Acne Scar Treatment

What Is Acne Scar Treatment?

Acne scar treatment at Aesthetic Lounge in DHA Lahore is a comprehensive, doctor-led scar revision programme — not a single machine applied to every face. Acne leaves different kinds of scars: deep narrow ice-pick scars, sharp-edged boxcar scars, and soft wave-like rolling scars, often mixed together on the same cheek. Each type responds to a different tool, which is why our dermatologist combines RF microneedling, TCA Cross for ice-pick scars, subcision for tethered scars, and chemical peels for surface texture into one coordinated plan.

This matters because the most common reason acne scar treatment disappoints is mismatched treatment — sessions of one modality applied to scars that needed another. At our clinic, your skin is mapped first: scar types are identified, depth is assessed, and any post-acne pigmentation is separated from true textural scarring, since the two are treated very differently. Clients across Lahore come to us after months of facials that never touched their scars; the difference here is a clinical protocol built around your specific scar pattern.

How Acne Scar Treatment Works at Aesthetic Lounge

Treatment begins with a detailed skin assessment and scar mapping at our DHA Lahore clinic. Your programme is then built session by session: RF microneedling creates controlled micro-channels with heat to trigger collagen remodelling through the depth of the scars; subcision releases scars tethered down by fibrous bands so the surface can lift; TCA Cross places a precise drop of high-strength acid into individual ice-pick scars to stimulate them to fill from below; and peels refine the overall surface between deeper sessions. Numbing cream keeps sessions comfortable, and each visit typically takes 45 to 60 minutes. Collagen rebuilds slowly, so improvement appears progressively over the weeks between sessions.

Benefits of Acne Scar Treatment

• Targets ice-pick, boxcar, and rolling scars with the right tool for each
• Combines RF microneedling, subcision, TCA Cross, and peels in one plan
• Rebuilds collagen within the scars for genuine textural improvement
• Safe approach for South-Asian skin tones with pigmentation risk managed
• Also addresses post-acne marks and uneven tone alongside texture
• Doctor-led mapping and review at every stage of the course

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Good candidates are adults whose acne is now under control but whose scars remain — pitted texture, shadowed cheeks, or skin that looks uneven in side lighting. Active, inflamed acne is treated first, because treating scars over active breakouts undermines both. The programme may be adjusted or delayed during pregnancy, with recent isotretinoin use, or over active infection. Deeper skin tones are treated with protocols chosen to minimise pigmentation risk. Suitability and the right combination of modalities are decided at your consultation with our dermatologist in DHA Lahore.

Sessions & Results Timeline

Most scar revision courses run 4 to 6 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, with different modalities used at different visits according to your plan. Texture and glow often improve early, while deeper scars fill gradually as collagen rebuilds — improvement typically continues for up to three months after the final session. Acne scars can be softened significantly, but honest framing matters: the goal is major visible improvement, not surgical erasure, and individual results vary.
