Acne scars can be a painful reminder of past breakouts — long after the acne itself has healed. Many people in Dubai struggle with scars that affect not only their skin but also their self-confidence. If you’ve tried creams or home remedies without success, you’re not alone. The good news is that modern dermatology now offers safe and effective treatments to smooth, rejuvenate, and restore your skin’s natural glow.
At Dr. Rami Hamed Center (DRHC) in Dubai, our dermatology specialists provide advanced acne scar treatments — including laser therapy, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), and microneedling — tailored to your unique skin type and needs.
Acne scars develop when inflammation damages the deeper layers of the skin during healing. Factors like genetics, the type of acne (such as cystic acne), and improper handling (like squeezing pimples) increase the likelihood of scarring.
Common types of acne scars include:
While these scars can be difficult to treat with topical products alone, professional dermatological care can significantly improve their appearance — often restoring smoother, more even-toned skin.
Laser therapy is one of the most advanced and effective methods for treating acne scars. It works by using controlled laser energy to remove damaged skin layers and stimulate collagen production in deeper layers. This natural collagen regeneration helps smooth the skin and reduce the appearance of scars over time.
At DRHC Dubai, dermatologists use FDA-approved laser systems that are safe for all skin types, including darker tones commonly found in the UAE.
Benefits of Laser Acne Scar Treatment:
Most patients require multiple sessions for optimal results, depending on scar depth and skin response.
Known as the “natural skin rejuvenator,” PRP therapy uses your body’s own platelets to heal and regenerate damaged tissue. A small amount of blood is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets, which are then injected into the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production.
When used for acne scars, PRP helps improve skin texture, firmness, and overall tone — especially when combined with microneedling.
At DRHC Dubai, PRP treatments are performed under sterile conditions using advanced technology for maximum safety and effectiveness.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses tiny, controlled needles to create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-channels trigger the body’s natural healing response, producing new collagen and elastin to repair damaged tissue.
This treatment is especially effective for rolling and shallow acne scars. When combined with PRP (known as “Vampire Facial”), the results are even more remarkable.
Microneedling sessions at DRHC Dubai are customized based on your skin condition and comfort level, ensuring visible improvement with minimal downtime.
Often, the most effective acne scar treatment involves combining techniques. For example, dermatologists may use laser therapy to resurface the skin, followed by PRP or microneedling to boost collagen production and accelerate healing.
At DRHC Dubai, your dermatologist will carefully evaluate your skin and recommend a personalized combination plan to achieve optimal, long-lasting results.
