Understanding Acne and Acne Scars
Acne is one of the most common skin problems, affecting nearly 90% of young adults. It typically appears on areas with high concentrations of oil glands such as the face, chest, shoulders, and back.
The main causes of acne and acne scars include:
-
Excessive sebum (oil) production
-
Blocked pores and bacterial infection (Propionibacterium acnes)
-
Hormonal imbalance or increased androgen activity
-
Inflammation and skin damage during acne healing
When acne lesions heal, they can leave behind permanent scars that vary in depth, shape, and texture.
Types of Acne Scars
There are several types of acne scars, and understanding them helps determine the most suitable treatment:
-
Ice Pick Scars – Deep, narrow scars that resemble small punctures in the skin.
-
Boxcar Scars – Broad, box-shaped depressions with well-defined edges, often appearing on the cheeks and temples.
-
Rolling Scars – Wavy or undulating depressions that make the skin look uneven or rough.
Each scar type requires a specific treatment approach for optimal results, which Dr. Zameer determines during your personalized consultation.
Advanced Acne Scar Treatment Options in Lahore
At Dr. Zameer’s clinic, we use a combination of medical and aesthetic techniques to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
1. Chemical Peel
A chemical peel involves applying a controlled solution to exfoliate the damaged top layer of skin. This process stimulates cell renewal and collagen production, helping reduce discoloration, fine lines, and mild acne scars.
2. Dermabrasion
Dermabrasion is a deeper exfoliating treatment that removes the outer and middle layers of the skin using a rotating instrument. It promotes new skin formation, smooths out deeper scars, and enhances overall skin texture. Healing usually takes 5–7 days.
3. Microdermabrasion
This minimally invasive technique gently removes the surface layer of dead skin cells to refresh your complexion. Microdermabrasion is effective for mild scarring and helps improve the results of other treatments like chemical peels or microneedling.
4. Laser Treatment
Laser resurfacing is one of the most effective modern treatments for acne scars. It uses focused laser energy to target damaged tissue and stimulate collagen production.
-
Ablative lasers (such as CO₂ and Erbium YAG) remove damaged skin layers for deeper scars.
-
Non-ablative lasers heat the deeper layers to promote skin tightening and smoother texture.
Laser treatment is ideal for boxcar and rolling scars, and results continue improving for several months after the procedure.
5. Fat Grafting (Dermal Fat Transfer)
For deep or pitted scars, fat grafting helps restore lost volume. Fat is extracted from another part of your body (such as the abdomen or thighs) and carefully injected beneath the scarred skin. This improves contour and creates a smoother surface. Downtime is minimal, usually 1–2 days.
6. Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy)
Microneedling involves rolling fine, sterile needles across the skin to create micro-injuries that trigger collagen regeneration. It can be performed alone or combined with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for enhanced rejuvenation. This method helps fade scars, refine pores, and improve overall skin firmness.
What to Expect During Consultation
During your consultation, Dr. Zameer will:
-
Examine your skin and identify the type and severity of scars
-
Discuss your skin concerns, medical history, and treatment goals
-
Recommend a customized acne scar treatment plan tailored to your needs
Every treatment is performed in a safe, hygienic environment using FDA-approved technologies and advanced skincare protocols.
Recovery and Results
Recovery time varies depending on the type of treatment performed. Most non-surgical options have minimal downtime, allowing you to return to daily activities quickly. Noticeable improvement in skin texture and clarity can be seen after a few sessions, with continued progress as collagen rebuilds naturally.
