With over 10+ years of experience in treating acne scars and successfully addressing 8,000 cases in Singapore, Aesthetic Studio Clinic has developed a tested-and-proven treatment acne scar treatment strategy that delivers noticeable improvements. Our approach is highly customisable to cater to each individual’s unique skin type and acne scar condition, and encompasses comprehensive treatments for all types of acne scars.

LASER RESURFACING
Picosecond & CO2 LASER

By utilising light and heat energy, lasers effectively break down acne scar tissues to pave the way for collagen remodeling over the course of several months to a year.

Each laser session’s downtime varies depending on the specific lasers and intensities used, ensuring a personalised experience.

With lasers, the journey to acne scar improvement continues even after your final laser session. Watch as your skin gradually improve over time!

TCA Cross & AGNES Radio-frequency

Certain acne scars (e.g. Narrow, ice-pick scars) may require more precise, targeted treatments than typical laser treatments.

The use of medical-grade chemical peels or radio-frequency (RF) energy allows more effective stimulation with the depth of scars that occur in deeper skin layers.

Often, this can be combined with lasers to assist in collagen remodeling to provide optimal results for a smoother complexion.

RF Subcision, COLLAGEN BIOSTIMULANTS & FILLERS

Manual release of acne scars using a needle may be required for deeper scars caused by severe acne that are firmly stuck in the deeper skin layers.

Collagen biostimulants (e.g. Sculptra, Radiesse, and Gouri) can also play a vital role in treating acne scars. They are injected beneath the skin’s layers to promote the skin’s natural healing process.

Fillers are also placed beneath the skin to serve a dual purpose of preventing the re-formation of acne scars while stimulating collagen growth.

This provides a permanent improvement in severe acne scars.

ACNE SCARS CALL FOR A PERSONALISED APPROACH, NOT a ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL SOLUTION

Acne scars are diverse, and as such, every individual’s condition may be different. While single treatments can be effective for mild to moderate acne scarring, severe conditions may require a combination of targeted acne scar treatments to effectively address acne scars at their root, for long-lasting and permanent improvemenets.

Determining the most suitable approach is best left in the hands of an experienced aesthetic doctor.

Holistic APPROACH FOR ACNE SCARS

Given the stubborn nature of acne scars, our diverse approach involves different treatments to target the underlying layers of your skin. Relying solely on a single treatment, such as Laser Resurfacing, is often inadequate for most acne scar patients.

Frequently Asked Questions about Acne Scars

WHAT’S THE BEST TREATMENT FOR ACNE SCARS?

There is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to acne scar treatments. The best treatment varies, depending on individual skin condition, and the specific characteristics of your acne scars. These treatments may include but are not limited to:

can all kinds of acne scars be treated?

Absolutely! We cater to all types of acne scars, ranging from common ice pick scars, rolling scars, box scars, to hypertrophic scars. Our acne scar treatments are suitable for both men and women of diverse ages, skin type, skin tone and skin colour.

WILL THE ACNE SCAR TREATMENTS CAUSE ANY pain or discomfort?

The pain levels experienced by individuals may vary, but the majority of acne scar patients who have undergone our treatments have reported them to be comfortable and tolerable. In fact, some patients have mentioned that they don't feel anything at all during the procedures!

If needed, numbing cream can also be applied prior to the recommended acne scar treatment to minimise any potential pain or discomfort you may experience.

Is there any downtime ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACNE SCAR TREATMENTS?

Depending on the acne scar treatment performed, the expected downtime will vary accordingly. Given the non-invasive to minimally-invasive nature of our acne scar treatments, downtime is usually minimal and most patients can resume their daily activities thereafter. The versatility of our treatments can also be tailored to minimise downtime where necessary.

CAN YOU PERMANENTLY REMOVE ACNE SCARS FOR GOOD?

Acne scarring is a chronic, long-term condition that typically does not resolve on its own. However, achieving a permanent solution for acne scars is indeed possible. By combining targeted skin treatments, we not only address the acne scars themselves but also focus on restructuring the collagen within our skin to stimulate new collagen production.

How many acne scar treatments do I need TO SEE RESULTS?

The number of acne scar treatments required depends on the severity of your acne scars. Individuals with mild acne scarring can expect permanent results in 3-5 sessions (spaced 4-6 weeks apart to allow for the skin to heal). For severe conditions, it may take up to 5-8 sessions (spaced 4-6 weeks apart to allow for the skin to heal).

It might seem like a long time, but you can typically expect visible and gradual improvements with each acne scar treatment.

This comprehensive approach will significantly improve the skin’s texture, leading to permanent improvements in our skin’s quality and appearance.

How long WILL ACNE SCAR TREATMENTS TAKE?

Depending on the acne scar treatments you undergo, treatment time may vary. Each session can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
