Why Some People Heal Completely While Others See No Results — Expert Insights from BAC Clinic Bangkok
Understanding Acne Scars
Acne scars are not just surface imperfections — they are structural damage beneath the skin caused by inflammation and collagen loss after acne heals.
When the skin tries to repair itself, fibrotic bands (scar tissue) form beneath the surface, pulling the skin downward and creating depressions.
There are three main types of acne scars:
- Rolling scars: Shallow, wave-like indentations caused by fibrotic tethers under the skin.
- Boxcar scars: Sharper-edged depressions, usually on the cheeks or temples.
- Icepick scars: Narrow, deep holes that extend into the dermis.
Each type requires a different treatment approach, and no single laser or cream can treat all kinds of scars effectively.
Can Acne Scars Be Completely Treated?
The answer is yes — in most cases, significant and long-lasting improvement is possible, but it requires the right combination of techniques and consistent care.
Because acne scars involve both surface and structural damage, treatment must target two levels:
- Releasing the fibrotic bands, and
- Stimulating new collagen production.
If only one of these is done — for example, using lasers without releasing scar tissue — results are often temporary or minimal.
Why Some People Improve, and Others Get Worse
🔹 1. Treating the Wrong Layer of the Skin
Many patients undergo multiple laser sessions (such as CO₂ or Pico) but still see no improvement because the fibrotic bands underneath remain intact.
Without releasing those tethers, the laser energy cannot penetrate deeply enough to lift the depressed scars.
The most effective approach is to combine Subcision with collagen stimulation (Infini RF and/or Juvelook) in the same session — not separately.
This dual action allows the scar tissue to be freed and the skin to regenerate simultaneously.
🔹 2. Poor Understanding of the Skin’s Healing Cycle
Collagen regeneration takes time. After a proper Subcision + Infini RF session, the body continues producing collagen for 3–6 months.
Doing treatments too close together or switching methods too soon can interrupt this natural rebuilding process and lead to poor or uneven results.
🔹 3. Incorrect Aftercare
Newly treated skin is sensitive. Inadequate sun protection, harsh exfoliation, or skipping moisturizers can slow collagen formation and lead to redness or pigmentation.
Proper post-treatment care is as important as the procedure itself.
The BAC Clinic Approach: Combination Therapy for Lasting Results
At BAC Clinic Bangkok, our doctors specialize in personalized acne scar treatment plans that combine multiple techniques in one session to maximize results while minimizing downtime.
🔸 1. Infini RF Microneedling
A fractional radiofrequency device that delivers heat energy deep into the dermis via fine needles, stimulating collagen remodeling and tightening the skin.
It’s especially effective for rolling and boxcar scars.
💰 Price:
- 9,900 THB per session
- 3 sessions for 22,500 THB
- 5 sessions for 34,900 THB
🎁 Includes meso scar serum, anesthesia, aftercare cream, and light therapy.
🔸 2. Subcision (Scar Tissue Release)
A micro-surgical technique using a fine needle to cut the fibrotic bands that pull the skin downward.
At BAC, Subcision is done together with Infini RF in the same session — this is crucial because once the bands are released, collagen stimulation must begin immediately to fill the voids and prevent re-tethering.
💰 Add-on Price: +1,500 THB (full face)
🔸 3. Juvelook (PDLLA + HA Biostimulator)
Juvelook is not a filler, but a biostimulator that combines PDLLA (Poly D-Lactic Acid) and Hyaluronic Acid to trigger collagen synthesis gradually.
It enhances Subcision results, smooths skin texture, and restores elasticity.
💰 Price: 14,900 THB per vial (6cc)
📆 Recommended every 2–3 months.
🔸 4. TCA CROSS (Chemical Reconstruction for Deep Scars)
A precise acid-based technique to rebuild collagen within deep icepick scars.
💰 Price: 500–1,990 THB depending on the number of scars.
Expected Results and Downtime
- Treatments are spaced every 3–4 weeks.
- Visible improvement after 1–2 sessions, and dramatic results after 3–5 sessions.
- Minimal downtime: Most patients return to work within 48 hours.
- Collagen continues to rebuild for up to 12–18 months.
