Acne Scar Treatment in Bangkok

Acne scar treatment by dermatologists in the Bangkok area

Acne scars are textural changes left after inflamed acne heals. They come in different types — narrow deep icepick scars, sharp-edged boxcar scars, and soft rolling scars — and many people have a mix. There are also raised scars and dark or red marks. Because each scar type responds to different methods, acne scar treatment works best when a board-certified dermatologist assesses the scars first. Siam Dermatology treats acne scars in the Greater Bangkok area.

Why scar type matters

A single laser is rarely the answer for every scar. Rolling scars often respond to subcision, deep icepick scars to focal techniques such as TCA CROSS, and overall texture to fractional laser or microneedling. Dark marks and redness are pigment and vascular problems, not true scars, and are treated differently. Choosing the wrong method wastes time and money — and on Asian skin, the wrong laser setting can cause new pigmentation. A specialist combines the right techniques in the right order.

Treatment options

Depending on the scars, a dermatologist may use subcision to release tethered rolling scars, TCA CROSS for icepick scars, fractional CO2 or other resurfacing lasers for texture, microneedling with or without radiofrequency, and treatment of any remaining pigment or redness. Several sessions are usually needed, and active acne is controlled first so new scars do not form. Improvement is gradual and realistic expectations are part of the plan.

Treat active acne first

There is no point resurfacing scars while new acne keeps forming. A dermatologist will usually bring active acne under control before or alongside scar treatment, which protects your investment and your skin.
