Acne scars, assessed by type before treatment.

Acne scars, assessed by type before treatment.

Different scars respond to different approaches. We assess scar type and active acne first, then plan a route that fits your skin.

Honest Assessment

The clinical answer.

Acne scars vary (boxcar, rolling, icepick, pigment marks) and respond to different approaches. Assessment of scar type and any active acne comes before a plan is chosen.

Why Assessment First

Not everyone who asks about this needs it. A short assessment protects you from a route that may not suit your case — and points to what will.

Clinical Context

What is the Eximus route for acne scar treatment?

Different scars respond to different approaches. We assess scar type and active acne first, then plan a route that fits your skin.

Protocol Anchors

  • 01Consultation and mapping of scar type and distribution.
  • 02A staged plan that may combine in-clinic procedures with skin support.
  • 03Treatment in sessions, with texture reviewed over months.
Mechanism

How does acne scar treatment actually work?

Acne scars form differently depending on how the original breakout damaged the skin, and treatment follows that difference. Boxcar and rolling scars, which sit as broad shallow depressions, typically respond to techniques that stimulate new collagen under the skin, such as microneedling or RF microneedling. Icepick scars, narrow and deep, often need a more targeted approach like subcision or focused resurfacing. Pigment marks left behind by healed acne are a separate issue from textural scarring and are treated with pigmentation-focused routes instead. Identifying which type, or combination of types, is present is what decides the plan.

Suitability Mapping

Am I a suitable candidate for this protocol?

Every clinical path begins with biomarker mapping. For acne scar treatment, suitability is usually determined by:

For settled acne scarring once active breakouts are controlled.
Active acne, recent isotretinoin, or certain skin conditions may need to be addressed first.
Honest Expectations

What should I realistically expect?

Scar treatment improves texture; it does not erase scarring back to smooth, unmarked skin.
Active acne is addressed first. Treating scarring while breakouts continue tends to produce poorer, less predictable results.
Most scar protocols are staged across several sessions spaced weeks apart, with visible change building gradually rather than after a single visit.
Different scar types on the same face often need different techniques in the same plan, not one universal treatment.
Safety & Risk

What are the clinical safeguards and side effects?

We prioritise physiological safety over speed. Side effects for this route are managed through MD-led protocol adjustment:

Results are gradual and partial; complete scar removal is not promised.
Suitability depends on skin type, scar type, and history.
Sun protection and aftercare are part of the plan.

Questions

Before you book.

Do I need a consultation first?

Yes. Suitability is confirmed before any treatment plan, which keeps care safe and individual.

Do you promise fixed results?

No. Results vary by person and concern, and maintenance may be needed. We do not promise fixed outcomes.

Is the price fixed?

Pricing is indicative until a clinician reviews your concern. We discuss cost openly at consultation.
