Acne scar management
Acne scars can be improved with a planned combination of treatments, chosen for the type of scarring and your skin.
How acne scar management works
Rolling, boxcar and ice pick scars respond differently. Many plans combine energy-based treatments, resurfacing, and sometimes filler or minor procedures.
Improvement builds over a series of sessions, and the aim is meaningful improvement rather than perfect skin.

Consultation, treatment and follow-up
Consultation
A physician assesses your skin and goals and confirms this treatment is the right fit, including for your Fitzpatrick skin type.
Treatment day
Preparation, comfort measures and the treatment itself are explained in advance. You receive written aftercare instructions.
Review
Results are reviewed at an interval suited to the treatment, and the plan is refined from there.
Cost depends on the area and the number of sessions, so it is quoted at consultation once a plan exists. [PRICE: confirm whether to publish a starting price] Results vary between individuals.
