Acne-scar treatments
Acne scars come in different types, and most plans combine more than one approach. The right combination is chosen after Dr. Areej Albisher has assessed your scars.

What it addresses
Active acne and its consequences: icepick, rolling and boxcar scars, post-inflammatory redness and pigmentation, and enlarged pores.
Who may be suitable
Best once active acne is controlled, since scar treatment on inflamed skin risks new marks. Scar type and depth determine which techniques help.
Procedure overview
Rolling scars respond to subcision and microneedling radiofrequency; icepick and boxcar scars to fractional laser or focal techniques; discoloration to topicals and laser. Plans usually combine methods across several sessions.
Downtime & aftercare
Subcision can bruise for up to two weeks; device sessions cause 3–7 days of redness. Improvement is measured in degrees over months, not complete erasure.
How consultation works
Dr. Areej assesses the concern, discusses alternatives, expected recovery and material risks before recommending a plan.
Frequently asked questions
Can treatments be combined? Sometimes, when medically appropriate. Are results guaranteed? No—response and longevity vary.
