Resurfacing and remodelling
In plain terms
Understanding acne scar treatment
What it is
Acne scarring is permanent damage to the structure beneath the skin, which is why it does not fade the way marks do. Treating it means remodelling that structure. The first job is separating scars from marks, because the brown or red patches left by old spots are not scars and will fade on their own.
What it helps with
Rolling scars, which are broad and shallow. Boxcar scars, which have sharp defined edges. Icepick scars, which are narrow and deep. Each answers to something different, so this is almost never one treatment and almost always a planned combination.
What happens in the session
She assesses the scars in angled light, because that is the only way to read depth honestly, and photographs them so progress can be judged against something other than memory. Treatment then depends on the type and may combine microneedling, subcision, a focused peel, laser or filler.
How the result comes in
Slowly and in steps. Most people see meaningful change across a course spread over several months, with the skin continuing to improve between sessions as collagen forms. The photographs matter here, because gradual improvement is genuinely hard to see in your own mirror.
Worth knowing before you book
Realistic improvement is substantial reduction rather than erasure. Active acne is brought under control first, because treating scars while new ones form is wasted effort. Deep icepick scars are the most stubborn of the group.
