Acne Scar Treatment: Which Treatment Works for Which Scar?

The acne is gone, but the scars remain? You are not alone — and the good news is that acne scars are treatable, provided the plan matches the scar type.

Ice-pick scars (narrow, deep) respond best to focal techniques such as TCA CROSS. Boxcar scars (sharp-edged depressions) typically improve with microneedling radiofrequency (MNRF) and subcision-based approaches. Rolling scars (soft, wave-like) respond well to collagen-induction treatments. Most patients have a mixture, which is why combination plans outperform single treatments.

Applying one treatment to every scar wastes both time and money. A scar-mapping assessment identifies which scar types you have — and gives you a realistic timeline, because collagen remodelling takes months, not days.
