Acne Scar Treatment Malaysia

The best treatment depends on the type of scars you have. Microneedling (SkinPen) works well for rolling scars, Pico Laser helps with pigmentation and shallow scars, Fractional CO₂ Laser targets deeper scars, punch excision removes stubborn ice-pick scars, while dermal fillers lift sunken scars instantly. Many patients benefit from a combination approach for optimal results.

Most patients need 3–6 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, to achieve noticeable improvement. The number of sessions depends on the severity of scars, skin type, and chosen treatment. Some treatments like fillers show results immediately, while lasers and microneedling build gradual improvement over time.

Most treatments are very tolerable. We apply numbing cream or local anaesthesia (for punch excision) to keep you comfortable. You may feel mild heat or tingling during lasers, or slight pressure during microneedling and fillers, but pain is minimal.

While some treatments may involve mild discomfort, we utilize various methods to ensure a comfortable experience, including topical numbing creams, localized injections for deeper procedures, and cooling devices during laser treatments.

• Fillers: Instant improvement after one session.

• Microneedling & Pico Laser: Noticeable changes after 2–3 sessions, with skin improving for months.

• CO₂ Laser & Punch Excision: Results appear after healing, usually within a few weeks, with continued improvement over 3–6 months.

While complete scar removal is rare, treatments can achieve 70–90% improvement for most patients. The goal is smoother, more even skin that looks healthier and more radiant.

Costs vary depending on the treatment type, number of sessions, and scar severity.

• Pico Laser & Microneedling: Mild redness for 1–2 days.

• CO₂ Laser: 5–7 days of recovery with redness/peeling.

• Fillers: Minimal downtime, possible mild swelling.

• Punch Excision: 1–2 weeks for stitches to heal.
