Our Approach to Treating Acne Scars

What Is an Acne Scar?

To fully understand how acne scars form, it’s important to first understand what acne is. Acne is a skin condition that can be classified into four stages. In stage 1, breakouts are minimal and limited to a few small pimples. In contrast, stage 4 is characterized by widespread inflammation and numerous deep lesions across affected areas.

While acne is not dangerous to physical health, the intensity and frequency of breakouts can cause lasting damage to the skin. When an acne lesion heals, it can leave behind a depression — a wound that the body attempts to repair. The deeper and more inflamed the lesion, the higher the risk of permanent scarring.

These scars can have a significant impact on self-esteem and emotional well-being, often becoming more distressing than the acne itself.

Types of Acne Scars

• Ice-pick scars: these are deep and narrow scars who hold a V shape.
• Round scars: superficial or deep scars with a rounded or oval appearance.
• Square scars: the shape of the edges of the scars are similar to that of a square.
• Hypertrophic scars: thick and lumpy scars with an outward shape.
• Atrophic scars: very deep scars, similar to a crater.
• Red inflammatory scars: smooth red scars.

Our Approach

Infinium Clinic is one of the only clinics in Canada that specializes in the comprehensive treatment of all types of acne scars. Many of our clients come to us after receiving disappointing results from other clinics — often after being sold laser packages or devices that failed to address the root of the problem. We frequently hear, “I had a CO2 laser, but it didn’t work.”

Why? Because treating acne scars effectively requires more than a single device or technique. Acne scarring is complex — boxcar scars, ice pick scars, rolling scars, and deep tethered scars can all appear on the same face. These require a multi-dimensional approach during the same session to truly repair the skin’s structure.

Acne scar revision is not a superficial skin treatment for glow or texture — it is a reconstructive procedure. The goal is not just to tighten collagen or enhance brightness, but to physically reshape collagen at a structural level so that the new scar is smoother and more natural than the original.

Devices that only stimulate surface collagen (like lasers or radiofrequency used alone) may improve texture, but they do not rebuild or release scar tissue. Microneedling is also widely misunderstood — it creates micro-injuries, but the skin simply closes over the same defect without remodeling the scar. In the case of boxcar scars, where tissue is missing at the surface, the question becomes: how do we rebuild that missing tissue? Or how do we release scars so they stay detached?

This is where our experience makes the difference. For over 10 years, Infinium Clinic has refined its acne scar protocols, treating thousands of cases. We’ve invested in over 40 advanced medical and aesthetic technologies, allowing us to select and combine the most effective methods for each scar profile.

Our acne scar protocols often include a combination of the following treatments:

– Subcision
– Minor surgical procedures
– TCA CROSS (Trichloroacetic Acid Chemical Reconstruction of Skin Scars)
– Laser resurfacing
– Fractional laser treatments
– Microneedling
– RF Microneedling (radiofrequency-assisted microneedling)
– Enerjet (jet volumetric remodeling)
– Injectable fillers
– Exosome-based regenerative therapy
– Energy-based subdermal treatments
– Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy
– …and more

The most common and effective technique used in our clinic is surgical subcision. This method breaks the fibrous bands that tether scars beneath the surface, allowing the skin to lift and regenerate more smoothly. Each step of the treatment is tailored to your unique scar type and skin condition. The results are permanent — delivering long-term correction and renewed confidence.

We don’t rely on standard packages or one-size-fits-all protocols. Acne scar repair requires a customized plan, extensive experience, and the ability to combine technologies effectively. Clinics offering only two or three devices often lack the versatility needed to repair deep or complex scarring — resulting in wasted time, money, and discouragement. In fact, 3 out of 4 clients who consult us have already had unsatisfactory treatments elsewhere.

At Clinique Infinium, we specialize in repairing what others could not. Our mission is to provide real, lasting results using the most advanced, proven techniques — because your skin deserves expert care.
