Acne Scar Treatment in Seoul

Acne scars are among the most common long-term effects of acne. Even after active breakouts have resolved, scars can remain visible for years and affect skin texture, confidence, and overall appearance.

Acne scars form when inflammation damages collagen and underlying skin structures during the healing process. Depending on the severity of acne and individual healing responses, scars may vary significantly in appearance and depth.

At The Beautiful Skin Clinic, acne scar treatment plans are customized according to:

• Ice pick scars
• Boxcar scars
• Rolling scars
• Atrophic scars
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven skin texture
• Post-acne pigmentation
• Red acne marks
• Mixed scar patterns
• Long-standing acne damage

Every patient receives a detailed skin assessment to determine scar type, severity, and the most effective treatment approach.

Types of Acne Scars

Ice Pick Scars

Ice pick scars are narrow, deep scars that extend into the skin. These scars are often among the most challenging acne scars to treat and may require specialized treatment approaches.

Boxcar Scars

Boxcar scars appear as wider depressions with defined edges. They often develop after inflammatory acne and can create an uneven skin surface.

Rolling Scars

Rolling scars create wave-like skin irregularities due to fibrous bands beneath the skin. These scars can contribute to an uneven skin texture and shadowing effect.

Atrophic Scars

Atrophic scars occur when insufficient collagen is produced during healing, resulting in depressed areas of the skin.
