How can I treat and improve newly formed ice pick scars? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

I'm so sorry to hear that your acne breakout has left several scars. You are absolutely right in seeking treatment for your scars early.

Rest assured, you can treat and improve ice pick scars with these effective treatments.

These are the common acne scar/ ice pick scar treatments in Singapore:

  • TCA Cross
  • Subcision +/- Filler (hyaluronic acid/ radiesse/ Rejuran)
  • Fractional CO2 (high settings)/ Fractional Pico Laser
  • Punch excision

80-90% improvement for ice pick scars is possible after several treatment sessions.

There isn't a single best treatment for ice pick scars. I usually combine several treatments for ice-pick scars as this gives the best results.

My advice for you is to consult with a doctor who specialises in acne scar removal so that you get the most results from each treatment. Some treatments are more effective for you than others!

Before you start any treatment, it'll be good for you to find out more on acne scar treatment costs in Singapore.

Hope that this helps!

Warmest regards,

Dr Justin Boey
