Acne scars can affect both skin texture and confidence. At Yamany Dermatology, Dr. Yamany uses a tailored, evidence-based approach to treat acne scars. Depending on scar type and severity, treatment may include microneedling, chemical peels, TCA Cross, or subcision. In many cases, a combination of treatments provides the most effective and lasting results.
Each technique is chosen based on the type of scar — from rolling to ice-pick to boxcar scars.
Often multiple methods are combined for the best outcome.
Treatments encourage your body to remodel scar tissue naturally.
Office-based procedures with manageable downtime.
Every treatment is performed or overseen by Dr. Yamany for precision and safety.
Microneedling (with or without PRFM): Stimulates collagen, smooths uneven texture, and softens scars.
Chemical Peels: Improves overall tone and helps fade post-acne marks while refreshing skin.
TCA Cross: A precise technique that uses high-strength acid to remodel deep ice-pick scars.
Subcision: Releases tethered scars under the skin, allowing smoother texture and improved appearance.
Most procedures are performed in-office with topical numbing.
Downtime varies: microneedling/peels may cause redness for a few days, TCA Cross causes pinpoint crusting, subcision may cause mild bruising.
Results develop gradually as new collagen forms, with multiple sessions often recommended.
It depends on your scar type. Rolling scars may respond best to subcision, ice-pick scars to TCA Cross, and overall texture to microneedling or peels. Dr. Yamany will design a plan tailored to your skin.
Most patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced over several months. Results build over time as collagen remodels.
Downtime ranges from minimal redness after peels and microneedling, to about 5–7 days of pinpoint crusting with TCA Cross, or mild bruising/swelling after subcision.
While no treatment can erase scars completely, most patients see significant and lasting improvement in skin texture and confidence.
