Types of Acne Scars
Different acne scars require different treatment approaches. During your consultation at Nuance Aesthetics, our specialists assess your skin and recommend the most effective combination of treatments for optimal results.
Ice Pick Scars
These are narrow, deep scars that extend into the skin, giving the appearance of tiny puncture marks. They are among the most challenging acne scars to treat.
- Deep and narrow depressions
- Common on cheeks
- Often require combination therapy
Boxcar Scars
Boxcar scars appear as round or oval depressions with well-defined edges. They can be shallow or deep and often develop after inflammatory acne.
- Sharp vertical edges
- Common on temples and cheeks
- Can improve significantly with resurfacing
Rolling Scars
Rolling scars create wave-like undulations on the skin due to fibrous bands pulling the skin downward beneath the surface.
- Soft rolling appearance
- Skin looks uneven in light
- Usually responds well to subcision
Hypertrophic & Keloid Scars
Unlike depressed scars, these scars are raised above the skin surface because of excessive collagen formation during healing.
- Raised and firm scars
- Sometimes itchy or uncomfortable
- More common on jawline, chest & shoulders
Post-inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)
These are dark marks left after acne heals. Although not true scars, they can persist for months and affect overall skin appearance.
- Brown or dark spots
- Common in Indian skin
- Usually fade with proper treatment

Acne Scar Treatment FAQs
Find answers to some of the most common questions about acne scar treatment at Nuance Aesthetics, Thrissur.
While complete removal may not always be possible, modern treatments such as Fractional CO₂ Laser, RF Microneedling, Subcision and PRP can significantly improve the appearance of most acne scars. The degree of improvement depends on the type and severity of the scars.
Most patients require 3–6 sessions, although this varies depending on the type of scars, skin condition and the treatment plan recommended during your consultation.
There is no single best treatment for everyone. Many patients benefit from a combination of CO₂ Fractional Laser, RF Microneedling, Subcision, PRP, Chemical Peels or Dermal Fillers based on their specific scar type.
Most procedures are performed after applying a topical anaesthetic cream, making the treatment well tolerated. Some patients may experience mild discomfort during or shortly after the procedure.
Downtime depends on the treatment used. Chemical Peels and RF Microneedling generally involve minimal downtime, while Fractional CO₂ Laser may require several days of recovery. Your doctor will explain what to expect based on your treatment plan.
Some improvements may be noticeable within a few weeks, but collagen remodelling continues for several months. The full benefits are often seen 3–6 months after completing treatment.
Yes. When performed by experienced doctors using appropriate settings and personalised treatment plans, acne scar treatments are generally safe for Indian skin types.
