Advanced Acne Scar Treatment in Chennai
Acne scars can deeply affect confidence, even after active acne is controlled. At Virtue Aesthetic Clinic, we offer advanced acne scar treatment in Chennai using clinically proven technologies and customised protocols to restore smoother, clearer skin. Whether your scars are mild or severe, our dermatologist-led approach focuses on visible, long-term improvement—safely and effectively.
What Are Acne Scars?
Acne scars develop when inflammation from acne damages the deeper layers of the skin. The type and severity of acne determine the nature of scarring.
- Ice Pick Scars
Deep, narrow scars usually caused by cystic acne. - Boxcar Scars
Broad, well-defined scars commonly seen on the cheeks and forehead. - Rolling Scars
Wavy or uneven skin texture caused by fibrous bands pulling the skin downward
Our Acne Scar Treatment Options
Laser Treatment for Acne Scars
Laser skin treatment is highly effective for moderate to deep acne scars. We use CO2 and Fractional Laser technology, which creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates collagen regeneration and improves overall skin texture.
Fractional lasers target only affected areas, allowing faster healing and minimal downtime. Multiple sessions may be required for optimal and long-lasting results.
Microneedling with PRP
Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) promotes natural skin regeneration by inducing controlled micro-injuries using medical-grade needles. This stimulates collagen and elastin production.
PRP, derived from the patient’s own blood, enhances healing and rejuvenation. This treatment is especially effective for rolling scars and shallow boxcar scars,
offering gradual and natural improvement with minimal downtime.
Chemical Peels for Acne Scars
Chemical peels exfoliate damaged skin layers, improving skin tone and texture. TCA peels are effective for deeper or pigmented scars, while glycolic peels help with surface texture and mild scarring.
Chemical peels can be safely combined with other acne scar treatments for enhanced results.
Subcision and TCA CROSS
Subcision is a minimally invasive procedure used for rolling and tethered scars. Fibrous bands beneath the skin are released, allowing the skin to lift naturally.
TCA CROSS (Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars) is used for ice pick scars. High-strength TCA is applied directly into the scar to stimulate collagen production from within.
These techniques are particularly effective for severe acne scarring and are often combined with laser and microneedling treatments.

What to Expect During Acne Scar Treatment in Chennai
Step-by-Step Treatment Process
1. Detailed Skin & Scar Assessment
Your dermatologist evaluates scar type (ice pick, boxcar, rolling), depth, skin sensitivity, and medical history to design a customised treatment plan.
2. Personalised Treatment Planning
Based on the assessment, a combination of laser, microneedling, subcision, or peels is recommended for optimal results rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
3. Pre-Treatment Preparation
The skin is cleansed, and a topical anaesthetic cream is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.
4. Procedure Session
The selected treatment is performed using FDA-approved equipment under expert supervision. Session duration usually ranges from 30 to 60 minutes.
5. Post-Treatment Care Guidance
You’ll receive clear aftercare instructions, including sun protection, skincare products, and activity restrictions to promote healing and results.
6. Recovery & Follow-Up
Mild redness or swelling may occur and typically subsides within a few days. Follow-up sessions are scheduled based on your treatment plan.
Before & After Results for Acne Scar Treatment
Rolling Acne Scars
Before:
Uneven skin texture with visible rolling scars on the cheeks, giving the skin a rough and aged appearance.
After:
Noticeably smoother skin with reduced depth of rolling scars after combination treatment using subcision and microneedling with PRP. Overall texture improved with a healthier, more even skin tone.
Boxcar Acne Scars
Before:
Deep boxcar scars with sharp edges on the cheeks and temples, clearly visible even with makeup.
After:
Significant reduction in scar depth and softened edges following fractional laser sessions. Skin appears firmer, smoother, and more refined with improved collagen support.
Ice Pick Acne Scars
Before:
Multiple deep ice-pick scars creating pin-like pits, especially on the cheeks and nose area.
After:
Visible filling and narrowing of deep scars after TCA CROSS combined with laser treatment. Skin looks more uniform, clearer, and rejuvenated over gradual sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How many sessions are needed?
Most patients require 3 to 6 sessions, depending on the type and severity of acne scars. Mild scars may improve in fewer sessions, while deeper boxcar or ice-pick scars often need combination treatments spread over several months.
Is acne scar treatment painful?
The procedures are well tolerated. A topical anaesthetic cream is applied before treatment to minimise discomfort. Patients usually feel only mild warmth, tingling, or pressure during the session.
What is the downtime after treatment?
Downtime varies by procedure.
Chemical peels & microneedling: 1–3 days of redness
Fractional / CO₂ laser: 5–7 days of recovery
Most patients can resume normal activities quickly with proper aftercare.
When will I see results?
Initial improvement is often visible within 2–4 weeks. Collagen remodelling continues for 3–6 months, leading to gradual and progressive skin smoothening after each session.
Are the results permanent?
Yes, the improvement achieved is long-lasting because treatments stimulate natural collagen production. Maintaining good skincare, sun protection, and acne control helps preserve results for years.
