Acne Scar Removal Treatment

At Dr. Asma Skin Care Clinic, we treat all types of acne scars, including ice pick scars, boxcar scars, rolling scars, hyperpigmented scars, and atrophic scars. The treatment approach may vary based on the type and depth of the scar.

Yes, fractional CO2 treatment is one of the most effective treatments for acne scars. It works by resurfacing the skin, stimulating collagen production, and improving the texture and appearance of the skin. This treatment is especially effective for deeper scars and can provide significant improvement with minimal downtime.

The number of sessions required varies depending on the severity of the scars and the individual's skin type. Most patients notice improvement after just one or two treatments, but more severe scars may require additional sessions. Dr. Asma will assess your skin and recommend the appropriate number of sessions for optimal results.

Fractional CO2 treatment is minimally painful. We apply a topical numbing cream before the procedure to ensure your comfort. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or a sensation of heat during the procedure, but this subsides quickly. There may also be mild redness and swelling post-treatment, which typically resolves within a few days.

Side effects are rare but may include mild redness, swelling, or temporary dryness of the skin. These side effects usually subside within a few days. Dr. Asma will provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and minimize any potential side effects.

While results vary from patient to patient, many individuals notice visible improvement after just one session of fractional CO2 treatment. Full results may take several weeks to months as collagen production and skin healing continue. The skin will gradually become smoother and more even in tone.

Yes, there are other acne scar treatments available, such as microneedling, chemical peels, and dermal fillers. However, fractional CO2 treatment remains one of the most effective options, especially for deeper scars. Dr. Asma will assess your condition and recommend the best treatment option for you.

Most patients can return to their daily activities within 1-2 days after fractional CO2 treatment. There may be some redness or swelling for the first few days, but this will subside as the skin heals. Dr. Asma will guide you through the recovery process to ensure optimal results.

Yes, acne scar treatments like fractional CO2 can also help improve the overall health of your skin and reduce the likelihood of future breakouts by encouraging collagen production and skin regeneration. However, it’s essential to continue with a good skincare routine to prevent acne from recurring.
