Acne Scar Treatment: Symptoms, Causes & Treatment
Acne is like an uninvited guest. Everyone has to face this. However, over time, they eventually fade. Got a smile on your face? But the real challenge starts afterwards. The scars they leave behind can linger far longer than we would like.
Whether it is a small pit, a shadowy dark mark, or an uneven patch, these acne scars never allow you to move on from the bad days of acne. They keep reminding you. However, we have something good to share with you.
Now, you don’t need to live with these scars forever. At ISAAC Luxe, our specialised acne scar removal treatments are designed not just to heal your scars from within but to give you back that fresh-faced confidence.

What Are Acne Scars?
So, when your acne heals, your skin’s natural system starts working on repairing itself. However, sometimes, this process leaves behind extra pigment (dark spots) on uneven texture (pits, bumps).
These changes in the skin’s surface or tone, caused by inflammation, are referred to as acne scars. But that doesn’t mean you have to bear them forever. Think of your skin as a beautiful fabric: once it is damaged, it can mend, but you might need a little expert help to restore that flawless finish.
How to Recognise These Acne Scars?
First of all, understand that not all scars are the same. They can be in different forms. The following are some common symptoms of acne scars you should keep watching for:
- Ice-pick scars: Small, deep holes
- Rolling scars: Shallow depressions with soft edges
- Boxcar scars: Box-like indentations
- Keloid or hypertrophic scars: Raised, firm areas
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: Flat, dark patches that remain long after the acne has gone.
Why Do Acne Scars Happen?
So, as discussed above, acne scars happen as a result of the body’s natural healing process, which causes inflammation that damages collagen. Collagen is a natural protein that keeps your skin plump and smooth.
Here are some factors that put you at more risk of developing these acne scars:
- 1. Severe, inflamed acne (like nodules or cysts)
- 2. Delaying treatment for active acne
- 3. Squeezing or picking pimples
- 4. Genetic factor
- 5. Darker skin tone
Types of Acne Scars
Knowing your scar type is the first step to choosing the right acne treatment.
- Atrophic Scars: Depressed scars (ice-pick, rolling, boxcar) caused by collagen loss.
- Hypertrophic/Keloid Scars: Raised scars caused by excess collagen.
- Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark spots after acne heals.
Common Acne Scar Removal Treatments
At ISAAC Luxe, there’s no cookie-cutter approach.
We know every skin type, scar type, and skin goal is different. So, how can treatment be the same? That’s why we curate a personalised treatment plan as per your unique needs.
-
Laser Skin Resurfacing
This treatment uses fractional CO2 or erbium lasers to gently remove damaged skin layers and stimulate collagen renewal. It is good for texture issues and pitted scars. -
Microneedling with Radiofrequency (RF)
As the name suggests, this is a double-action treatment. On the one hand, microneedling creates microchannels to boost healing. Radiofrequency, on the other hand, tightens and firms skin from within. -
Chemical Peels
This is another dermatologist-approved acne treatment. These chemical peels remove dead skin, improve discoloration, and smooth unevenness. -
Dermal Fillers
Fillers have been around for years, and yet they are so effective. These dermal fillers can instantly lift sunken scars and make skin look smoother within no time. -
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy
This is another latest acne scar treatment that uses your own growth factors to supercharge your skin repair. It is like giving your skin a natural “reset” button. -
Subcision
This acne scar removal treatment uses a tiny needle to release fibrous bands to heal the skin.
