This page is based on Dr. Xu’s hands-on experience at ID Cosmetic Clinic and on Korean and Japanese acne scar specialty literature. It does not constitute specific medical advice, and all treatment decisions should be based on an in-person consultation.
What are acne scars, and how are they different from acne marks?
Acne scars are permanent dents or texture changes left when acne inflammation damages collagen in the dermis, the deeper layer of skin. Post-acne marks are different: they are flat red (PIE) or brown (PIH) color changes that can fade naturally. Scars will not heal on their own, and they only improve when your skin builds new collagen. Acne scar removal is one type of face scar removal; for scars from an injury or surgery, see our scar treatment options.
How can you tell a mark from a scar?
Shine a light on your skin from the side. Dents or bumps mean acne scars, a structural problem. Flat skin with only color changes means post-acne marks, a pigment or blood-vessel problem. Each needs completely different treatment.
Why do acne scars form?
Deep acne, such as cysts and nodules, damages collagen. If too little collagen grows back, a dent forms (atrophic scar). If too much grows back, a raised scar forms (hypertrophic scar). Picking, squeezing and delayed treatment are the three leading causes of scarring in Asian faces.
Why can’t one device treat every acne scar?
There are four main types: ice-pick, rolling, boxcar and raised (hypertrophic). Ice-pick scars respond to TCA CROSS, rolling scars need subcision and boxcar scars need fractional laser. No single device treats them all.
Why check your scar type first?
VISIA 3D imaging, side lighting and palpation (feeling the skin) show which scar types you have. This decides your main device and energy settings. Treating without this check is guesswork.
Clinical key points: Many clients come to us after one-size-fits-all fractional laser, with ice-pick scars unchanged, rolling scars back and new dark marks (PIH). So Dr. Xu always starts by checking your scar types, then treats marks first and dented scars second.
What causes acne scars?
Acne scars are caused by deep acne inflammation that permanently damages collagen and elastic fibers. These five factors decide whether you are left with marks or scars.
1. How deep the acne goes
Small surface pimples (papules) usually don’t scar. Cystic, nodular and conglobate (severe, linked) acne reaches the deep skin and damages collagen, with a scarring rate of over 70%.
2. Popping or picking pimples
Squeezing pushes the inflamed material deeper into the skin and makes the damage worse. The ‘pimple-popping culture’ common among Asian teenagers is the leading cause of ice-pick scars.
3. Delayed treatment
Active acne left untreated for more than 6 months raises the scarring risk many times over. The earlier you control inflammation, the fewer scars you get.
4. Your genes
If severe acne scars run in your family, your skin may repair collagen less well and scar more deeply. Asian and Mediterranean people are high-risk groups.
5. The wrong early care
Strong fractional laser, strong IPL (a light treatment) or over-exfoliating during active acne worsens inflammation and damages the skin barrier. This can lead to both PIH and deeper scars.
What are the 4 types of acne scars?
The 4 types are ice-pick, rolling, boxcar and raised (hypertrophic or keloid) scars. Most people have more than one type, so knowing your types comes first.
Ice-pick scars
Narrow, deep, pointed base| Shape | Less than 2 mm wide, more than 2 mm deep, V-shaped |
|---|---|
| Distribution | Predominantly on the temples and cheeks |
| Tactile feel | Deep and narrow with a sharp base |
| Difficulty | ★★★★★ (most difficult) |
| First-line treatment | TCA CROSS + Genius RF Gold microneedling |
Rolling scars
Wide, shallow, wave-like| Shape | More than 4 mm wide, shallow, with a wavy surface |
|---|---|
| Distribution | Predominantly along the jawline, cheeks, and lower cheek |
| Tactile feel | Fibrous bands pull the base down |
| Difficulty | ★★★ (moderate) |
| First-line treatment | Subcision + Salmon Meso (PDRN) |
Boxcar scars
Square-shaped dents| Shape | 2–4 mm wide, with steep, sharp edges |
|---|---|
| Distribution | Temples, cheekbones, jawline |
| Tactile feel | Flat base, steep edges |
| Difficulty | ★★★★ (more challenging) |
| First-line treatment | Lutronic eCO2 Fractional + Sylfirm X |
Hypertrophic and keloid (raised) scars
Thick, raised scars| Shape | Raised above the skin surface, red or brown |
|---|---|
| Distribution | Mainly jawline, chest, and back |
| Tactile feel | Firm, raised, may itch or hurt |
| Difficulty | ★★★ (use with caution) |
| First-line treatment | Corticosteroid injection into the scar + Vbeam® + Genius RF |
⚠️ Warning: Clinically, 80% of acne scar clients have a mixed type, with more than one scar type at once. Treating all scars as one type is the most common cause of treatment failure, so Dr. Xu plans separate settings and a separate order for each type.
Why does acne scar treatment for Asian skin use lower energy and longer gaps?
Asian skin (Fitzpatrick III–V) gets dark marks and barrier damage more easily after strong laser, so lower energy over more sessions is safer. Fitzpatrick types run from I, the lightest skin, to VI, the deepest.
Why standard laser settings can be risky for Asian skin
Mainstream North American protocols, such as Fraxel or CO₂ fractional laser, use energy settings made for Fitzpatrick I–II Caucasian skin. On Asian Fitzpatrick III–V skin, they carry three major risks:
- ✗ A PIH rate as high as 30–50% – High-energy laser switches on the pigment cells (melanocytes)
- ✗ Longer recovery and barrier damage – Asian skin’s outer layer (stratum corneum) is built differently, and removing too much of it slows healing
- ✗ Repeated inflammation around the hair follicles – Dense treatment can trigger new acne and more scarring
Dr. Xu’s protocol for Fitzpatrick III–V skin
| Parameters | North American standard | Asian adaptation |
|---|---|---|
| Energy density (fluence) | High / aggressive single session | Low-to-moderate / cumulative over multiple sessions |
| Coverage density | 15–25% | 5–12% |
| Treatment interval | 4 weeks | 6–8 weeks |
| Pre-treatment | None | 4 weeks of barrier + retinoid prep |
| Primary device | CO2 / Fraxel | Genius RF + eCO2 + Subcision |
Key differences: Dr. Xu’s protocol draws on Korean and Japanese acne scar practice: low energy, in layers, over several sessions. For Asian faces, slower and steadier means better long-term results and less PIH.
What is the best treatment for acne scars?
When people ask for the best acne scar treatment in Toronto, our honest answer is that it depends on your scar types. Most plans combine several of the treatments below.
We choose these acne scar treatments based on your VISIA 3D imaging and touch exam. Genius RF and Sylfirm X use RF microneedling (energy sent through fine needles) to rebuild collagen. Our acne scar treatments guide explains each option in more detail.
Lutronic Genius RF microneedling
Genius RF microneedling sends energy to precise depths (0.5–3.5 mm), layer by layer. Ice-pick, boxcar and rolling scars respond well, with significantly lower PIH risk in Asian skin than fractional laser.
Lutronic eCO2 fractional laser
The Lutronic eCO2 is the main acne scar treatment laser we use for boxcar scars. Its tiny heated columns soften boxcar scar edges, with notable effects on large-area skin resurfacing. For Asian skin, we lower the density and space sessions further apart to avoid PIH.
Sylfirm X RF microneedling
Sylfirm X is RF microneedling with pulsed and continuous-wave modes. It has unique advantages when acne scars, PIH and redness appear together, and we often alternate it with Genius RF.
Salmon Meso (PDRN)
Salmon Meso injects polynucleotides (PDRN, from salmon DNA) just under the skin to speed up collagen repair. Used between energy treatments, it shortens recovery and smooths the skin. It is particularly effective for rolling scars.
Subcision release
A special needle cuts the fibrous bands that pull rolling scars down, so the dents lift. Combined with Salmon Meso (PDRN) or RF microneedling, it gives immediate visible results.
TCA CROSS spot treatment
A strong acid, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), is placed inside each ice-pick scar. It helps new collagen lift the scar floor, which makes it a key tool for ice-pick scars.
How does acne scar removal work, step by step?
Acne scar removal at our clinic follows Dr. Xu’s 6-step standard protocol, from checking your scar type to long-term maintenance.
Consultation and scar type check
Your free 30-minute consultation includes VISIA 3D imaging to measure the depth, density and spread of your scars. Side lighting and a touch exam show how much of each type you have. We confirm your types before designing your plan.
Active acne control (if needed)
If you still have active acne, we first calm it for 3–6 months with creams or tablets. Energy treatment waits until inflammation is controlled, or new breakouts will stall your results. Our acne treatment page explains how we treat active acne.
4 weeks of skin prep before treatment
You use a retinoid cream to thin the outer skin layer, barrier-repair skincare and strict mineral SPF 50+. This significantly lowers your later PIH risk and helps the energy reach deeper.
Main treatment in stages (4–8 sessions, every 6 weeks)
We treat post-acne marks first (Vbeam® for red marks, PicoSure Pro for brown marks), then dented (atrophic) scars with Genius RF, eCO2 and subcision. We go step by step, not all at once. For shallow atrophic scars with minimal downtime, the PicoWay laser Resolve lens is another option.
Progress check (12 weeks after your main course ends)
VISIA 3D imaging measures your improvement. Then we decide on maintenance or extra treatment for certain scar types.
Long-term maintenance (1 session every 6–12 months)
This means low-energy sessions, a retinoid at home and strict sun protection. Collagen rebuilds slowly, and the most complete results appear after 12–18 months of steady care.
“The biggest misconception in acne scar treatment is ‘one machine for everything.’ Subtype, sequence, combine: that is the real craft of acne scar treatment.” — Dr. Dan Xu, M.D., CCFP
How many acne scar treatment sessions do you need, and when will you see results?
Most people need 4 to 10 sessions, about 6 weeks apart, depending on scar type. A first change often shows after 1 to 3 sessions, and significant improvement by sessions 4 to 8.
| Subtype | Number of main treatment sessions | Initial visible results | Significant improvement | Maintenance cycle |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ice-pick | 5–8 sessions | After session 3 | After session 6 | Every 6–12 months |
| Rolling | 4–6 sessions | After sessions 1–2 | After Session 4 | Every 8–12 months |
| Boxcar | 4–6 sessions | After session 2 | After session 5 | Every 6–12 months |
| Mixed type | 6–10 sessions | After session 3 | After Session 8 | Every 6 months, long-term |
Clinical note: Collagen rebuilds slowly, so your skin keeps improving for 3–6 months after the series ends. Raising the energy to rush results is the leading cause of PIH and barrier damage. Among our patients who complete the full 12-month protocol, smoothness improvement typically reaches 50–70%.
Who is a good candidate for acne scar treatment?
You may be a good candidate if your acne has been stable for 6+ months and your scars show texture under side light.
✅ You may be ready if:
- ✓ Your acne has been stable for 6+ months, with no active inflammation
- ✓ Your scars show texture under side lighting
- ✓ You are over 25: above this age, collagen repair needs outside help
- ✓ You had fractional laser before, without the results you wanted
- ✓ You can commit to a 6–12 month structured plan
- ✓ You can follow strict sun protection and home aftercare
❌ You may need to wait if:
- ✗ You have active moderate-to-severe acne
- ✗ You took oral isotretinoin (Accutane, an acne medicine) in the past 6 months
- ✗ You are pregnant or breastfeeding
- ✗ You have a history of severe keloids (thick, raised scars) or easy scarring that has not been checked
- ✗ You had strong sun exposure in the past 4 weeks, or a sunburn that has not healed
- ✗ You expect fully smooth skin after 1–2 sessions (a misconception)
How much does acne scar treatment cost?
The cost to treat acne scars in Toronto depends on your scar types, how many sessions you need and which treatments your plan combines. Most people need a course, so you get one price for your full plan, not per visit. Dr. Xu gives you a personal quote at your free 30-minute consultation.
Prices vary widely between clinics, and price is never just about the device. It also reflects who checks your skin, who sets the pace of treatment and how much clinical experience goes into your plan.
Acne scars are one of the most complex areas in aesthetic medicine. Several types often appear together, they react strongly to energy settings, and some need repair after earlier treatments. Dr. Xu checks your scar types and designs your plan, and the price reflects this medical expertise.
Dr. Dan Xu and our team perform each treatment. For stable clients who only need maintenance, our trained medical team follows the plan Dr. Xu designed, with more flexible options. Your scar types, not price, decide which plan suits you.
- Accepts VISA / Mastercard / Amex / Debit / E-transfer
- Affirm / PayBright financing available (on select treatment packages)
- Private insurance: certain EHB plans may reimburse consultation fees — inquire case by case
- OHIP does not cover cosmetic procedures
- All first-time clients get a free 30-minute consultation and assessment
What are the side effects and risks of acne scar treatment?
The most common side effects are a pricking feeling during treatment and 3–7 days of redness, swelling or oozing. For Asian skin, the main risk is PIH (dark marks), which careful settings keep low.
