Scars, by type.
Acne scars come in types, and each type needs a different tool. Rolling scars respond to subcision and microneedling. Boxcar scars need fractional laser or RF. Ice-pick scars need TCA CROSS or CO2. Raised scars need injections. Brown marks need laser toning and peels; red marks need vascular laser or LED. Most faces have several types, which is why the clinic treats acne scars with a plan rather than a single device.
Dr. Fehmida maps the scars at the consultation and combines the tools: Dermapen 4 microneedling, Sylfirm X RF microneedling, fractional RF, Fotona and CO2RE fractional lasers, subcision, TCA CROSS, PRP and exosomes for regeneration, and filler for depressed areas. Every tool is chosen with brown skin in mind.
Four to six sessions over four to six months is usual, with improvement continuing for months after.
A tool for every scar.

Ask on WhatsAppSubstantially improved, yes; most patients see fifty to eighty percent improvement over a course. Complete erasure is rare and the consultation is honest about it.
It depends on the scar types, and most faces have several. The consultation maps them and combines tools accordingly.
Yes, when the tools are chosen for it: microneedling, RF and Fotona erbium are the mainstays; CO2 is used with preparation.
Four to six, four to six weeks apart.
One to two days for microneedling and RF; five to seven for CO2.
Texture improves within weeks; scars visibly shallower by the third session.
Yes. Scar treatment starts once the acne is controlled, so new scars stop forming.
