What can cause Acne Scarring?

Acne scars form when pimples or acne become inflamed and affect deeper layers of the skin. This interrupts the normal healing process of the skin. As the skin tries to heal, it may produce too much or too little collagen. This leads to uneven skin texture and visible scars.

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, approximately 95 % of people with acne will experience some degree of scarring. Understanding your scar type is the first step toward choosing the most effective treatment.

• Atrophic (Depressed) Scars – Icepick, boxcar, and rolling scars caused by collagen loss. These are the most common and include what many call ‘pitted acne scars.’ Pitted acne scar treatment in Dubai is a core speciality at Trusta Clinic.
• Hypertrophic & Keloid Scars – Raised, thickened scars resulting from excess collagen production, more common on the chest and back.
• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) – Flat dark marks left after acne resolves. While not true scars, they can be equally distressing and respond well to targeted treatments.

Acne Scar Treatment Options at Trusta Medical Center

Trusta Medical Center offers a comprehensive menu of clinically proven treatments, often combined for optimal outcomes. Our dermatologist will recommend the ideal protocol after your in-person consultation.

1. Laser for Acne Scars in Dubai

Laser therapy is one of the best treatments for moderate to severe acne scars. Our experienced dermatologist uses FDA-approved fractional laser technology to treat damaged skin safely while protecting the healthy skin around it.

This treatment helps the skin heal faster and boosts natural collagen production. Studies in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology show that fractional laser can reduce acne scar depth by up to 60% after a full treatment course.

• Fractional CO₂ Laser – deep resurfacing ideal for icepick and boxcar pitted acne scars
• Fotona Laser – dual-wavelength precision for pigmentation and textural irregularities
• Non-ablative Laser – stimulates collagen with zero surface disruption, zero downtime

2. Microneedling (with PRP Boost)

Our Microneedling treatment in Dubai uses sterile, medical-grade micro-needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. This triggers the body’s natural wound-healing cascade, boosting collagen and elastin production at the exact depth needed to lift rolling and boxcar scars.

When combined with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), healing is accelerated and results are amplified  making this one of the most popular options for pitted acne scars in Dubai.

3. Medical-Grade Chemical Peels

Our Chemical Peeling service uses pharmaceutical-grade acids to remove damaged surface layers and stimulate fresh cell turnover particularly effective for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and superficial acne scars.

• TCA Peel: Trichloroacetic acid penetrates mid-dermal layers to resurface moderate scarring and discolouration.
• Salicylic Peel: Oil-soluble BHA that unclogs pores, treats active acne, and fades surface marks.
• Dermamelan Peel: Depigmentation system that suppresses melanin production, ideal for PIH alongside acne scars.
• Mandelic Peel: Gentle AHA suitable for all skin tones including darker Fitzpatrick skin types common in Dubai.
• Kojic Acid Peel: Safely reduces melanin and brightens the complexion with minimal irritation risk.

4. PRP & PRF Regenerative Therapy

Our PRP Treatment in Dubai harnesses growth factors from your own blood to stimulate natural skin repair at the cellular level. Injected directly into scarred tissue, PRP increases collagen density, improves skin elasticity, and significantly reduces scar depth. PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is a second-generation advancement offering an even richer growth-factor concentration for enhanced regeneration.

5. Subcision

Subcision is a minimally invasive procedure using a fine hypodermic needle to break the fibrous bands tethering depressed scars to underlying tissue. Once released, the skin lifts naturally and collagen fills the space producing long-lasting improvement, especially for rolling scars and tethered boxcar scars.

6. Dermal Fillers for Immediate Scar Correction

For patients seeking instant visible improvement, our Dermal Filler treatments can be injected beneath deep atrophic scars to restore volume and create an immediately smoother surface. Results are temporary (6–18 months) and are often used as a bridge while longer-lasting treatments take effect.
