Who this is for
- Those left with red marks or pigmentation after acne has settled
- Those whose skin is uneven because acne left depressions
- Those who want to discuss treatment suited to their scar type
How it is done
The clinic divides scars into ice-pick scars (narrow and dense, as if pierced by an awl), rolling scars (gently sloping depressions), boxcar scars (sharp, right-angled edges) and keloid scars (raised from overgrown tissue). The methods introduced are: (1) PRP (an injection of components obtained by centrifuging the patient's blood), (2) Fraxel (a laser that makes fine, evenly spaced micro-holes to deliver laser energy to the dermis) and (3) Secret laser (a laser delivering RF energy into the skin through microneedles). The method is chosen according to the scar, and the clinic says the program also addresses overall skin condition such as pores and blemishes.
Recovery timeline
The website does not list a recovery period. How long redness and crusting last depends on the type and intensity of laser, and scar treatment may require several sessions. Please confirm the schedule at consultation.
Risks and side effects
- Redness, swelling, crusting and fine marks may occur in the treated area.
- Injection procedures such as PRP may cause bruising and pain at the injection sites.
- Rarely, hyperpigmentation, infection, burns or worsening of scars may occur.
- The degree of change depends on scar depth and type, and scars may not disappear completely. Results, recovery speed and the number of sessions needed vary with skin condition, and suitability is decided at consultation and examination.
Results and recovery vary by individual. Possible complications are explained during consultation.
