Acne Scar Removal Treatments

Acne scar removal treatment is the most effective way to get rid of scars from spots. 

Although it may be tempting to try home remedies or over-the-counter products, these methods are often ineffective in treating acne scars. Professional treatments are the best way to minimise the appearance of scars and achieve long-lasting results.

Pulse Light Clinic offers professional acne scar removal. We specialise in a wide array of acne scar treatments so that we can effectively assist you with your specific type of acne scarring. 

Acne Scar Laser Options

If you are struggling with acne scars and want to improve the appearance of your skin, acne scar removal treatments can help. 

Here are some of the most effective acne scar removal treatments:

CO2 Fractional Laser

CO2 Fractional Laser is a more intensive laser treatment for acne scar removal. It is effective in treating all types of acne scars but may require multiple treatments for optimal results. 

CO2 Fractional Laser treatment works by delivering short pulses of high-intensity light to the affected area. The laser creates microscopic holes in the skin, which stimulates the body’s natural healing response and promotes the production of collagen.

It’s important to note that CO2 Fractional Laser may not be suitable for everyone. Consult with a qualified skin specialist to determine if this treatment is right for you. 

Icon Laser

Icon Laser is a non-invasive laser treatment that is effective in treating a variety of acne scars, including boxcar scars, rolling scars, and ice pick scars. 

The Icon Laser emits short pulses of light that are absorbed by the skin’s deeper tissue. This absorbed light energy then stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. This repairs the treated area by stimulating new tissue growth. 

The Icon Laser is a quick and relatively painless treatment with minimal downtime. It also works on any skin tone and on acne scars located anywhere on the body. 

Cool Laser

Cool Laser treatment is a highly effective and advanced medical procedure used to address acne scars. It utilizes a medically-graded ablative laser to precisely target the damaged areas of the skin, promoting skin rejuvenation and reducing the appearance of acne scars.

The Cool Laser emits a concentrated beam of laser energy, which is delivered to the skin in short bursts or pulses. This laser treatment creates micro-wounds, stimulating new collagen and elastin production in deeper skin layers. Collagen and elastin are crucial components that help to support the skin’s structure, providing a smoother and more youthful appearance.

One major benefit of Cool Laser treatment is its ability to target acne scars while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin. The treatment is safe for various skin types, including darker skin tones, as the laser parameters can be adjusted accordingly.

Following Cool Laser treatment for acne scars, some individuals may experience mild redness, swelling, or a sensation similar to sunburn in the treated areas. These effects are temporary and usually subside within a few days. It is essential to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by the dermatologist or skin care professional, such as using gentle skin care products, avoiding sun exposure, and protecting the treated skin with sun cream.

Halo Laser

The Halo laser treatment is a resurfacing procedure that effectively treats acne scars. It combines ablative and non-ablative laser technologies to improve the overall appearance of the skin.

In a Halo treatment, laser energy is delivered to specific areas of the skin using a handheld device. The procedure works by creating controlled thermal damage to the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing response and promoting the growth of new, healthier skin cells.

Halo treatment is effective for treating different types of acne scars, including atrophic scars (depressed scars) and hypertrophic scars (raised scars). It can help improve the texture, tone, and pigmentation of the skin, resulting in a smoother, more even complexion.

One of the advantages of Halo treatment is its ability to customize the treatment based on the individual’s specific needs. The depth and intensity of the laser can be adjusted to address different scar types and skin conditions. Additionally, the treatment can be tailored to target specific areas of concern or to cover larger areas of the face.

After the procedure, it is common to experience some redness, swelling, and mild discomfort, similar to a sunburn. The downtime associated with Halo treatment is typically minimal compared to other laser resurfacing procedures. The duration of recovery can differ based on the severity of the therapy and personal healing abilities.

It’s important to consult with our practitioners or a cosmetic surgeon to determine if Halo treatment is suitable for your specific acne scars. They can assess your skin condition, discuss the potential benefits and risks, and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan for you.

Morpheus8

Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive treatment that is effective for all types of acne scars and can also improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and stretch marks.

Morpheus8 uses a combination of micro-needling and radiofrequency technology. 

The microneedles penetrate the skin, creating micro-channels, while the radiofrequency energy heats the deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen production and new tissue growth. 

SylfirmX 

SylfirmX RF Micro-needling is an advanced treatment option for improving acne scars. It utilizes Selective Electro-Thermolysis technology to target scar tissue and promote skin rejuvenation. The treatment combines radiofrequency and micro-needling techniques to stimulate collagen production and enhance the overall texture and appearance of the skin affected by acne scars. Multiple sessions of SylfirmX are typically recommended for optimal results, with minimal discomfort and downtime.

SylfirmX treatment is versatile and can address various types of acne scars, including both atrophic and hypertrophic scars. The treatment selectively heats the scar tissue while preserving the surrounding healthy skin, promoting natural healing and collagen remodeling. Mild redness, swelling, or temporary discomfort may occur after the treatment.

Picosure

Picosure is a fast and effective laser treatment for removing all types of acne scars. 

The Picosure laser delivers energy in picosecond bursts (or bursts at trillionths of a second). These short pulses of energy break down scar tissue and stimulate collagen production, thus repairing the acne scars. 

This relatively painless treatment also has fewer side effects and a shorter recovery time than other laser treatments, making it a popular choice for many patients.

Picoway Laser

Picoway laser treatment is a highly effective method for improving the appearance of acne scars. It utilizes picosecond laser technology to deliver ultra-short pulses of laser energy, breaking down scar tissue and stimulating collagen production. The treatment targets both atrophic and hypertrophic scars, as well as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. For the best outcomes, it is usually necessary to have several sessions. However, these sessions should cause minimal discomfort and require little recovery time.

Picoway laser treatment offers significant improvements in skin texture and appearance by remodelling scar tissue and promoting collagen synthesis. Mild redness, swelling, or sunburn-like sensations may occur temporarily. Following the recommended post-treatment care instructions is crucial. Consulting with a qualified professional will help determine if Picoway laser treatment is suitable for your specific acne scars, allowing you to achieve smoother and refined skin while reducing the visibility of acne scars.

Dermapen

Dermapen is a method of micro-needling that can be effective in removing all types of acne scars. 

The Dermapen is moved over the affected area and will insert tiny needles into the skin, leaving tiny puncture wounds. These micro-injuries stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which help to reduce the appearance of scars. 

Acne Scar Removal

If you are struggling with acne scars and want to improve the appearance of your skin, Pulse Light Clinic acne scar removal treatments can help. 

We offer CO2 Fractional Laser, Icon Laser, Cool Laser, Halo Laser, Morpheus8, SylfirmX, Picosure, Picoway and Dermapen for our acne scar removal treatments. These treatments are effective for reducing the appearance of acne scars and can be customised to address your specific skin concerns.

Acne Scar Types

acne scar types

Acne scars form due to the body’s natural healing process after an acne breakout. When acne forms, the skin becomes inflamed, and the body produces collagen to repair the damaged tissue. In some cases, the body produces too much or too little collagen, resulting in acne scarring. 

Understanding the type of acne scar you have is essential for determining the most effective treatment to get rid of scars from spots. We have briefly outlined the four main types of acne scars: 

Boxcar Scars

Boxcar scars are round or oval-shaped indentations with steep, defined edges. They are wider than ice pick scars and can be shallow or deep. Boxcar scars are often caused by severe acne and are most commonly found on the cheeks and temples.

Rolling Scars

Rolling scars are shallow with a sloping, undefined edge. They are caused by damage to the skin’s subcutaneous tissue, which creates a rolling or wave-like appearance. Rolling scars are most commonly found on the lower cheeks and jawline.

Ice Pick Scars

Ice pick scars are deep and narrow indentations in the skin. These scars resemble small punctures, which is why they are named ‘ice pick’ scars. They are often caused by deep, inflamed acne and are most commonly found on the cheeks and temples.

Hypertrophic Scars

Hypertrophic scars are raised and thickened scars that are caused by an overproduction of collagen during the healing process. These scars can be red and firm, and may develop a rope-like or nodular appearance. They are most commonly found in areas of high tension or motion, such as on the chest, back, and shoulders.

Acne Scar Removal FAQ's

Can acne scars be removed?

With the appropriate treatment, superficial scars can be removed, and deeper scars could become less noticeable. At Pulse Light Clinic, we offer treatments such as CO2, Icon, Morpheus8 and Cool laser that provide excellent results with less downtime.

How do you get rid of acne scars permanently?

We provide many treatments to remove or reduce scarring depending on the type of scars. For example, CO2 Resurfacing Treatments, Radio Frequency Micro-needling with Morpheus8 treatment or treatments with Icon and Picosure lasers could help to remove scars and pigmentation. We suggest booking a consultation with our doctor and practitioner to asses which treatment is suitable and provide a personalised treatment plan.

Can acne scars remove naturally?

It always depends on the extent of the scars. Usually, they may slightly fade gradually over time but will never disappear. People suffering from acne scars need to take care of their skin and food, which could cause new acne breakouts; if they have acne need to treat acne first and then treat acne scars. Once our in-house doctor identifies the type of scarring, then will suggest the most appropriate treatment to help the skin look and feel smooth again.

What is the best thing to remove acne scars?

Acne scar types are the most crucial to identify to recommend the best treatment for removing them. There are the boxcar, Ice pick, Rolling and Hypertrophic scars, and each everyone has their best way to treat them. At Pulse Light Clinic, we offer free consultations with our practitioners to asses your skin needs and provide the best possible treatment to remove or reduce acne scars.

Do scars from spots go away?

Scars from spots may fade over time, but they may not completely go away on their own. With the proper acne scar removal treatment, the appearance of deep scars can be significantly reduced and surface scars can be removed.

What gets rid of spot scars quickly?

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for getting rid of acne scars quickly. The best way to get rid of scars from spots is to seek the advice of a skincare professional who can recommend the most appropriate acne removal treatment.

How do you get rid of spot scars at home?

Home remedies, such as over-the-counter creams, are unlikely to significantly improve the appearance of acne scars. It's best to seek the advice of a skincare professional who can recommend the most effective acne scar removal treatments for your specific needs.

Can you get rid of pimple scars?

Yes, it is possible to get rid of pimple scars. There are various treatments available that can help fade or remove acne scars, such as laser therapy and micro-needling. It is recommended to consult with a skincare professional to determine the best course of treatment for your individual needs.
