Types of Acne Scars We Can Treat
Icepick scars are deep, narrow indentations that form when severe acne, such as cystic acne, damages the skin’s deeper layers. These scars typically have a V-shape and appear as small, sharp puncture marks on the skin. Due to their depth, icepick scars are often more challenging to treat, requiring advanced treatments like microneedling, laser therapy, or subcision to reduce their visibility.
Boxcar scars are broad, shallow depressions with distinct, sharp edges, usually resulting from moderate to severe acne. They often have a rounded or oval shape and can vary in depth. These scars form when acne causes skin tissue loss, leaving behind a crater-like indentation. While less deep than icepick scars, their defined edges make them noticeable. Treatments such as subcision, laser resurfacing, or dermal fillers are frequently used to improve their appearance and restore smoother skin.
Post-surgical scarring is a natural part of the healing process after skin injury. However, issues like raised scars, pigment changes, and uneven texture can lead to aesthetic concerns. While most scars fade over time, more severe cases may need professional scar revision for optimal improvement.
Traumatic scars form after significant skin damage from an injury. Depending on the wound’s size and location, these scars can vary in appearance. In severe cases, traumatic scars may thicken and tighten the skin, restricting movement and potentially causing deformities.

FAQs
The most effective treatment for acne scar removal depends on the type of scarring you have and your skin’s unique characteristics. Different treatments are more suitable for certain scar types. This is why the Scar Healing Institute has created the personalized Acne Scar Phase-Out System that can be tailored to your specific needs and skin type.
The number of sessions required for acne scar removal varies depending on the severity and type of scarring, as well as the treatment method used. Generally, multiple sessions are needed to achieve optimal results, with the exact number determined during a consultation with a specialist based on your individual goals and skin response.
Recovery time after acne scar removal varies depending on the treatment used and the individual’s skin. For less invasive procedures like microneedling, downtime may be minimal, with mild redness or swelling lasting a few days. More intensive treatments, such as laser therapy or subcision, may require a longer recovery period, typically ranging from a few days to a week, during which some swelling, redness, or peeling may occur. It is important to adhere closely to aftercare instructions to speed up recovery and ensure the best results.
The cost of acne scar removal can vary widely depending on factors such as the type and severity of the scars and treatment method chosen. Since each case is unique, it’s best to book a consultation with one of our scar specialists for an individualized treatment plan and an accurate cost estimate tailored to your budget.
