Acne scars and pores: classification comes before treatment
Acne scars vary by depth and shape. Ice-pick, boxcar, rolling, tethered, and hypertrophic scars may require different approaches. Enlarged pores and post-acne pigmentation are also different concerns.
Approaches a clinic may discuss
Possible approaches may include fractional laser, RF microneedling, subcision, focal chemical techniques, injectables, or combined treatment. A clinic should explain which scar type each step is targeting.
Questions to ask
- What scar types do I have?
- Which parts of the plan treat scars versus pigment or pores?
- Why is combination treatment recommended?
- What downtime and pigmentation risk apply to my skin?
- How many sessions are realistically expected?
