Advanced resurfacing procedures that target all scar types — atrophic, ice pick, boxcar, and rolling — to restore smooth, even skin texture you can feel confident in.
Acne scars form when inflamed breakouts damage the deeper layers of the skin. As the skin heals, it either produces too little collagen — creating depressed scars — or too much, causing raised tissue. The type of scar determines the most effective treatment approach.
At Aliva Aesthetics, we assess your specific scar pattern, depth, and skin type before recommending any treatment. Our multi-modal approach combines resurfacing, collagen induction, and skin remodelling to achieve the most comprehensive improvement possible.
Understanding how and why acne scars form helps us choose the most targeted treatment to address your specific scar type and depth.
Severe cystic or nodular acne damages the dermis deeply, disrupting the collagen structure and leaving permanent textural changes.
The longer active acne goes untreated, the greater the tissue damage — making early intervention critical to preventing permanent scarring.
Manually manipulating spots forces bacteria deeper into the tissue, dramatically increasing the likelihood of permanent scarring.
Your skin's healing response is partly genetic. Some individuals are predisposed to developing atrophic or hypertrophic scarring after acne injury.
UV exposure during healing darkens post-inflammatory marks and delays the resolution of acne scars significantly.
Darker skin tones are more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, while lighter skin types tend toward atrophic scarring.
Different scar types respond to different treatments. Accurate classification is the foundation of effective scar management.
Deep, narrow scars that punch into the skin — typically treated with TCA cross or subcision combined with laser resurfacing.
Broad, defined depressions with sharp edges — responding well to fractional laser, microneedling RF, and subscision.
Undulating, wave-like depressions caused by fibrous tethering — addressed with subscision, filler, and fractional laser.
Thick, raised scars from excess collagen production — treated with steroid injections, laser, and silicone-based protocols.
Flat red or brown marks left after acne heals — addressed with peels, laser toning, and targeted brightening treatments.
Multiple scar types coexisting — managed with our comprehensive multi-modal scar treatment protocol.

Radiofrequency energy delivered via fine needles into the dermis — stimulating collagen at precise depths for textural improvement.
A minor procedure using a needle to release fibrous tethering beneath rolling scars — immediately lifting depressed areas.
Precise application of trichloroacetic acid into individual ice pick and boxcar scars to stimulate focal collagen regeneration.
Hyaluronic acid filler injected beneath atrophic scars to immediately elevate them and stimulate longer-term collagen production.

“Ice pick scars from years of acne were something I thought I would carry forever. Aliva's combination protocol of Fractional CO2 and PRP reduced their depth by at least 70% in 4 sessions.”
“Rolling scars on my cheeks had me avoiding photos for years. After Microneedling RF at Aliva, the surface is so much smoother and the improvement keeps progressing with each session.”
“Boxcar scars from teenage years responded brilliantly to the Chemical Peel and Microneedling combination here. I went from covering my skin with foundation to wearing none at all.”
“My post-acne dark marks and pitting needed a specialist approach. The team at Aliva designed a precise scar revision plan and the results at 3 months were beyond what I expected.”
“PRP treatment for my acne scars helped regenerate the skin from within. I was sceptical about a biological approach but the collagen remodelling effect is visible and real.”
“Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation combined with shallow pitting needed two separate treatments. Aliva handled both simultaneously and within 5 months my skin looks healthy and even-toned.”
