In-Depth
What You Need to Know
Acne scars are classified as atrophic (indented — ice pick, boxcar, rolling) or hypertrophic/keloid (raised). Treatment selection depends on scar type and depth: ice pick scars respond best to TCA CROSS (chemical reconstruction), punch excision, or fractional laser; boxcar scars improve with fractional CO2 laser, Morpheus8, or subcision + filler; rolling scars respond to subcision, microneedling with PRP, or Morpheus8. Combination therapy (using multiple modalities) produces the best results — typically 3-6 treatments over 6-12 months. Realistic expectations are important: most treatments produce 50-75% improvement in scar appearance, not complete elimination. Active acne must be controlled before scar treatment begins. Post-treatment sun protection is critical. Cost varies widely: microneedling ($300-$700/session), fractional laser ($1,000-$3,000/session), subcision ($200-$500/area), filler ($500-$1,500).
