What are Acne Scars?

Acne scars occur due to improper healing and skin remodeling after acne-break out. Acne scars manifest in the skin surface in various forms, which damage the skin texture. It affects one’s confidence and self-esteem, making it as one of priority concerns in aesthetic and dermatology.

Acne scars are commonly seen in the face as irregular and uneven marks over the cheeks, temples and t-zone. In general, acne scars can be classified in to 2:

1. Atopic Scars: Atopic scars are form of acne scars that usually creates craters and depressions in the skin surface. These scars are commonly known as Ice-peak Scars, Box Scars and Rolling Scars.
2. Hypertrophic Scars: Hypertrophic scars are elevated and hard skin tissue that is usually seen in a form of keloid scars. These scars are result of over production of hard collagen by the body to heal the skin injury from the active acne-breakout.

What can cause Acne Scarring?

Acne scars develop when the skin’s healing process is disrupted after an active acne breakout. While genetic factors, age, and hormones can influence how the skin repairs itself, several avoidable causes can increase the risk of permanent scarring. Common contributing factors to acne scarring include:

Picking or squeezing acne lesions: Forceful extraction of blackheads, whiteheads, or inflamed acne can damage deeper layers of the skin and lead to scarring.
Excess oil production: Oily skin is more prone to recurring breakouts, which increases the likelihood of developing acne scars over time.
Poor skin hygiene: Inadequate cleansing and improper skincare can lead to bacterial infections and delayed healing, raising the risk of scarring.
Delayed or inappropriate treatment: Ignoring or mistreating acne can allow inflammation to worsen, increasing the chances of long-term marks.

Addressing these risk factors early and seeking professional acne scar treatment can significantly reduce scarring and support healthier skin regeneration.

Acne Scar Treatments in Dubai

At SKIN111, an extensive range of advanced acne scar solutions is offered to address unique skin needs. Our highly experienced and specialized doctors develop personalized treatment plans by combining the latest technologies for effective and lasting results. Our clinic offers a comprehensive selection of advanced therapies designed for effective acne scar treatment in Dubai. These treatments include:

1) Radiofrequency with Micro Needling

Morpheus8: Morpheus8 is a fractional radiofrequency microneedling device that delivers radiofrequency energy through tiny needles into the deeper layers of the skin. This stimulates collagen production and remodels the skin, resulting in improved texture, firmness, and reduction in the appearance of acne scars. Morpheus8 is particularly effective for treating atrophic scars and can also help with skin tightening.
Secret Duo with RF: The Secret RF system combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to target acne scars. Similar to Morpheus8, it stimulates collagen production and tissue remodeling, resulting in smoother, more even skin texture. The addition of radiofrequency energy enhances the effectiveness of the microneedling treatment, leading to more significant improvements in acne scars.

2) Fractional Laser

Pico Laser: Pico laser treatment uses short pulses of laser energy to target pigment and stimulate collagen production in the skin. It can help improve the appearance of acne scars by reducing hyperpigmentation, evening out skin tone, and promoting collagen remodeling. Pico laser is effective for treating both acne scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Erbium Glass Laser: Erbium glass fractional laser treatment targets deep layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. It can effectively reduce the appearance of acne scars by resurfacing the skin and promoting new collagen formation. Erbium glass lasers are particularly suitable for treating mild to moderate acne scars and can also help with skin rejuvenation.
Fotona Laser for Acne Scars: Fotona’s Er:YAG fractional laser is a powerful solution for reducing acne scars safely and effectively. Using precision-controlled, non-invasive fractional resurfacing, this advanced laser gently ablates damaged skin layers while stimulating deep collagen remodeling. Unlike traditional treatments like chemical peels or dermabrasion, Fotona’s fractional Er:YAG technology offers customizable depth and minimal thermal damage, making it ideal for treating various types of acne scars—such as atrophic, boxcar, or rolling scars.
HALO Hybrid Fractional Laser: It combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to treat both the surface and deeper layers of the skin. It’s highly effective for improving acne scars by smoothing skin texture, reducing scar depth, and stimulating collagen. HALO delivers noticeable results with less downtime compared to traditional aggressive lasers, making it a great option for patients seeking effective scar revision with faster recovery.

3) PRP with Subcision for Acne Scars: PRP with subcision is a proven method for treating deep acne scars, especially rolling or boxcar scars. The subcision technique releases the bands beneath the skin that cause indentations, helping to lift the scarred areas. Right after that, PRP is injected to support healing, reduce swelling, and boost collagen. This combination gives better results than doing either treatment alone and helps improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin with minimal downtime.

4) Microneedling with Derma Pen + Exosomes (ASCE, Liposomal, Meta Cell) A powerful skin regeneration treatment combining medical-grade exosomes with microneedling to visibly improve acne scars. Exosomes enhance healing, boost collagen production, and repair damaged skin at the cellular level. When paired with microneedling, the penetration of active ingredients is optimized, resulting in smoother, firmer, and clearer skin.

Each of these treatments offers unique benefits and may be more or less suitable depending on the type and severity of your acne scars, as well as your skin type and individual needs. It's essential to consult with a qualified dermatologist or skincare professional to determine the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to your specific concerns and goals.
