01
What it is
Acne scars can develop when deeper acne-related inflammation affects the skin’s normal healing process. Depending on how the skin repairs itself, scars may appear depressed, narrow, broad, uneven or raised.
Not every post-acne mark is a true scar. Dark or red marks may improve differently from structural scars, which is why identifying the concern correctly is an important first step.
02
What type of acne scar do you have?
Acne scars do not all respond the same way. Their shape, depth and attachment to underlying skin influence the treatment approach.
Broader depressed scars with relatively defined edges and a box-like appearance.
Broader depressed scars with relatively defined edges and a box-like appearance.
Shallow depressed scars that create a wave-like or uneven appearance across the skin.
Indented scars caused by loss of skin tissue during the healing process.
Excess scar tissue may cause certain acne scars to appear elevated rather than depressed.
Flat brown, red or darker marks after acne are pigmentation changes rather than structural scars.
Who it’s not for
Certain situations may require scar treatment to be delayed, modified or medically reviewed first.
Active or uncontrolled acne in the treatment area
Active skin infection, open wounds or significant irritation
Recent aggressive laser, peel or resurfacing treatment
Pregnancy or breastfeeding when a proposed procedure or medicine may not be suitable
Medical conditions or medications that may affect healing or increase procedural risk
03
What to expect
Scar & skin assessment
Your dermatologist examines scar type, depth, distribution, skin texture, pigmentation and whether active acne is still present.
Personalised treatment planning
A treatment strategy is selected according to the scar pattern, skin type, sensitivity and desired level of improvement.
Progressive improvement
Acne scar care often involves gradual improvement rather than a single-step result. Follow-up helps monitor progress and refine the plan where needed.

Physician note
Acne scars should not be treated as one single concern. Ice-pick, rolling and boxcar scars differ in structure, which means they may require different approaches.

Questions
Acne scars can develop when deeper inflammation damages skin tissue and alters the normal healing process.
Common types include ice-pick, boxcar and rolling scars. Some people may also develop raised scars.
No. Acne marks are usually changes in skin colour, while true acne scars involve structural changes in the skin.
Many acne scars can be improved, although results depend on scar type, depth, skin type and individual response.
There is no single best treatment for every scar. The right approach depends on the type and depth of the scarring.
Often, controlling active acne first is important to reduce the risk of developing new scars during treatment.
Treatment timelines vary according to scar severity, procedures selected, healing response and the number of sessions required.
Acne scar treatment generally aims to improve scar depth, texture and visibility. Complete removal cannot be guaranteed.
A dermatologist consultation helps determine your scar type, skin condition and the most appropriate treatment strategy.

CLINICAL SCAR CARE
Every scar tells a
different story.
Acne scars can differ considerably in depth, shape and distribution. Treating them effectively begins with understanding what type of scar is present rather than applying the same procedure to everyone.
At Averah, we assess your scar pattern, skin type and any remaining acne or pigmentation before planning care.
This allows treatment to focus on the concerns that matter most—scar visibility, uneven texture and overall skin quality—while maintaining realistic expectations.
