  • Multiple treatment options – A range of medical, laser and skin-remodelling approaches for different scar types.
  • Individualised treatment planning – Recommendations based on scar morphology, skin characteristics and clinical suitability.
  • Combination treatment approach – Selected treatments may be combined to address skin texture, depressed scars and uneven contours.

Acne scars develop when inflammation associated with acne affects the skin’s deeper structures during healing. The resulting changes can include depressions, raised areas, uneven texture and persistent discolouration.

Different scar types respond differently to treatment. For this reason, effective acne scar management begins with identifying the type of scarring present rather than selecting a treatment based on skin texture alone.

At Medaesthetics, Dr Jadoon has been treating acne scars since 2008 using advanced treatment options. We assess each patient’s concerns and consider the available treatments according to their clinical needs, skin type, medical history and recovery time limitations.

Mode Of Action

Acne scar management targets the structural changes beneath and within the skin that cause depressions and uneven texture.
Treatment Options for Acne Scars at Medaesthetics:


Fractional CO₂ Laser Resurfacing

Fractional CO₂ laser treatment creates controlled microscopic zones of injury within the skin. The healing response stimulates collagen remodelling and may improve the appearance of selected depressed scars, uneven texture and scar edges.

The treatment settings and coverage are determined by the clinical assessment, skin type and anticipated recovery period.

Subcision

Subcision is a minor procedure that releases fibrous bands beneath selected depressed scars. These bands can tether the skin downwards, contributing to an uneven surface.

By releasing the attachments, the procedure may allow the depressed area to lift. It is particularly considered for suitable rolling scars and may be combined with other treatments where clinically appropriate.

Micro Fat Grafting

Micro fat grafting involves harvesting a small amount of the patient’s own fat, processing it and placing it into selected areas of tissue deficiency.

It may be considered when acne scarring is associated with localised volume loss or contour irregularities. Suitability depends on the distribution of the scars, available donor tissue and individual clinical factors.

TCA CROSS (50%, 80%, 100%)

TCA CROSS is a focal chemical reconstruction technique in which a clinician applies a chemical solution to selected scars, commonly narrow ice-pick scars.

The controlled response encourages collagen remodelling within the treated area. Several sessions may be needed, and treatment requires careful selection because irritation and changes in pigmentation can occur.

Minor Scar Excision

Selected deep, well-defined scars may be assessed for minor surgical revision. This involves removing the scar tissue and closing the area, where appropriate.

Scar excision creates a new surgical wound and may leave a linear scar. It is considered only when the expected benefits, limitations and risks are appropriate for the individual.

Combination Treatment Planning 

Acne scars frequently have more than one underlying feature. For example, a patient may have tethered rolling scars alongside narrow ice-pick scars and broader areas of uneven texture.

In these circumstances, a combination approach may be considered. Depending on the clinical findings, this could involve subcision, TCA-Cross, fractional CO₂ laser resurfacing and micro fat grafting.

Treatments may be performed in stages rather than all at once. The sequence and interval between sessions depend on healing, skin response and the specific procedures selected. We discuss the rationale, expected limitations, alternatives, potential risks and likely recovery requirements before proceeding.

Treatment Summary

We generally recommend an initial course of 3–5 treatment sessions over 6–12 months, depending on your individual treatment plan.

The number and spacing of sessions depend on the type and severity of scarring, the treatment method selected and your individual response.

Each procedure takes approximately 15-45 minutes. The exact time depends on the extent of scarring and treatment being performed.

Sensation varies between patients — a strong topical numbing cream is applied before treatment. Patients having suncision done also require a local anaesthetic injection. Pain management is discussed at your consultation.

Allow approximately 7–14 days for localised redness and scabbing following certain acne scar treatments. Recovery varies depending on the procedures performed, their intensity and your individual healing response.

TCA Cross, subcision and fractional laser resurfacing have different recovery requirements. In selected cases, these treatments may be combined in a single session, which can influence the overall healing period. Your clinician will explain the expected downtime and aftercare requirements before treatment.

Most patients are able to see visible results in as little as a single treatment session. Improvement develops progressively as the skin heals and collagen remodels.

Improvements in scar contour and texture is usually long-lasting, although the skin continues to age and results vary between individuals. Ongoing acne activity and other skin changes may affect the overall appearance

Most light activities can be resumed immediately, depending on the treatment performed. Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sweating and swimming for the first 24–48 hours, or as advised by your clinician. Protect the treated area from direct sunlight throughout healing and follow your recommended sun-protection and aftercare instructions.

Keep the treated area clean and follow your clinician’s wound-care instructions. Apply the recommended post-treatment cream during the healing stage as directed. Do not pick, scratch or peel scabs, as this may delay healing and increase the risk of infection, pigmentation changes and scarring.

Avoid strenuous exercise, swimming and excessive heat for the advised period. Protect healing skin from direct sunlight. Avoid exfoliants and irritating skincare products until the skin has healed. Contact the clinic if you experience worsening pain, increasing redness or other unexpected symptoms.

Acne Scar Removal FAQs

As mentioned above, we routinely use treatments such as Subcision, TCA-Cross, Fractional CO2 Laser, excision, sterioid injections (raised scars) and combination treatment therapy.

At Medaesthetics, we assess different types of acne scarring to determine which treatment options may be appropriate.

  • Ice Pick Scars – Narrow, deep scars that extend into the skin.
  • Boxcar Scars – Depressed scars with more defined edges and a broad base.
  • Rolling Scars – Shallow, uneven depressions often caused by fibrous bands beneath the skin.
  • Raised (Hypertrophic Scars) –

    Raised scars caused by excess scar tissue, which remain within the boundaries of the original acne lesion.

  • Mixed Acne Scarring – A combination of scar types that may require different treatment approaches.

The extent to which acne scars can be corrected depends on their type, depth and severity. Mild to moderate scarring may improve to the point where scars are no longer visibly noticeable. Deeper or more extensive scars are generally more difficult to correct completely, although treatment may significantly improve their appearance.

Some visible improvement may occur within 4–5 weeks after the first treatment, with further changes developing over the following months as collagen remodelling continues.

We generally recommend an initial course of 3–5 treatment sessions over 6–12 months, depending on the type and severity of scarring and the treatment approach selected. The number of sessions required varies between individuals, and deeper or more extensive scars may require additional treatments.

Pricing starts from $600 per session for TCA-Cross and $800 per session for Fractional CO2 laser treatments.

The exact cost of your acne scars treatment will depend on the type and severity of scarring, the treatment methods required and the number of sessions recommended. On average, a person requiring a combination treatment therapy may spend $1200 to $1800 per session for moderate to severe scars on cheeks and temples/ forehead area. 

At Medaesthetics, we provide an indicative cost guide during your consultation, based on your individual skin concerns and treatment needs. If a combination of treatments is recommended, we will explain the anticipated costs and treatment schedule before proceeding, so you can make an informed decision without pressure.

Your treatment plan is tailored to your needs, and you can discuss the available options and costs with your clinician before deciding how to proceed.
