Is Intracel the best treatment to get rid of acne scars at my cheek? (photos)

Doctor's Answer

Hello Jingjing

Thank you for your question. From the picture it looks like you have a mixture of acne scars (ice pick/ rolling/ boxcar) and acne marks.

There are many ways of dealing with acne scarring and Intracel is just one of them

  • Fractional ablative laser resurfacing (CO2/ Erbium)
  • Microneedling radiofrequency device (Infini/ Venus Viva/ Intracel)
  • TCA cross
  • Needle subcision
  • PDRN/ PN microinjection (Rejuran)

Some treatments will be more suitable for certain scar types (TCA cross for ice pick scars, Laser resurfacing / Microneedling RF for rolling and boxcar scars, needle subcision for tethered scars etc) and most people will need a combination of treatments to get the best result.

Treatment will have to be customised according to your skin type, lifestyle and the downtime you can afford. Speak to a doctor to get an accurate assessment of your condition first before proceeding with your treatment. All the best!

Regards,

Dr Jiwei Wu
