Acne scars are a result of either a very aggressive Nodulo-Cystic Acne condition or a result of secondary infections caused by picking or popping acne. The common types of acne scar are Ice-pick scars (sharp hole like depressions), rolling scars (scars with rolled out margins) and box scars (scars which have punched out, boxy looking margins). Most patients will have a combination of all these common types. Sometimes one can also get hypertrophy or keloidal changes in acne scars. Besides the obvious facial scarring, acne scars can also severely affect the emotional state of the patient, causing them to feel depressed.

There are many treatments that can be offered for Acne scars, and often they are used in combinations; however, there is no MAGIC treatment that can make acne scars disappear. While some patients can get 70 - 80% improvement in their scars, most will get some improvement of more than 40 – 50%.
