Acne Scar Treatment
in Islamabad
Personalised collagen induction protocols — because no two acne scars are the same.
A Protocol Built Around Your Scars
Acne scars are one of the most complex skin concerns to treat — not because treatments don't exist, but because the wrong treatment for your scar type will deliver disappointing results. At Elore Aesthetics in Islamabad, we start with a detailed scar assessment before recommending anything.
Our primary treatment protocol combines precision Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy) with optional PRP enhancement — a combination that has been clinically validated for atrophic acne scars, is safe for South Asian skin tones, and delivers progressive, natural-looking improvement without surgical risk or extended downtime.
Understanding Your Scar Type
The right treatment depends entirely on classifying your scars correctly. Here is what we assess at your consultation.
Rolling Scars
Mild – ModerateBroad, shallow depressions with sloping edges that create an uneven, wave-like skin surface. Caused by fibrous tissue bands tethering the skin downward.
Respond exceptionally well to Microneedling — the controlled collagen induction releases tethered tissue and fills the depression progressively.
Boxcar Scars
Moderate – SevereRound or oval depressions with sharply defined, steep vertical edges. Caused by localised collagen destruction during deep inflammatory acne.
Targeted deep-pass Microneedling with growth factor serum infusion remodels the walls and base of each scar over successive sessions.
Ice Pick Scars
SevereNarrow, deep V-shaped channels extending into the dermis. The most challenging scar type — typically seen after cystic acne on cheeks and nose.
Combination Microneedling with PRP and targeted serum infusion improves appearance progressively; deeper scars may benefit from additional sessions.
Post-Inflammatory Marks
Mild – ModerateFlat areas of hyperpigmentation or redness that remain after active acne resolves. Not true scars, but often the most visible concern for South Asian skin.
Microneedling with vitamin C and brightening serum infusion significantly accelerates clearance of post-inflammatory marks within 2–4 sessions.

Collagen induction restructures scar tissue at a dermal level — not just surface camouflage

The Treatment Process
Scar Mapping & Protocol Design
A detailed clinical assessment classifies your specific scar types, depth, distribution, and skin tone. We design a personalised treatment protocol — needle depth, pass count, serum selection, and whether PRP combination is recommended for your case.
Skin Preparation
The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove all products and oils. A pharmaceutical-grade topical anaesthetic cream is applied for 20–30 minutes to ensure a completely comfortable, pain-free treatment session.
Treatment Protocol
A medical-grade microneedling device creates thousands of calibrated micro-channels across the scar zones. If PRP is included, concentrated growth factors are infused through the open channels immediately — maximising the collagen remodelling signal.
Recovery & Progress Tracking
Post-treatment care products are applied and a detailed homecare plan provided. We photograph your progress at each session and adjust the protocol as your scars respond — ensuring every session builds meaningfully on the last.
What to Expect
Acne scar treatment is a journey, not a single event. Here is an honest, realistic timeline of what you can expect at each stage of your protocol.
Mild redness and warmth — the controlled inflammatory response that begins your collagen cascade
Redness subsides, skin may feel slightly tight as repair processes accelerate beneath the surface
Skin texture feels smoother, post-inflammatory marks begin to lighten noticeably
Visible improvement in scar depth; rolling and boxcar scars begin to fill and soften
Significant scar reduction, refined texture, more even tone — results that continue improving for months after your final session
Who Is This Right For?
Our acne scar protocol is suitable for a wide range of clients. A complimentary consultation confirms your candidacy and helps us design the right protocol for your scar type and skin tone.
Assess Your Eligibility
Aftercare & Recovery
- 1Do not apply any products or wash the skin for 4 hours after treatment — let the micro-channels seal naturally
- 2Apply SPF 50+ every morning without exception — your skin is photosensitive for 7–10 days post-treatment
- 3Avoid retinol, AHAs, BHAs, and all active ingredients for 5–7 days — use only the gentle products we recommend
- 4Do not pick, scratch, or attempt to exfoliate any flaking — shedding is part of the remodelling process
- 5Skip heat, steam, pools, and strenuous exercise for 48 hours — excess heat prolongs redness unnecessarily
