Considered acne scar reduction, plainly.

Acne scar revision is layered, not single-treatment. We assess scar type (atrophic, rolling, boxcar, ice-pick, hypertrophic), then design a sequenced protocol combining subcision (for tethered scars), microneedling with PRP, MNRF, fractional resurfacing and chemical peels. Realistic improvement: 50–80% over a year. Full erasure is rarely achievable.

We sequence acne scar reduction into a course that respects how skin actually changes — visible result by the end of the schedule, with a written review at the halfway mark. Strength is stepped up only when the previous session has settled completely.

A consultation precedes the first session: examination, history, and a written plan delivered the next morning. We do not double-book.

The cases we see most.

Hover or tap any indication for context. The decision to treat depends on the examination — we explain plainly when it is the right answer and when it is not.
