Erase the past — rebuild from below.
Comprehensive acne scar revision — subcision, TCA cross, fractional laser, RF microneedling and dermal filler. The right tool, or right combination, for your specific scars.
What it is, plainly.
There is no single magic treatment for acne scars. There are several great treatments, each best for a specific scar type — and combining them is what produces dramatic results. Boxcars need fractional laser. Rolling scars need subcision. Icepick scars need TCA cross. Wide-mouth scars need filler. Most faces have a mix.
Dr. Anitha maps your scars individually — type, depth, distribution — then sequences the right protocol. Subcision first to break tethered scars, TCA cross for icepicks, then RF microneedling or fractional laser to remodel the dermis. Sometimes filler at the end to lift residual depressions.
Honest expectations: 60–80% improvement is realistic; 100% removal of severe scars is not. We show you before/after at every stage and only recommend what we believe will work.
Conditions and concerns we address.
- Boxcar scars (sharp-edged, U-shaped)
- Rolling scars (wave-like)
- Icepick scars (deep, narrow)
- Hypertrophic acne scars (raised)
- Atrophic scars (depressed)
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
- Bridging scars (tethered)
- Mixed-pattern scarring
Step-by-step, no surprises.
Scar Mapping
Cross-polarised photography under standard light. Each scar typed, mapped and tagged for the right modality.
Subcision (Tethered Scars)
Tri-bevel needle inserted under the skin to break the fibrotic strands holding scars down. Immediate visible release.
TCA Cross (Icepicks)
100% trichloroacetic acid placed precisely into icepick floors. Re-epithelialisation lifts the scar floor.
Fractional Laser / RF Microneedling
Dermal remodelling. Three to six sessions four weeks apart.
Dermal Filler (Optional)
HA filler beneath stubborn boxcar scars for immediate lift.
Maintenance & SPF
Strict SPF 50, retinol nightly, prevent new scars by treating any acne aggressively at first sign.

Long-Term Aftercare
Treatment is the start. Maintenance, photographs and follow-up are part of the package — for life.
Common questions, clear answers.
Will my scars completely disappear?
Severe scars: no. Most scars: 60–80% improvement is achievable with multi-modal therapy. We give you a written, photo-based outcome forecast at consultation.
How many sessions will I need?
Typically 4–8 sessions across multiple modalities over 6–12 months. Each session has a specific role — we don't repeat what's already done.
Will scars come back?
Treated scars stay treated. New scars form only from new active acne — controlling acne is essential.
Is subcision painful?
Local anaesthesia makes it comfortable. Mild bruising for 5–7 days is expected.
