Acne Scar Treatment: Effective Solutions for Clearer Skin

Acne scars can affect confidence and skin health, but effective treatments are available across Malaysia. Modern methods like lasers, microneedling, PRP, and fillers can help smooth the skin and reduce scar depth. The right treatment depends on your scar type, skin tone, and goals.

GLOJAS Specialist Clinic offers safe and effective acne scar treatment in Malaysia, guided by experienced doctors and evidence-based methods. The clinic uses modern laser systems, microneedling, PRP, and personalized plans to help patients achieve smoother, clearer skin with trusted medical care.

What is Acne Scars?

Acne scars are marks left on the skin after pimples heal. They happen when the skin does not repair evenly, causing dents or raised spots. Scars are more likely after severe acne or picking at pimples. They usually do not go away on their own, but treatments can make them smoother and less visible.

A study of 188 people with facial acne scars found that 88% of those treated with fractional CO₂ laser and 84% treated with microneedling radiofrequency saw more than half of their scars improve within five months. Journal of Population Therapeutics

Types of Acne Scars

acne scar treatment for ice pick

1. Ice-Pick Scars

These scars are narrow, deep, and look like small pinholes. They often need targeted treatments such as TCA CROSS or laser resurfacing.

acne scar treatment for boxcar

2. Boxcar Scars

Boxcar scars are wider and have sharp edges. They create a “punched-out” look. Microneedling, laser treatment, and subcision can improve these scars.

acne scar treatment for rolling scars

3. Rolling Scars

Rolling scars cause waves or dips on the skin. They form when scar tissue pulls the skin downward. Subcision is often the best choice for rolling scars.

acne scar treatment for Hypertrophic Scars

4. Hypertrophic Scars

These raised scars develop when the skin makes too much collagen. Steroid injections or specialized lasers can help flatten them.

acne scar treatment for keloid scar

5. Keloid Scars

Keloids grow beyond the original acne area. They may feel firm or itchy. Treatment may include steroid injections, laser therapy, or both.

Acne Scar Treatments in Malaysia

1. Fractional CO2 Laser

Co2 laser option treats deep scars and uneven skin texture. It removes tiny sections of the top skin layer and stimulates collagen growth. It is often used for ice-pick, boxcar, and rolling scars.

2. Pico Laser

Pico Laser uses fast pulses to break down pigment and improve mild scars. It works well for darker skin tones because it has a lower risk of causing pigmentation.

3. Microneedling

Microneedling creates micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production. It is suitable for mild to moderate scars and helps improve overall skin smoothness. Many people combine microneedling with PRP for better results.

4. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

PRP uses your own blood plasma to promote healing. It supports collagen growth and enhances the results of microneedling or laser treatments. It is gentle and safe for most skin types.

5. Chemical Peels

Chemical peels remove the top layers of skin and uncover newer, smoother skin. Medium and deep peels can reduce shallow scars and improve skin tone.

6. Subcision

Subcision releases the fibrous bands under the skin that cause rolling scars. A small needle is used to break these bands so the skin can rise and look smoother.

7. Dermal Fillers

For deeper dents, dermal fillers can lift the skin from below. Results are instant. They are often used with subcision for better improvement.

8. Steroid Injections

These injections help flatten hypertrophic and keloid scars. Several sessions may be needed.

9. Rejuran I

Rejuran I repairs acne scars by stimulating collagen production, improving skin texture, and promoting natural skin healing
