We offer specific treatments for scars, tailored to each patient's individual needs.

Atrophic (depressed) acne scars fall into three main types, and recognizing which one predominates in your case is what guides the most effective protocol:

Rolling scars look like broad, shallow undulations, caused by fibrosis that tethers the skin from below — they respond well to subcision (which releases this tethering) combined with filler or fractional radiofrequency.

Boxcar scars are round or oval, with straighter edges and shallow-to-moderate depth — they respond well to fractional radiofrequency and chemical peeling, which reshape the skin texture.

Icepick scars are small, deep, and narrow, like a fine puncture — they are the most challenging to treat and usually require more specific techniques and combined, long-term protocols.

Among the techniques we use, alone or combined, are:

  • Collagen Biostimulator
  • Subcision
  • Hyaluronic Acid Filler
  • Fractional Radiofrequency
  • Chemical Peeling
  • And others

It is common for the same person to have more than one type of scar at the same time, which requires a combined approach. The exact protocol — techniques, order, and number of sessions — is always defined in your personalized consultation, after identifying the predominant scar types.

Testimonials

Those who lived it, tell it best.

Subtle results, transformed self-esteem — in the words of those who have been to the practice.

I always had a lot of doubts about facial harmonization, because of comments like ‘everyone ends up looking the same’ or ‘you lose your natural look.’ But Dra. Chris understood exactly what I was looking for and knows how to bring out each person's unique features. I loved my results — I can still see my own face, everything subtle, yet beautiful!
