Treating Acne Scars

Acne scars can persist long after breakouts are gone — affecting not only skin texture, but also confidence. Scars may appear as shallow marks, deep pits, or tethered depressions in the skin. Because no two scars are alike, effective treatment requires a personalized plan. At Yamany Dermatology, Dr. Yamany uses evidence-based techniques tailored to the type of scars you have to achieve smoother, more even skin.

Understanding Acne Scars

Rolling Scars

Wide, shallow depressions that create uneven texture.

Boxcar Scars

Sharper-edged depressions that may be deeper.

Ice-Pick Scars

Narrow, deep scars that create pinpoint marks.

Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation

Dark spots that remain after acne clears (not true scars, but often treated alongside).

Treatment Options for Acne Scars

  • Microneedling (with or without PRFM): Stimulates collagen for smoother texture and softer scars.
  • Chemical Peels: Refresh skin and help fade post-acne pigmentation.
  • TCA Cross: A precise technique that targets deep ice-pick scars.
  • Subcision: Releases tethered scars for improved surface smoothness.

Benefits of Our Approach

What to Expect

  • Most scar treatments are in-office with numbing for comfort.
  • Redness, pinpoint crusting, or mild bruising may occur depending on the technique.
  • Results improve gradually over several weeks to months as new collagen forms.
  • A series of treatments may be recommended for best results.

Will my scars go away completely?

How do I know which treatment is right for me?

Dr. Yamany will evaluate your skin and match treatments to your scar type. Often, a combination works best.
