Acne Scar Reduction

Your Acne May Be Gone.
The Scars Can Stay.

Acne scars can change the texture and appearance of your skin long after active acne has settled.

At CFH, we first understand the type and severity of your scars before recommending a treatment approach that fits your skin.

Not every acne scar needs the same treatment.
Your doctor assesses your skin before recommending what's appropriate.

Understand The Problem

Acne Is Gone. But What About The Marks It Left Behind?

Acne can settle, but the skin may be left with changes in texture, unevenness or visible scarring. And that's where many patients get stuck.

They try creams, facials, home remedies and random treatments. But acne scars are not all the same.

Creams Facials Home Remedies Random Treatments
The scar you see matters. The treatment you choose depends on it.
Understanding Your Acne Scars Comes First

What Kind Of Acne Scars Do You Have?

Textural / Depressed Scars
Raised Scars
Post-Acne Marks
Mixed Scarring
Not every mark left after acne is a scar. A proper assessment helps determine what you're actually dealing with.
Why Do Acne Scars Happen?

Why Does Acne Leave Scars?

Acne can cause inflammation in the skin. When the skin heals, changes in collagen and tissue structure can sometimes leave visible scars. The appearance of scarring can vary depending on:

  • Type of acne
  • Severity of inflammation
  • Skin healing
  • Individual skin characteristics
  • Previous acne
  • How the skin responded during healing
The same acne history can leave different types of scars in different people. One treatment does not fit every scar.
Is Acne Scar Treatment Right For You?

The Right Treatment Starts With The Right Assessment.

Treatment May Be Considered If You're Concerned About
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Depressed or visible scars
  • Persistent post-acne marks
  • Skin irregularity after acne
  • Mixed scar patterns
Your Doctor May Need To Assess
  • Scar type
  • Severity
  • Skin characteristics
  • Active acne
  • Previous treatments
  • Your expectations

What Is Acne Scar Reduction?

What Is Acne Scar Reduction?

Acne scar reduction is not one single procedure. It is a treatment approach aimed at improving the appearance of acne-related scars using one or more appropriate procedures. Depending on the scar type and patient assessment, CFH currently lists approaches including:

Laser Therapy
Chemical Peels
Microneedling
Dermal Fillers
The goal isn't to find the most advanced treatment. It's to find the most appropriate approach for your scars.
Your Treatment Options

Different Scars. Different Approaches.

MNRF

May be considered for selected textural and acne-scar concerns.

Explore MNRF
Microneedling

Dermal Fillers

Talk to a Doctor

You don't need to choose the procedure yourself. Your doctor can help determine which approach may be appropriate for your skin.

Comparison

Which Acne Scar Treatment Is Right For You?

Approach May Be Considered For Treatment Approach
MNRF Selected textural / scar concerns Microneedling + RF
Microneedling Selected texture / scar concerns Controlled microneedling
Chemical Peels Selected acne-related skin concerns Chemical exfoliation
Laser Treatment Selected scar / texture concerns Laser-based treatment
Dermal Fillers Selected depressed scars Volume correction

There is no universal "best" acne scar treatment. The appropriate option depends on your scar type, skin characteristics, goals and clinical assessment.

Why Combination Treatment May Matter

Sometimes, One Treatment Isn't The Whole Answer.

Acne scars can have different characteristics, and a patient may have more than one type of scar. That means the treatment approach may sometimes involve:

One Treatment
or
A Combination Of Approaches
or
Treatment Over Multiple Stages

Your doctor will determine whether one approach or a combination is appropriate for your skin.

  • S.U.R.E.™ Method — Scan. Understand. Recommend. Evaluate.

Before You Choose Acne Scar Treatment

What You Should Know Before Treatment.

  • Acne scar reduction isn't instant. Improvement may take time and may require more than one treatment.
  • Not every scar responds the same way. Treatment depends on the characteristics of your scars.
  • Your skin matters. Skin type, previous treatments and current skin condition can influence the treatment plan.
  • Your expectations matter. Your doctor should explain what the selected treatment can realistically aim to improve.
  • Aftercare matters. Following the recommended care plan is part of the treatment journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Acne Scars.

Can't find what you're looking for? Book a free consultation with our doctors.

Acne scar treatment aims to improve the appearance of scars. The extent of improvement varies between individuals and depends on scar characteristics, treatment approach and individual response.

There isn't one treatment that is best for every acne scar. CFH currently offers approaches including laser therapy, chemical peels, microneedling and dermal fillers, with treatment selected according to the patient's scars, skin type and goals.

Not necessarily. Marks and textural scars can be different concerns and may require different approaches. A professional assessment can help determine what you're dealing with.

MNRF may be considered for selected acne-scar and texture concerns. Whether it is appropriate depends on the individual scar characteristics and clinical assessment.

Chemical peels may be considered for selected acne-related skin concerns. The appropriate peel and suitability depend on the patient's skin and treatment goal.

The number of treatments varies according to scar type, severity, treatment approach and individual response. The expected number of sessions is determined during consultation.

Visible improvement may develop over weeks to months, depending on the treatment and individual response.

The experience varies depending on the procedure used. Patients may experience sensations such as mild discomfort, warmth or tingling depending on the treatment.

These answers are general information and not a substitute for a doctor's assessment.
