Acne Scar Treatment in Penang | CANVAS Medical Clinic
Acne scars aren't all the same — and neither is their treatment. Physician-led acne scar plans at our Gurney Walk clinic in George Town match each scar type to the right tool: RF microneedling, laser resurfacing, subcision and regenerative boosters, combined and staged for real, lasting improvement.
What is Acne Scar Treatment?
Atrophic acne scars come in types — rolling (broad, shallow depressions), boxcar (sharp-edged), ice-pick (narrow and deep) — often mixed on the same face, and frequently accompanied by post-inflammatory pigmentation. Each type responds best to a different tool, which is why single-treatment approaches so often disappoint: no one device addresses every scar.
At CANVAS Medical Clinic in George Town, Penang, acne scarring is treated as the multi-tool problem it is. After classifying your scars, our physicians combine and stage the right treatments — EXION Microneedling RF and laser resurfacing to remodel, subcision to release tethered scars, and Rejuran or other boosters to support healing — over a realistic course.
How it works
- Scar classification. Your physician identifies your scar types — rolling, boxcar, ice-pick, mixed — and any pigmentation, because each needs a different tool.
- Staged combination plan. The right treatments are sequenced: RF microneedling, laser, subcision and boosters, matched to your scars.
- Treatment course. Modalities are delivered over a course, each with its own short recovery, remodelling the skin progressively.
- Review & refine. Progress is reviewed over months and the plan refined as scars improve.
Benefits
Right tool per scar
Matching modality to scar type is what makes improvement real.

Boosters aid healing and skin quality alongside remodelling.
Addresses pigment too
Post-acne marks are treated within the same plan.
Physician-staged
A medical programme, honestly paced over months.
Who it's for
Acne Scar Treatment may be suitable if you:
- Have depressed (atrophic) acne scars — rolling, boxcar or ice-pick
- Have tried single treatments without satisfying results
- Have mixed scar types needing more than one tool
- Also have post-acne marks or pigmentation
- Want a diagnosis-led, staged plan over a quick fix
- Have realistic expectations for gradual improvement
Active acne is settled before scar remodelling begins. Acne scarring improves substantially with the right combined plan but rarely resolves completely or in a single session; deep ice-pick scars in particular can be stubborn. Realistic expectations are set honestly at consultation. Suitability is always confirmed at consultation.
Why one treatment rarely fixes acne scars
The most common reason acne-scar treatment disappoints is a single tool used on mixed scars. Resurfacing smooths sharp-edged boxcar scars but won't lift a tethered rolling scar; subcision releases rolling scars but won't resurface texture; ice-pick scars often need focal treatment of their own. Real improvement comes from combining tools, matched to scar type and staged over time.
That is exactly how CANVAS approaches it — RF microneedling, laser, subcision and regenerative boosters in a physician-led plan — and why we are honest that scars are improved substantially rather than erased.
