Top 5 Acne Scar Treatments That Actually Work – Backed by Dermatologists

Best treatment for acne scars

Acne scars can be just as frustrating as acne itself. They affect your skin texture, confidence, and appearance long after breakouts have cleared. But here’s the good news – dermatology has evolved, and there are now effective treatments that actually work.

At DGDERMA CLINIC, we believe in evidence-based skincare, which is why we’ve compiled a list of the Top 5 Acne Scar Treatments, all approved by expert dermatologists.

1. Laser Resurfacing – For Deep & Stubborn Scars

Laser resurfacing is a gold standard for acne scars – especially boxcar and rolling scars. It works by using concentrated light energy to remove damaged skin layers and stimulate collagen production.

Best For: Deep, pitted, and stubborn acne scars

 – Downtime: 5–7 days

– DGDERMA Insight: We use Fractional CO2 Laser, which offers visible results in just 2–3 sessions.

 


2. Microneedling with PRP (Vampire Facial) – Natural Collagen Booster

Microneedling creates micro-injuries in the skin, and when combined with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), it supercharges healing and boosts collagen.

– Best For: Post-acne pigmentation, mild to moderate scars

Downtime: 1–2 days

DGDERMA Insight: Our dermatologists personalize needle depth based on your skin type and scar depth for maximum efficacy.

 


3. Chemical Peels – For Pigmented & Superficial Scars

Medical-grade peels like TCA or Glycolic Acid exfoliate dead skin layers and lighten post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) caused by acne.

– Best For: Red/brown flat acne marks, dull skin

– Downtime: Peeling for 2–3 days

DGDERMA Insight: We tailor chemical strength to your skin tone to avoid burns and boost brightness.

 


4. Dermal Fillers – Instant Lift for Depressed Scars

For deep, indented scars that look like small craters, hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers can lift the skin and make it appear smooth instantly.

– Best For: Rolling or boxcar scars

– Downtime: None

– DGDERMA Insight: Results are instant and can last up to 12–18 months.

 


5. Subcision – Break the Scar Tissue From Beneath

This minor surgical procedure involves inserting a needle under the skin to break the fibrous bands that pull scars inward.

Best For: Tethered, deep scars that worsen with facial movement

– Downtime: Mild bruising for 2–3 days

– DGDERMA Insight: Often combined with microneedling or fillers for enhanced outcomes.
