As most acne scar sufferers have a mixture of scars and rarely just one type of scar, acne scar removal works best with a combination treatment approach tailored to each acne scar type. Some acne scars only require laser treatments or energy device resurfacing, while other scars may require paired treatments with subcision or injectables. Run of the mill and mass market acne scar treatments will give average results at best, and we frequently see patients who have been through multiple treatment sessions from such mass market acne scar treatments that yield no results at all! Remember that many treatment centres in Singapore will tell you that scars can only be reduced and not removed. This is normally due to limits in treatment equipment, knowledge and technical skills.
The synergistic combinations of acne scar treatments and the timings between the various acne scar removal combinations are a carefully developed clinical science which is precisely tailored for each individual with respect to both their scar type and skin type.

At Veritas Medical Aesthetics in Singapore, acne scar treatments are kicked off with a consultation and assessment of your skin and scar type with an experienced doctor. Instead of repeating a single Pico Laser or Fractional Laser at every session which tend to yield minimal results, multiple ablative and non-ablative lasers from a comprehensive 18 medical-grade laser collection are selected, depending on the patient’s condition and progress at each session (we invest in 6 different lasers just for Fractional Lasers alone)! This allows us to tailor acne scar treatments to each patient’s unique condition to achieve optimal results.
Our in-house laser protocols are developed by Dr Chua Cheng Yu, the official trainer for Fotona lasers and Pro yellow laser in Singapore. These are a tailored combination of lasers that provide a no-downtime treatment for pigmentation and blemishes and minimal downtime for deep acne scars conditions. The acne scar treatment protocols also have the added benefit of treating active acne concurrently, fading acne marks and prevent acne from recurring.
