
The numerous benefits of acne scar removal treatment include:
- Improved Skin Texture: Reduces the appearance of acne scars, resulting in smoother skin while removing the bumps and valleys from your face.
- Even Skin Tone: Helps diminish post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and red acne scars.
- Boosted Confidence: Clearer skin can enhance your self-esteem.
- Precision: Targets only scar tissue without affecting the surrounding skin.
Am I a Good Candidate for Acne Scar Treatment?
You may be a suitable candidate for acne scar treatment if you have visible acne scars, including deep and narrow scars and experience post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Good general health and realistic expectations are also important for achieving optimal results from the treatment. If you have previously tried lasers or other treatments but experienced partial or no improvements, this treatment will offer better outcomes.It is important to address active acne conditions simultaneously to prevent further scarring or hyperpigmentation.
How Does Acne Scar Treatment Work?
Acne scar treatment utilises advanced laser technology to address various types of scars. The laser works by using focused light to penetrate the skin’s surface and target scar tissue. This is often combined with collagen Biostimulators or Growth factors to remodel the scar tissue and create more collagen type 3. This process stimulates collagen production and promotes the regeneration of healthy skin cells. As a result, the appearance of deeper scars is reduced from within and overall skin texture is improved. Depending on the depth and type of scars, one may require more than 1 session to achieve smoother skin. In some cases, other modalities like TCA peel are useful combinations.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any more questions about acne scar treatment in Singapore or any of our other services, please don’t hesitate to contact us today. In the meantime, you can find more FAQs below that may provide the additional information you’re looking for.
What are the available acne scar removal treatments?
At Dr Sankeerth Reddy’s clinic, we primarily use advanced laser treatments and Biostimulators for acne scar removal. This method is highly effective in reducing the appearance of severe acne scars and other types of skin scars.
Is acne scar treatment painful?
The discomfort during laser treatments is typically minimal and well-tolerated. Some patients may experience a slight tingling sensation, but our team ensures your comfort throughout the procedure. We also use Topical Anaesthetic creams or numbing cream to minimise the discomfort.
How effective are laser treatments for severe acne scars?
Laser treatments and combination treatments are highly effective in treating severe acne scars. They work by stimulating collagen production, which helps in improving the texture and appearance of skin scars.
How long does a laser acne scar treatment session take?
A typical laser acne scar treatment session can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated.
How many sessions are needed to see results?
The number of sessions required varies based on the severity of the scars, but most patients see significant improvement after 3 to 6 treatments. This amounts to a few months.
Is there any downtime after the treatment?
There is minimal downtime after laser acne scar treatment. Most patients experience slight redness and swelling, followed by dry skin which usually subsides within a few days.Use of growth factor based recovery serums or masks greatly reduces the skin healing time too. We provide bespoke skincare for further enhancing the skin recovery, reconstruction and maintenance.
Can laser treatments prevent future acne breakouts?
While laser treatments effectively reduce acne scars, they do not prevent future acne breakouts. A comprehensive skincare routine is recommended to manage acne. There are alternative laser and light based treatments to address active acne issues. Doctors may recommend oral or topical acne relief treatments based on the severity and cause of acne breakouts.
