Types, treatments, timelines, and realistic expectations for acne scar management.
Acne scar treatment is one of the most searched aesthetic procedures in Busan — and one of the most commonly mistreated. Understanding your scar type before choosing treatment is essential.
Ice pick scars are narrow, deep channels requiring TCA CROSS or punch techniques. Rolling scars have tethered fibrous bands — subcision releases them before resurfacing. Boxcar scars respond well to fractional laser resurfacing. Most patients have a mix of all three.
A full course of acne scar treatment (3–6 sessions) typically produces 50–80% visible improvement. Complete elimination is rarely achievable. However, this level of improvement is often life-changing for patients who have struggled with their skin texture for years.
A full course typically spans 4–9 months (3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart). Results continue improving for 4–8 weeks after each session.
Topical anaesthetic is applied 30–45 minutes before each session. Most patients describe mild warmth or pressure — not sharp pain.
