Post-Acne Scars (Ice Pick / Rolling / Boxcar)
What is the Problem?
After acne clears, many people are left with permanent marks called post-acne scars. These scars change the texture of the skin, making it look uneven. Unlike red spots or pigmentation, scars affect the deeper layers of the skin, so they don’t fade away easily.
There are three common types:
- Ice Pick Scars – deep and narrow holes, like small punctures.
- Rolling Scars – wavy depressions that make the skin look uneven.
- Boxcar Scars – wider, shallow dents with sharp edges.
These scars can lower confidence because makeup often doesn’t cover the texture, and home remedies usually don’t give real results.
What Causes the Problem?
Acne scars form when skin tissue is damaged during the healing process:
- Inflammation – Severe acne causes deep inflammation. If the skin can’t repair properly, tissue is lost, leaving a hollow scar.
- Picking or squeezing pimples – This breaks the skin barrier and worsens damage.
- Delayed or wrong acne treatment – Untreated acne keeps damaging the skin layer by layer.
- Genetics and skin type – Some people naturally scar more easily than others.
The result is uneven skin texture that doesn’t smooth out on its own.
How to Fix the Problem?
Post-acne scars can’t be fixed with normal creams or facials. They need professional treatments that repair skin from the inside out. Effective methods include:
- Microneedling (MTS Therapy)
- Uses fine needles to stimulate collagen production.
- Smooths out rolling and boxcar scars over several sessions.
- Helps skin heal and regenerate naturally.
- Uses fine needles to stimulate collagen production.
- Laser or DPL Treatments
- Targets both scars and pigmentation at the same time.
- Improves skin texture and tone.
- Works well for shallow scars.
- Targets both scars and pigmentation at the same time.
- Chemical Peels & Exfoliation
- Removes damaged outer skin layers.
- Encourages new, smoother skin to grow.

- Combination Therapy
- The best results often come from combining treatments.

Consistency is key. Most scars improve gradually, session by session, as collagen builds up.
