Why Do Acne Scars Form in the First Place?
Acne scars form when the skin experiences significant trauma during or after breakouts, especially in moderate to severe acne. As the inflammation from acne travels deeper into the skin, it disrupts the normal healing process. The skin may overproduce or underproduce collagen during this time, leading to depressions or raised areas that become permanent if left untreated. Understanding this natural wound-healing response helps us better treat the scars at their root.
At HALOS, we go beyond surface-level diagnosis. Our expert dermatologists conduct in-depth assessments to determine the exact scar types present and their underlying cause. We consider lifestyle factors, acne history, skin type, and past treatments to craft a plan that heals from within. This isn’t a quick fix—it’s a long-term investment in your skin’s health and clarity, delivered with thoughtful, expert care.

Types of Acne Scars We Treat
Acne scars come in many forms, differing in size, depth, and how much they affect your skin’s appearance. At HALOS Dermatology in Chennai, we treat all types of acne scars with care that’s both clinical and compassionate. Ice pick scars are narrow and deep, often difficult to fill; boxcar scars are wider and have sharp edges; rolling scars cause uneven skin texture; while pigmentation marks can darken and discolor the skin long after acne has cleared. Each scar type requires a distinct method of treatment for optimal results.
We customize every treatment plan to suit your unique skin type and needs. Many of our patients have mixed scar types, and we combine different therapies to target each one effectively. With a blend of experience and the latest dermatological tools, we help your skin gradually regain its smoothness. Whether your scars are recent or have been troubling you for years, our solutions are designed to bring visible and lasting transformation.
- Ice pick scars – narrow and deep
- Rolling scars – shallow with uneven texture
- Boxcar scars – wide, shallow indentations with sharp borders
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
- Red and brown marks left after acne
- Mixed-type scars common in Indian skin
Advanced Scar Removal Treatments at HALOS
We offer some of Chennai’s most advanced acne scar removal procedures, all performed under the expert care of experienced dermatologists. These include microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma), which stimulates collagen and skin renewal; subcision, which releases deep tethered scars; and fractional lasers that resurface skin with precision. Each of these treatments is scientifically validated and chosen based on your unique scar pattern and skin response.
The aim is not just to reduce the appearance of scars but to help your skin regenerate from within. We avoid aggressive or one-size-fits-all methods, focusing instead on techniques that strengthen and restore your skin's natural resilience. Whether you prefer gradual improvement or more aggressive correction, we’ll guide you through the best options with clarity and care—always considering safety, comfort, and real results.

Frequently asked questions
Acne refers to active pimples, blackheads, or cysts, while acne scars are the marks left behind after the pimples heal. Scars can appear as pits, depressions, or dark spots. Even when acne is gone, scars can linger for years without proper treatment. That’s where specialized scar removal procedures make a real difference.
While complete erasure isn’t always possible, modern dermatology treatments can significantly reduce the appearance of scars—often making them almost invisible. Treatments like microneedling, laser resurfacing, and chemical peels work to rebuild collagen and smoothen the skin. With regular treatment, the improvements can be truly remarkable.
There’s no one-size-fits-all. The best treatment depends on the type of scars you have—ice-pick, boxcar, rolling, or post-inflammatory pigmentation. At HALOS, we assess your skin and customize the approach, which may include a combination of microneedling, RF therapy, PRP, or fractional lasers for the best outcome.
Most treatments involve minimal downtime. You might experience slight redness, swelling, or flaking for a couple of days, especially after laser or microneedling sessions. We provide aftercare instructions to ensure your skin heals beautifully and you’re back to your routine quickly.
Most people notice visible improvement after 2–3 sessions, but deeper or older scars may require 4–6 sessions for optimal results. We’ll discuss your treatment plan upfront and adjust it based on how your skin responds. Each session brings you closer to smoother, more even-toned skin.
