What is the best treatment for deep acne scars?

Acne treatment varies, depending on the type of scarring you have on your face. So, before deciding on which treatment to use, your dermatologist will identify whether you have atrophic (eg, ice pick, box or rolling) or hypertrophic (or raised bump) scarring.

Your dermatologist will treat each component of the scarring. The best treatment for deep acne scarring (eg, ice pick scars) is a technique known as punch excision, and your dermatologist might also advise you to have a combination of therapies.

Our consultant dermatologists at the Devonshire Clinic will examine your skin, discuss your medical history and how your acne affects your everyday life, and advise you on the best treatment available.
