Acne scar treatment improves indented scars and uneven texture by remodelling the skin and building new collagen. At Egg Clinic in Sinsa, Gangnam, a doctor identifies your scar types and combines options such as RF microneedling, fractional laser, subcision and skin boosters; most people need a course of sessions, with gradual improvement rather than complete removal.

How are acne scars treated?
Acne scars form when deep inflammation damages collagen. Indented scars are usually described as rolling (soft, wave-like), boxcar (sharp-edged) or icepick (narrow and deep), and most people have a mix. Because each type responds differently, the most effective plans combine methods.
RF microneedling such as Potenza remodels collagen with heat at depth; fractional lasers such as Er:YAG Fraxel resurface texture; subcision releases tethered rolling scars; and collagen-stimulating boosters such as Juvelook can support volume. The doctor builds the sequence around your scars and skin type.
Who is a good candidate?
- Rolling, boxcar or icepick acne scars
- Uneven texture and enlarged pores after acne
- Scars that have not improved with skincare
- People with acne now well controlled
Active acne is usually treated first, as new inflammation can create new scars. Treatment is postponed during pregnancy, after recent isotretinoin, or with infection in the area, and people prone to keloids or pigmentation need a cautious plan. Brown or red marks without indentation are treated differently, often with toning lasers.

Before & after at Egg Clinic
This photo shows a Morpheus8 result, an RF microneedling treatment used for acne scars and texture. Results vary.
What are the results and recovery like?
Downtime depends on the methods used. After RF microneedling, redness usually lasts one to three days; after fractional laser, expect several days of redness and fine flaking; after subcision, swelling and bruising can last up to a week. Collagen keeps rebuilding for months, so scars soften gradually over a course of sessions spaced about four weeks apart. Scars rarely disappear completely, and results vary, but many people see a clear improvement in texture.
