Different Scars Need Different Solutions
At Scar Healing Institute, we assess your scar type, depth, and texture to create a personalized plan that targets the scar beneath the surface. Most acne scars are atrophic, meaning the skin lost collagen and now sits below the skin around it. Raised hypertrophic or keloid scars are treated differently. We treat the following types of acne scars:
These scars look like tiny, deep punctures in the skin. Because they can reach deeper layers, they often require focused treatments, such as CROSS, subcision, or punch excision,to stimulate new collagen and help the skin rebuild from within.
Boxcar scars tend to look like round or oval dents with more defined borders. When acne causes tissue loss beneath the skin, treatments like subcision, dermabrasion, or laser resurfacing may help soften the edges and improve overall texture.
Rolling scars create an uneven, shadowed appearance across the skin. They often form when tight bands beneath the surface pull the skin down, so subcision may be used to release that tension and support a smoother look. Subcision can be used for all scar types, but it tends to work best for rolling scars.

Your skin continues healing after your in-office care. Because aftercare varies by treatment, we’ll give you specific instructions on how to protect the treated area, support recovery, and maintain your results.
Depending on your treatment, you may be advised to:
- Keep the treated area completely dry for a period of time.
- Cleanse gently and use approved, fragrance-free products.
- Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen once your provider says it is safe.
- Avoid makeup, exfoliants, and harsh skincare products until cleared.
- Follow any additional instructions, including massage or suctioning if recommended.
- Attend follow-up visits so we can monitor your progress.

Acne Scar Treatment With Your Skin Tone in Mind
Different skin tones can respond differently to scar procedures, especially when pigmentation is a concern. At Scar Healing Institute, your care plan is built around your skin type, scar pattern, and treatment history. Phenol peels, for example, can carry a higher risk of lighter patches in pigmented skin, and our SHI CROSS formula is designed to help lower that risk.
We take a thoughtful approach to improving scar texture while helping reduce the risk of discoloration, irritation, or unnecessary trauma to the skin. This can include steps to lower the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is darkening that can follow skin irritation, and lingering redness.
