How to get rid of mild-moderate acne scars? (photo)

Doctor's Answer

Hi,

You have a combination of shallow rolling and box car acne scars. These can be improved and smoothened to a large extent - improvement by a few grades on the acne severity score.

I begin acne scar treatments start with diagnosis of your scar type, skin type and ability to handle down-time (recovery time).

The most suitable treatments to give you good results are:

1. Subcision with collagen stimulating fillers - To release tethered (held down) scars and to stimulate collagen production

2. Fractional Laser resurfacing (eg CO2 fractional lasers like Edge Fractional CO2 lasers)

3. TCA Cross chemical peel.

4. RF micro-needling (eg Infini - if you are looking for a very short downtime option - downtime of 1 day)

Several treatment sessions are required (4-6 sessions) and I use a combination of acne scar treatments in each session to give faster results.

Each of these treatments works synergistically to give you best results.

I suggest a face to face consult with a doctor who focuses on acne scars treatment for an accurate treatment plan.

Hope this helps!

Warmest regards,

Dr Justin Boey
