Acne scars can be frustrating and difficult to treat, but with the right approach, achieving smoother, clearer skin is possible. At Esthetique by Dr. S., we specialise in non-surgical, evidence-based treatments to reduce acne scarring and restore skin confidence.
Understanding Acne Scars
Acne scars form when the skin’s healing process is disrupted, leading to collagen loss or excess collagen production. The most common types include:
- Atrophic scars (depressed scars)
- Ice Pick Scars: Small, deep, and narrow indentations
- Boxcar Scars: Wider, shallow to deep scars with defined edges
- Rolling Scars: Wavy, uneven skin texture
- Hypertrophic scars (raised scars)
- Firm, thickened scars caused by excess collagen
The best treatment depends on the scar type, skin condition, and individual goals.
Effective Acne Scar Treatments at Esthetique by Dr. S.
We offer advanced skin-rejuvenating procedures that stimulate collagen, improve skin texture, and fade scars naturally.
1. Microneedling – The Gold Standard for Acne Scars
Microneedling uses fine needles to create tiny micro-injuries in the skin, triggering natural collagen and elastin production. This helps to smooth depressed scars, even out skin texture, and enhance overall radiance.
✔ Boosts skin regeneration
✔ Reduces acne scars and fine lines
✔ Enhances skin elasticity
2. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) – Supercharge Healing
For faster healing and deeper skin repair, PRP (also called the “Vampire Facial”) can be combined with microneedling. PRP uses your own growth factors to stimulate tissue regeneration and accelerate scar remodelling.
✔ Enhances microneedling results
✔ Speeds up skin renewal
✔ Minimises inflammation and redness
Brand Used: PRP Pure
3. Polynucleotides – Cellular Repair for Scarring
Polynucleotides are a powerful skin biostimulator that boosts collagen, improves hydration, and repairs damaged tissue at a cellular level. When combined with microneedling, they help plump atrophic scars and restore smoother skin.
✔ Promotes deep tissue healing
✔ Improves skin texture and hydration
✔ Reduces inflammation and redness
Brand Used: Plinest Polynucleotides, Plenhyage, Vitaran, Nucleofil – Promoitalia , Ameela, PuriHilo
4. Chemical Peels – Resurface & Brighten
Chemical peels work by exfoliating the top layer of the skin, reducing superficial acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. They can be used alongside microneedling for enhanced skin renewal.
✔ Evens out skin tone
✔ Reduces hyperpigmentation
✔ Boosts collagen production
Brand Used: Clinicare Medical Grade Chemical Peels, BioRepeel
5. Skin Boosters – Hydration & Repair
For skin that looks plump, dewy, and rejuvenated, Seventy Hyal 2000 and Profhilo are injectable skin boosters that hydrate deeply and improve overall skin quality, making scars less noticeable.
✔ Restores skin hydration
✔ Smooths out textural irregularities
✔ Boosts natural collagen production
