Acne Scar Treatment — ScarAway™ by Doctor
Acne scars are not all the same. Rolling scars, boxcar scars and ice-pick scars may affect different layers of the skin, which is why one treatment is not suitable for every face.
ScarAway™ by Doctor is Aglow Clinic’s doctor-led acne scar treatment programme for individuals who want a personalised plan based on scar type, scar depth, skin condition and realistic treatment goals.
Instead of recommending one standard laser package, we assess your scars first and discuss an appropriate treatment direction. Depending on your individual assessment, your plan may include Pico Laser, CO Laser, subcision, PRP, microneedling or other suitable modalities.

Why Acne Scar Treatment Needs a Personalised Plan
Acne scars can form when inflammation affects collagen during the healing process. Some scars are shallow and uneven, while others are tethered below the skin or more deeply defined. Treating every acne scar with the same laser or facial may not address the underlying structure of the scar.
| Scar Type | How It May Appear | What the Doctor May Assess |
|---|---|---|
| Rolling Scars | Broad, wave-like depressions that create uneven skin texture | Whether fibrous bands beneath the skin are tethering the scar |
| Boxcar Scars | Wider depressions with defined edges | Scar depth, width and suitable resurfacing approach |
| Ice-Pick Scars | Narrow and deeper-looking scars | Whether a targeted treatment approach may be appropriate |
| Post-Acne Marks | Brown, red-brown or uneven marks after acne | Whether pigmentation management is needed alongside scar treatment |
What Is ScarAway™ by Doctor?
ScarAway™ by Doctor is a structured acne scar treatment programme designed around your individual scar profile. Your doctor evaluates scar type, scar depth, skin tolerance and healing response before recommending a personalised treatment plan.
The aim is progressive improvement in the appearance of acne scars and skin texture. Results vary according to scar severity, treatment consistency, individual healing and aftercare.
Treatment Modalities That May Be Considered
Not every patient needs every modality. Treatments are selected only when they are appropriate for your condition and treatment plan.
Pico Laser
Pico Laser may be considered for selected post-acne marks, uneven skin tone and skin texture concerns. It uses ultra-short laser pulses to target pigment particles and support collagen stimulation.

CO Laser
CO Laser may be considered for selected textural acne scars. It is a resurfacing approach that may support skin renewal and progressive texture improvement.
Subcision
Subcision may be considered when acne scars appear tethered below the skin, especially for selected rolling scars. Your doctor will assess whether this approach is suitable.
PRP
PRP may be included in selected treatment plans to support the skin’s recovery process, depending on your individual assessment.
Microneedling, TCA Cross or Chemical Peel
Depending on scar type and skin tolerance, your doctor may discuss additional options such as microneedling, TCA Cross or a suitable chemical peel as part of a personalised treatment direction.
Your ScarAway™ Treatment Journey
1. Medical Consultation and Scar Assessment
Your doctor assesses your scar type, scar depth, active acne status, skin sensitivity and treatment expectations.
2. Identify the Right Treatment Direction
Your treatment plan is selected according to your individual scar profile. This means the recommendation may differ from another patient’s plan.
3. Treatment and Comfort Preparation
The treatment process, preparation, possible downtime and aftercare are explained before you proceed. Comfort measures may be used where clinically appropriate.
4. Aftercare and Progress Review
You receive aftercare guidance and follow-up recommendations. Scar improvement is progressive, so treatment plans may be reviewed as your skin responds.
Who May Be Suitable for ScarAway™?
- Adults with rolling, boxcar or ice-pick acne scars
- Individuals with uneven texture or depressed facial scars
- Those who have not achieved the desired improvement from skincare alone
- People who prefer a doctor-led assessment before choosing a treatment
- Individuals with realistic expectations about progressive improvement
A consultation is needed to determine suitability. Individuals with active skin infections, open wounds, certain health conditions or unrealistic expectations may need to postpone or reconsider treatment.
When Should I Treat Active Acne First?
If you still have frequent inflamed breakouts, your doctor may advise focusing on acne management before beginning a scar-focused plan. Controlling active acne can help reduce new inflammation and lower the risk of further scarring.

- 8–12 weeks: Collagen remodelling may continue after treatment
- Multiple sessions: May be recommended depending on scar severity and goals

Frequently Asked Questions
Can acne scars be completely removed?
Complete removal cannot be guaranteed. The aim of treatment is progressive improvement in scar appearance, skin texture and confidence, based on your individual scar condition.
How many acne scar treatment sessions will I need?
It depends on scar type, scar depth, skin response and treatment goals. Your doctor will recommend an appropriate plan after assessment.
Is there downtime after acne scar treatment?
Downtime varies depending on the procedure used. Your doctor will explain expected recovery time, aftercare and social downtime before treatment.
Can I do acne scar treatment if I still have acne?
It depends on your current condition. When active acne is significant, your doctor may first recommend an acne-management plan before focusing on scars.
How do I know which scar treatment is right for me?
The best approach depends on your scar type, scar depth, skin condition and goals. A doctor-led consultation helps determine whether one treatment or a combination plan may be appropriate.
