Sozo's Acne Scar Treatment in Singapore
Discover effective acne scar treatments tailored to various skin conditions. With expertise as an aesthetic practitioner, Dr. Boey has successfully treated over 2,000 cases since 2018, focusing on acne scar treatments in Singapore for both men and women.
At Sozo Clinic, we offer a customised approach that addresses your unique skin type and acne scar conditions using clinically proven treatments approved by the FDA and HSA. Our focus is on both effectiveness and safety in acne scar treatments.
Here are four effective acne scar treatments we offer:
Lasers
Radiofrequency microneedling
Chemical peel
Subcision and Dermal Fillers
Your comfort is our priority. We use numbing creams and anaesthetic injections to minimise pain during procedures. While our recommended treatments typically involve minimal downtime, results may vary based on individual skin types, conditions, and severity.
Laser Treatment for Acne Scars
Laser treatments reduce the appearance of acne scars, enhance skin texture, and rejuvenate overall skin health. These treatments smooth rolling scars and stimulate collagen production, contributing to skin firmness and a more youthful look. Our laser technology accurately targets affected areas while preserving surrounding skin, ensuring focused treatment.
This minimally invasive approach offers quick recovery and minimal discomfort, making it accessible for most individuals. It also even skin tone and reduces pigmentation irregularities associated with acne scars. While suitable for various skin types and ages, individuals with darker skin tones should consider the potential risk of hyperpigmentation.
Edge One Fractional CO2 Laser
The Edge One Fractional CO2 Laser targets various skin issues, particularly deep acne scars like rolling and boxcar types. This treatment reduces the visibility of these scars and smooths skin texture by stimulating collagen and elastin production. Ideal for individuals with moderate to severe scarring, the laser may require multiple sessions to effectively improve skin condition and minimise pore size for a clearer, more refined complexion.
Cost:
The cost is around $450 per session, varying based on the extent of the area being treated and the severity of the acne scars.
Lutronic Fractional PicoPlus Laser
The Lutronic Fractional PicoPlus Laser effectively reduces the appearance of acne scars, such as rolling, boxcars, and ice-pick scars, while supporting collagen production to enhance skin elasticity and firmness. It is designed for precision and minimises heat damage, improving skin tone and texture with minimal downtime. This makes the PicoPlus Laser suitable for patients with different degrees of acne scarring, including those with sensitive skin, allowing for a quick return to daily activities.
Cost:
- The cost is around $450 per session, depending on the severity of the scarring and the area treated.
Pulse dye Lasers
Pulse Dye Lasers (PDL) use selective photothermolysis to target and reduce the redness and discolouration of acne scars by emitting light around 585 to 595 nanometers, aligning with the absorption spectrum of haemoglobin. This method effectively treats hypertrophic and keloid scars and post-inflammatory erythema with minimal discomfort, making it suitable for sensitive skin. The short pulses of laser energy coagulate blood vessels to reduce vascular lesions like spider veins and stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and firmness with minimal impact on surrounding tissues.
Cost:
The cost ranges from $250 to $400 per session, depending on the extent of the area being treated and the severity of the scarring.
INFINI Fractional Microneedling Radiofrequency
INFINI Fractional Microneedling Radiofrequency is a contemporary treatment offered at Sozo Aesthetic Clinic, tailored to effectively address acne scars and improve skin texture. This procedure combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to enhance treatment outcomes. It effectively treats various scar types, including rolling, boxcars, and ice-pick scars, by targeting them at multiple depths.
The treatment promotes collagen production deep within the skin, contributing to increased firmness, reduced appearance of fine lines, and improved texture. The adjustable depth of the microneedles allows for customised treatment plans, ensuring precise targeting of scarred areas while protecting the surrounding skin. Additionally, the procedure is minimally invasive with minimal downtime, enabling patients to resume their usual activities shortly afterwards. Continually stimulating collagen and elastin production promotes sustained improvements in skin quality over time.
This treatment is ideal for patients with moderate to severe acne scarring, benefiting those seeking acne scar reduction and overall skin rejuvenation.
Cost:
INFINI costs around $850/session. 3 to 5 sessions are normally recommended.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels at Sozo Aesthetic Clinic are designed to improve skin texture and appearance by removing damaged outer layers. This treatment is particularly effective for red acne scars and other skin imperfections. By exfoliating and renewing the skin’s surface, chemical peels reduce the visibility of superficial scars like minor rolling and boxcar scars. They also remove dead skin cells, resulting in a smoother, more uniform skin tone and correcting pigmentation irregularities.
The peels stimulate collagen production, enhancing skin firmness and elasticity for more noticeable improvements. The treatment is customisable, with the depth and strength of the peel adjusted to individual needs for optimal outcomes. Most chemical peels involve minimal downtime, allowing quick resumption of daily activities. This treatment is versatile, suitable for various skin sensitivities, and beneficial for brightening their complexion and achieving a more even skin tone.
Trichloroacetic Acid Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars (TCA Cross)
The Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) Cross procedure targets deep, narrow acne scars like ice-pick and selected boxcar scars by enhancing collagen production and promoting skin remodelling. This precise method treats only the affected areas, minimising the impact on surrounding healthy skin, and is suitable for scars resistant to other treatments. With minimal discomfort and downtime, it allows patients to quickly resume daily activities, making it ideal for those seeking significant improvements in skin texture and those who have not seen results from more superficial treatments for the acne scars.
Cost:
This treatment costs $300 per session, depending on the size and severity of the scars and the extent of the area being treated.
Subcision with Dermal Fillers
Subcision with dermal fillers help improve the appearance of severe acne scars by manually breaking up fibrous scar tissue beneath the skin and filling the resulting gaps to create a smoother surface. This technique is particularly beneficial for rolling and depressed scars as it releases the fibrous bands, causing skin indentations. Adding dermal fillers restores volume and smoothness immediately, enhancing the skin texture and promoting a more uniform appearance.
The treatment offers long-lasting results by stimulating ongoing collagen production and improving skin quality. It is a customisable procedure tailored to target individual scars effectively, allowing for a personalised treatment plan. Patients can resume their usual activities with minimal downtime shortly after the procedure. This method is ideal for those seeking immediate and progressive improvements in scar treatment, especially if less invasive treatments have not been satisfactory.
The types of acne scars that can be targeted with subcision and fillers include rolling, box-car scars and some forms of ice-pick scars.
Restylane
Restylane dermal fillers are designed to restore facial volume, effectively filling depressed acne scars and enhancing facial contours. The treatment, which uses hyaluronic acid to improve skin hydration and elasticity, offers immediate skin texture improvements and can last 6 to 18 months, depending on individual factors. With minimal downtime, Restylane is ideal for those with rolling and boxcar scars and anyone seeking to smooth fine lines and rejuvenate their appearance, making it a versatile choice for various aesthetic needs.
Cost:
The cost ranges from $800 – $1000 per syringe, depending on the type and amount of filler used and the treatment area.
Juvederm
Juvederm dermal fillers smooth out rolling scars, fill depressed areas, and promote collagen production, enhancing skin texture and resilience. Juvederm improves skin hydration and elasticity by containing hyaluronic acid, leading to immediate and noticeable improvements. Effects generally last 9 to 12 months, enhancing facial contours for a youthful appearance. This versatile treatment is ideal for those seeking comprehensive facial rejuvenation and effectively improves skin texture and refining facial contours.
Cost:
The cost ranges from $800 – $1000 per syringe, depending on the type and amount of filler used and the treatment area.
Rejuran S
Rejuran S stimulates skin cell regeneration, enhancing texture and reducing the visibility of rolling scars through natural healing while boosting collagen production for increased elasticity and a firmer appearance. It also improves skin hydration, resulting in a plumper complexion with minimal downtime, allowing a quick return to daily activities. Ideal for individuals with depressed acne scars, Rejuran S is effective for those looking to enhance skin health, elasticity, and hydration.
Cost:
The cost is around $500 per session, depending on the severity of the scars and the extent of the area being treated.
EndyMed Nano-Fractional Radiofrequency
EndyMed Nano-Fractional Radiofrequency is a non-invasive skin treatment that targets acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles by combining micro-resurfacing and dermal heating. This dual action refines the skin’s surface and stimulates deep collagen production, enhancing skin texture and elasticity while significantly reducing the appearance of various scar types, including rolling, boxcars, and ice-pick scars.
The procedure is comfortable, with minimal discomfort, allowing patients to quickly resume daily activities with little downtime. It is ideal for individuals seeking to progressively improve skin texture and scar appearance, offering long-lasting effects. This treatment is particularly suited for those looking for a gradual yet effective improvement in their skin’s condition.

At Sozo Aesthetic Clinic, we provide effective treatments for various acne lesions, acne scars and acne marks, utilising various techniques to meet individual needs. Our specialists combine their knowledge with various treatments to address acne scars, including dermal fillers, radiofrequency, and laser therapies.
Our acne scar treatment plans are customised for each patient, ensuring that specific scar types and skin conditions are appropriately targeted. This approach helps us manage a broad range of acne scars, from mild to severe. Mild acne scars deserve as much attention as severe acne scarring and hypertrophic scars. Treating acne scars and acne scar laser treatment is never a “one size fits all” plan.
Patient care is our priority, and we maintain rigorous safety standards while continually refining our techniques to keep pace with developments in the field.

Sozo 360º Acne Scar Treatments – Precise & Personalised
We believe in accurate and personalised acne scar treatment for your skin condition. With a comprehensive suite of over eight treatments, I utilise a customised combination of technologies to ensure optimal results. Often, I combine up to three types of treatments in a single session to achieve effective outcomes.
1. The meticulous approach requires a dedicated doctor.
The 360° Approach to Acne Scars is time-consuming, covering everything from consultation to treatment and recovery.
Consultation:
A detailed consultation to understand your goals, lifestyle, and preferences.
Scar Assessment:
Scars need to be palpated, not just seen. Manual palpation is necessary to determine the depth of the scars.
Treatment:
Lasers are generally quicker than subcision, yet I spend over three times longer on subcision than Fractional CO2/Erbium Laser. INFINI Fractional Micro-Needling is the only energy-based device that takes as long as subcision because it requires multiple passes at different depths. Regenerative healing compounds like Rejuran S are also manually injected in micro-droplets.
2. Significant investment in acne scar lasers/technology.
Most clinics have only 1-2 types of lasers. An Acne Scar clinic must have modern lasers, peels, and fillers for acne scar treatment. This technology is costly, and only specialised clinics can offer the full range and type of acne scar treatments.
Types of Acne Scars Sozo Clinic Treat in Singapore
Rolling Scars:
These scars are wave-like, creating a rolling or undulating effect on the skin’s surface.
Ice Pick Scars
Deep, narrow scars resembling small holes or the skin surface being punctured by an ice pick.
Boxcar Scars
Broad, box-like depressions with sharply defined edges.
Hypertrophic Scars
Raised, firm scars that develop above the skin surface, often reddish.
