Acne Scar Treatment (Skin Boosters)

Treatment Overview

Acne scars form when inflammation damages collagen in the deeper layers of the skin. While creams and facials can help with mild marks, skin boosters are one of the most effective ways to repair acne scars from within.

At Verve Clinic PJ, we use advanced collagen-stimulating skin boosters such as Juvelook, Plinest, Profhilo, exosomes, and Electri to gradually rebuild lost collagen, lift depressed scars, and improve overall skin texture.

These injectables don’t just mask scars — they trigger your skin to heal itself naturally, making them ideal for long-lasting, natural scar improvement.

Key benefits

Reduces depressed scars (rolling, shallow boxcar, atrophic scars)

Stimulates new collagen and elastin production

Improves skin texture, thickness, and firmness

Smooths fine lines and enlarged pores often seen after acne

Restores skin elasticity and resilience

Natural, progressive results

Minimal downtime

how it works

Skin boosters such as Juvelook (HA + PDLLA), Plinest (PN-HPT polynucleotides), Skinvive, and Profhilo (HA) are injected directly into the dermis beneath scars.

These substances act as biostimulators, encouraging fibroblasts to produce new collagen and remodel damaged tissue.

Over time, the treated skin becomes thicker, firmer, and smoother, gradually lifting depressed scars and improving overall quality.

Since collagen regeneration is a natural process, results appear progressively over weeks to months and can last 9–12 months depending on the product used.

Treatment Process

Consultation & Assessment – Our doctor will examine your acne scar type (rolling, boxcar, ice pick) and design a customized plan.

Preparation – Numbing cream is applied for comfort.

Injection – The chosen skin booster is delivered around scars.

Mask Application – A soothing mask is applied for 15–20 minutes to calm redness and enhance recovery.

Aftercare – Mild swelling or redness may occur but usually subsides within 24–48 hours. Sun protection and proper skincare are recommended.

Who Can Benefit

Acne scars form when inflammation destroys collagen in the deeper skin. Collagen-building boosters, mainly Juvelook (HA + PDLLA) and Plinest (polynucleotides), are placed beneath the scars to prompt new collagen, so the skin gradually thickens and shallow scars lift.

Shallow rolling scars and soft, depressed scars
Thin or uneven skin texture after acne
Patients who also have enlarged pores or early fine lines
Patients who want gradual improvement with little downtime

Deep ice-pick and boxcar scars need TCA CROSS, subcision, Matrix RF microneedling or laser as well, and boosters work best alongside them. Boosters also help with red or brown acne marks.

We postpone treatment during pregnancy and breastfeeding, with an active infection in the treatment area, or with a known allergy to any ingredient.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which booster is used for acne scars?

We choose the booster after examining your scar type and skin quality, and sometimes combine more than one type.

Can skin boosters remove acne scars completely?

No. They soften scars and improve texture by rebuilding collagen. Deeper scars usually need a combination of treatments.

How many sessions will I need?

Usually 3 to 5, spaced about 4 weeks apart, depending on how deep and widespread the scars are.

When will I see results?

Skin often looks more hydrated within a week. Scar improvement builds gradually over 1 to 3 months as new collagen forms.

How long do results last?

Typically 9 to 12 months after a full course, depending on the booster used.

Is there downtime?

Small bumps at the injection points usually settle within 24 to 48 hours. Mild bruising is possible and fades within a few days.

Can I combine boosters with laser?

Yes, and it often gives a better result. PicoWay fades marks and Matrix RF microneedling or fractional CO₂ resurfaces texture. We plan the order and spacing at your consultation.

Skin boosters also treat other skin concerns. See the full overview on our Skin Boosters page.
