How to Get Rid of Acne and Acne Scars: An Expert Guide
Acne is one of the most common skin concerns — and the marks it leaves behind can be just as frustrating as the breakouts themselves. The good news: with the right, medically-guided treatment, both active acne and acne scars can be dramatically improved.
Step 1: Treat the Active Acne First
Before tackling scars, the active acne must be controlled. Our dermatologist-led approach targets the root causes — excess oil, bacteria, clogged pores and hormones — with a combination of medical therapy, chemical peels and customised skincare. Treating acne early also prevents new scars from forming.
Step 2: Treat the Scars
Acne scars come in different types — boxcar, rolling and icepick — and each responds to different techniques. The most effective treatments include:
- Microneedling: stimulates collagen to smooth shallow scars.
- Fractional laser: resurfaces and remodels deeper scarring.
- Subcision: releases tethered rolling scars.
- Vampire Facial (PRP + microneedling): boosts healing and collagen.
- Chemical peels: improve texture and post-acne pigmentation.
What About Pigmentation?
Dark marks left after acne (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) usually fade with the right peels, topicals and strict sun protection — separate from textured scarring.
