Scar & skin assessment Individual treatment planning Recovery & follow-up guidance
Start with understanding
Scars and marks
need different care.
Acne can leave changes in both texture and colour. Depressed scars sit below the skin’s surface; raised scars sit above it. Flat post-acne marks are usually pigmentation changes rather than true scars.
Knowing which changes you have helps focus the conversation on an appropriate approach.
Recognising the pattern
Different scars.
Different starting points.
More than one scar pattern can occur on the same face.
Boxcar scars
Round or oval depressions, broader than ice-pick scars.
Rolling scars
Wider, shallower depressions that can give the surface a wavy appearance.
Raised scars, including hypertrophic scars and keloids, need a different assessment. Flat red or brown marks may coexist with textural scarring.
Treatment possibilities
A tailored approach
to uneven texture.
Your dermatologist may discuss one or more approaches. The choice depends on scar depth, skin tone and your priorities. Ask which options are suitable and available for you.
The aim is to make scars less noticeable, with realistic expectations about the degree of change.
Your consultation is the place to compare benefits, limitations, risks, recovery time and cost before choosing a procedure.
Your consultation
From concerns
to a clear plan.
Share your priorities
Tell us which changes bother you most, what you have tried and how much recovery time fits your routine.
Discuss the details
Bring your skincare and medicine list, including current or recent acne treatment. Ask for a clear explanation of the proposed approach.
Agree on the next step
Discuss sessions, aftercare and review appointments. Leave with a plan you understand and space to ask questions.
Aftercare matters
Give your skin
time and gentle care.
- Follow your own instructions. Your clinician will explain cleansing, skincare and when to restart makeup or active products.
- Protect treated skin. Use recommended sun protection; broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher and avoiding tanning help limit darkening after treatment.
- Be patient with progress. Improvement takes time. Swelling or colour changes can occur, and more than one session may be needed.
Ask what recovery is expected for your procedure and how to contact the clinic if you have concerns.

Questions, answered
A little clarity
before your visit.
A good treatment decision starts with a conversation about your own skin.
Can acne scars disappear completely?
Treatment can make scars less noticeable, but complete removal cannot be promised. The response and degree of improvement vary.
Which treatment is best for acne scars?
There is no single best choice for everyone. Different scar types may need different approaches, sometimes in combination.
Are dark marks the same as scars?
Usually not. Flat post-acne colour changes differ from depressed or raised scars and may need a different care plan.
How many sessions will I need?
Often more than one. Ask for an individual estimate after assessment and a plan for reviewing progress.
Is there any downtime?
Recovery depends on the procedure. Discuss expected sensitivity, swelling or colour changes, and when work, makeup and usual skincare can resume.
What will my treatment cost?
Request a quotation after consultation, including the proposed sessions, aftercare and follow-up for your individual plan.
