From Home Remedies to Aesthetic Treatments: Best Options for Acne Scars

Acne scars can linger long after breakouts fade, affecting skin texture and self-confidence. The good news? There are proven solutions to reduce scarring and improve skin smoothness—ranging from at-home care to advanced in-clinic procedures.

Home Remedies & Skincare

For mild acne scars, consistent home care may help improve skin texture and tone:

• Gentle exfoliation: Smooths rough surfaces and fades discolouration.
• Topical retinoids or vitamin C serums: Boost collagen and promote skin renewal.
• Daily sun protection: Prevents scars from darkening and supports healing.

However, moderate to severe scars often require professional aesthetic treatments.

Aesthetic Treatments for Acne Scars

1. Pico Laser
   Uses ultra-fast energy pulses to break down pigmentation and stimulate collagen production—ideal for dark spots and uneven texture with minimal downtime.
2. Fractional CO2 Laser
   An ablative laser that resurfaces the skin by removing micro-columns of damaged tissue and heating the dermis to promote collagen. Best for depressed and textured scars.
3. Microneedling (with or without PRP)
   Creates micro-injuries that trigger natural collagen production. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) may be added to enhance healing and improve results.
4. Chemical Peels
   Medical-grade peels exfoliate the skin and help reduce pigmentation and texture irregularities.
5. Subcision
   Releases fibrous bands pulling the skin down in deep scars. Often combined with laser or filler treatments for better outcomes.
6. Skin Boosters (Juvelook / Plinest)
   Injectable treatments that hydrate, firm, and improve skin quality from within:

• Plinest: Uses polynucleotides to repair damaged skin and promote collagen.
• Juvelook: Combines PDLLA with hyaluronic acid for hydration and gradual collagen stimulation—suitable for acne-scarred or thin skin.

7. Dermal Fillers
   Immediately lift depressed scars like boxcar or rolling scars for a more even skin surface.
