acne scar treatments in Singapore

Are you searching for effective acne scar treatment in Singapore? You are not alone. At Arium Clinic, we understand the complexities of acne scar removal and offer a range of advanced treatments tailored to your unique skin concerns.

Acne is a common skin condition that many of us experience at some point in our lives. While the active breakouts can be frustrating, for many, the lasting aftermath – acne scars – can be even more distressing. These persistent marks can affect self-confidence and leave a visible reminder long after the pimples have healed.

What Exactly Are Acne Scars?

Before we dive into solutions, it’s important to understand what causes acne scars. Scars form when a severe acne breakout penetrates the deeper layers of the skin, damaging collagen and elastin fibres. As the skin attempts to repair itself, it can sometimes produce too much tissue (leading to raised scars) or too little (leading to indented scars).

The most common types of acne scars include:

  • Ice Pick Scars: Small, deep, and narrow holes in the skin, resembling a puncture mark.
  • Boxcar Scars: Wider, box-like depressions with sharp, defined edges.
  • Rolling Scars: Broad, shallow depressions that give the skin a wavy or rolling appearance.

Why Treating Acne Scars Requires Expertise

Effective acne scar treatment in Singapore isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. The best treatment plan depends on the type and severity of your scars, your skin type, and your desired outcomes. This is where the expertise of an experienced aesthetic clinic, like Arium Clinic, becomes crucial.

Effective Acne Scar Treatment Options

At Arium Clinic, led by our experienced Dr. Donna Chow, we combine cutting-edge technology with personalized care to offer comprehensive solutions for acne scar removal. Here are some of the highly effective treatments we utilise:

Laser Treatments for Acne Scars:
Fractional Laser: This powerful laser treatment for acne scars in Singapore works by creating microscopic columns of thermal injury in the skin. This stimulates the body’s natural healing process, encouraging new collagen production and resurfacing the skin’s texture. It’s particularly effective for boxcar scars and improving overall skin tone.

Subcision for Acne Scars:
This is a surgical procedure performed in the clinic to treat rolling scars. It involves using a special needle to break the fibrous bands that pull the skin downwards, allowing the skin to lift and smooth out. Often combined with fillers for enhanced results.

Dermal Fillers:
For deeper rolling scars and some boxcar scars, hyaluronic acid dermal fillers can be strategically injected beneath the scar. This helps to lift the depressed area, making the skin surface appear smoother and more even. The results are immediate and can last for several months, often used in conjunction with subcision.

Microneedling with RF:
This technique creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin, prompting the skin to produce new collagen and elastin. When combined with Radiofrequency (RF) energy, as in certain advanced devices, it can offer even greater collagen stimulation, making it effective for improving overall skin texture and the appearance of shallow scars.

Chemical Peels:
Specific types of chemical peels, particularly those containing stronger acids, can be used to improve the appearance of shallow acne scars and overall skin texture by exfoliating the outer layers of damaged skin and promoting regeneration.

Pimple Injections (for active acne, to prevent scarring):
While not a scar treatment, our pimple injection in Singapore service is crucial for preventing new scars from forming. By quickly reducing inflammation and healing active, cystic breakouts, we can significantly minimise the risk of severe scarring. This is a key part of our holistic approach to acne management.
