Refine Skin Texture and Improve
the Appearance of Acne Scars
Acne scars are a common concern that can affect skin texture long after active acne has cleared. These scars form when the skin’s healing process is disrupted, often due to inflammation, collagen breakdown, or damage within deeper layers of the skin. As a result, irregularities such as indentations or raised areas can appear, leaving lasting changes in skin tone and texture.
At Prophile Clinics, we offer professional acne scars treatment options designed to refine skin texture and support natural collagen renewal, improving the appearance of different scar types. With a range of advanced techniques, tailored treatments can address both shallow and deeper scars to restore a more even skin surface.
What Are Acne Scars?
Acne scars develop when inflammation from acne lesions penetrates deeply into the skin and affects the underlying tissue. During healing, the skin may produce either too little collagen (leading to indentations) or too much (resulting in raised scars). These changes can leave long-term marks that are difficult to manage with skincare alone.
Types of Acne Scars
Acne scarring is not the same for everyone, and identifying the scar type is an important step in selecting the most effective treatment.
Atrophic acne scars are the most common and appear as indentations below the skin’s surface. They are further divided into three subtypes:
- Ice pick scars: Narrow and deep, creating small, sharp pits.
- Boxcar scars: Wider depressions with more defined edges.
- Rolling scars: Wavy, uneven indentations that give the skin a textured look.
Hypertrophic and keloid scars develop when excess collagen forms during healing, leaving raised, firm scars above the skin’s surface.
Causes of Acne Scarring
Several factors contribute to the development of acne scarring, including:
- Severe or cystic acne
- Squeezing or picking at acne lesions
- Delayed or inadequate acne treatment
- Genetic predisposition
- Prolonged inflammation in the skin
Prevention of Acne Scars
While not all scarring can be prevented, certain measures may reduce the risk of developing permanent marks:
- Early treatment of acne: Managing acne before it progresses lowers the likelihood of scarring.
- Avoid skin picking: Disrupting the natural healing process increases the chance of tissue damage.
- Sun protection: Protecting the skin from UV exposure minimises post-inflammatory changes and uneven pigmentation.
When to Consider
Acne Scars Treatment
We often see individuals consider acne scars treatment when marks remain long after acne has healed or when uneven texture continues to affect the skin’s surface. While a good skincare routine can help, deeper scars usually need professional treatment. During a consultation, we assess scar type, skin tone and overall skin health to recommend the most suitable approach.
Acne Scars Treatment Options
at Prophile Clinics
At Prophile Clinics, we offer a range of advanced procedures to help refine skin texture and support the repair of acne scarring.
Laser Treatment
Laser treatment for acne scars resurfaces the skin by stimulating new collagen formation. This approach helps reduce the depth of scars, refine irregular textures and restore a more balanced surface.
RF Microneedling
RF microneedling combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to remodel scar tissue. By delivering energy deep into the dermis, it promotes collagen and elastin production, effectively targeting rolling and boxcar scars.
Dermapen
Dermapen is particularly effective for improving overall texture and treating shallow atrophic scars. The microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to trigger natural healing and collagen renewal.
Collagen Biostimulator
Collagen biostimulator treatments support long-term dermal repair by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. These treatments are designed to gradually restore skin structure and improve scar appearance over time.
Skin Boosters
Skin boosters are designed to deeply hydrate and support the skin’s repair process. By improving hydration and promoting regeneration, they can help soften the appearance of acne scarring and improve overall skin texture.
Combination Approaches
In many cases, we recommend combining treatments to achieve more balanced results. For example, laser resurfacing may refine surface texture, while RF microneedling stimulates deeper collagen remodelling. By tailoring treatments in this way, we can address multiple layers of scarring in a structured, effective manner.
How Much Does Acne Scars Treatment Cost?
The cost of acne scars treatment varies according to the type of procedure, the number of sessions required and individual skin characteristics. During a personalised consultation, we provide a clear outline of recommended treatments and expected costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best acne scars treatment?
The best acne scars treatment depends on the type of scars, skin characteristics and overall skin health. Options may include laser resurfacing, RF microneedling, skin boosters, or collagen biostimulators.
How to get rid of acne scars permanently?
Some scars can be significantly reduced, but complete removal is not always possible. Professional treatments help remodel scar tissue and improve skin texture over time.
How many acne scar treatments are needed?
The number of sessions varies depending on the treatment method and severity of scarring. We usually recommend a treatment plan tailored after a detailed consultation.
Is laser treatment good for acne scars?
Yes, laser treatment is often effective for acne scarring as it resurfaces the skin and stimulates new collagen production. It is especially useful for deeper scars and irregular texture.
Can RF microneedling reduce acne scars?
RF microneedling delivers energy into the dermis while creating micro-injuries, encouraging collagen and elastin renewal. This combination helps reduce rolling and boxcar acne scars.
What’s the difference between acne marks and acne scars?
Acne marks are areas of pigmentation or discolouration left behind after a blemish heals. Acne scars, on the other hand, involve changes in skin texture, such as indentations or raised tissue
