Frequently Asked Questions
Can acne scars be completely removed?
While no medical procedure can restore skin to 100% pre-acne texture, combining subcision with collagen-inducing treatments achieves 60% to 80% clinical improvement, making indentations dramatically smoother and less noticeable in everyday lighting.
Should active acne be treated before working on acne scars?
Yes. It is clinically essential to control active bacterial breakouts and sebaceous inflammation first. This prevents new scars from developing while we rebuild collagen in existing depressions.
How is subcision performed for rolling acne scars?
Subcision uses a specialized fine needle under local anesthesia to release tight fibrous tethering bands that pull the epidermis downward into the dermis. Releasing these bands allows the skin to elevate and stimulate natural healing collagen.
How many sessions are typically required for noticeable scar improvement?
Most patients with moderate to deep scarring benefit from 4 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 5 weeks apart to allow for progressive dermal collagen synthesis and skin leveling.
What is the difference between acne marks and acne scars?
Acne marks (PIH/PIE) are flat red or brown pigment changes that occur after inflammation clears. Acne scars involve structural loss of dermal tissue (boxcar, rolling, ice-pick) requiring physical collagen remodeling rather than simple topical fading.
What downtime should I expect after an acne scar treatment session?
Mild superficial peel sessions have virtually zero downtime. Subcision and microneedling may cause mild swelling and pinkness for 24 to 72 hours, which is easily managed with soothing barrier moisturizers and sun protection.
