Introduction

Introduction

Acne scar treatment in Poipet is one of the most requested services at DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet. Many clients living, working, or staying in Poipet struggle with acne scars that have been there for months or even years — and many have already tried products, facials, or home treatments without seeing a real difference.

If you are searching for acne scar treatment in Poipet, sẹo rỗ Poipet, bekas jerawat Poipet, skin resurfacing Poipet, CO2 laser Poipet, or RF microneedling Poipet — this article will help you understand what actually works, how treatment is planned at DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet, and what to expect from a realistic treatment course.

Acne scars are not just marks on the surface. In many cases, they are the result of deeper skin damage caused by inflammation. When the skin heals without enough collagen support, the surface becomes uneven, sunken, rough, or textured. This is why acne scar treatment is different from regular acne treatment — and why it needs a structured plan.

Not sure which direction fits your skin?

The same concern can have different causes. Send clear photos to DIVA for an initial, no-pressure assessment before you decide anything.

What Are Acne Scars? / Sẹo rỗ là gì?

Acne scars form when a breakout penetrates deeply into the skin and damages the tissue beneath. As the skin repairs itself, it may not produce the right amount of collagen — resulting in scars that appear sunken (atrophic), raised (hypertrophic), or darkened (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation).

(Tiếng Việt) Sẹo rỗ hình thành khi mụn viêm ăn sâu vào da và làm tổn thương mô bên dưới. Khi da phục hồi không đủ collagen, bề mặt da trở nên lõm, gồ ghề hoặc thâm — tạo thành sẹo.

(Bahasa Indonesia) Bekas jerawat terbentuk ketika peradangan merusak jaringan kulit lebih dalam. Kulit yang sembuh tanpa cukup kolagen akan meninggalkan bekas berupa lubang, tekstur kasar, atau warna gelap.

At DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet, we assess your actual scar type before deciding any treatment. Different scars respond to different methods — choosing the wrong one wastes time and money.

Why Acne Scars Need More Than One Treatment

Many clients who visit DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet come with the expectation that one session of CO2 laser or RF microneedling will remove their scars completely. This is one of the most common misunderstandings about acne scar treatment in Poipet and anywhere else.

Scar remodeling is a biological process. It takes time because the skin needs to build new collagen, restructure damaged tissue, and gradually resurface the area. No single treatment — no matter how advanced — can fully skip this process.

Here is why multiple sessions are needed:

The skin can only tolerate a certain level of treatment at one time

Collagen rebuilding happens gradually — results continue improving weeks after each session

Different layers of the scar may need different approaches across sessions

Some clients also have active acne alongside scars — active acne must be controlled first

Skin sensitivity, recovery ability, and lifestyle all affect how quickly the skin responds

At DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet, we plan acne scar treatment as a program — not a one-time service. Each session is adjusted based on how your skin responds. Most clients need a minimum of 3–5 sessions to see meaningful improvement.

Types of Acne Scars — Which One Do You Have?

Understanding your scar type is important before starting any acne scar treatment in Poipet. Different scar types respond differently to different treatments.

Atrophic (Sunken) Scars — Most Common

Ice Pick Scars — Deep, narrow, sharp-edged pits. Difficult to treat. Respond best to TCA cross and subcision.

Boxcar Scars — Wide, shallow to medium depth with defined edges. Respond well to CO2 laser and RF microneedling.

Rolling Scars — Wavy, uneven surface caused by fibrous tissue pulling the skin down. Respond well to subcision and RF microneedling.

Hypertrophic / Keloid Scars — Raised

Raised scars that form when the skin overproduces collagen. More common on the chest, back, and jawline. Require different treatment — usually combination of injection and laser.

Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) — Dark Marks

Flat dark marks left behind after acne heals. Not true scars — but often confused with scars. Respond well to Pico laser, brightening meso, and chemical peel.

At DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet, we assess your scar type directly at the clinic before recommending any treatment method. We do not recommend CO2 laser or RF microneedling for all scar types — suitability is confirmed first.

Treatment Methods at DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet

DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet offers several acne scar treatment methods. The method chosen depends entirely on your scar type, skin condition, sensitivity, and treatment goal — not on trend or promotion.

CO2 Fractional Laser

CO2 fractional laser is one of the most effective treatments for acne scars in Poipet. It works by creating controlled micro-columns of damage in the skin, triggering the body's healing response to produce new collagen and resurface the skin gradually.

Best for: Boxcar scars, rolling scars, rough texture, skin resurfacing

Recovery time: 3–7 days of redness and peeling

Sessions needed: 3–5 sessions minimum, spaced 4–6 weeks apart

RF Microneedling

RF microneedling delivers radiofrequency energy into the deeper layers of the skin through fine needles. It stimulates collagen production, improves skin texture, tightens pores, and gradually softens scar edges.

Best for: Rolling scars, pores, skin texture, early boxcar scars

Recovery time: 1–3 days of mild redness

Sessions needed: 3–6 sessions, spaced 3–4 weeks apart

Chemical Peel for Acne Scars

Medical-grade chemical peels help resurface the top layers of skin, improve pigmentation, and gradually soften shallow scars. At DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet, peels are selected based on your skin type and scar depth.

Best for: Mild acne scars, post-acne marks, uneven texture

Skinbooster + PRP Support

Skinbooster and PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections support healing, hydration, and collagen stimulation alongside resurfacing treatments. Often combined with CO2 laser or RF microneedling for better recovery and results.

Combined Approach

Most clients at DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet benefit from a combination of methods within the same session or across sessions — for example, CO2 laser + brightening meso, or RF microneedling + skinbooster. The combination is selected by the clinic based on your skin assessment — not by client request.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

There is no fixed number of sessions that aim for acne scar removal. Results depend on your scar type, depth, skin sensitivity, lifestyle, and how consistently you follow aftercare.

At DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet, a typical acne scar program starts with 5 sessions:

Each session is assessed and adjusted based on how your skin responds

Some clients need additional sessions after the initial course

Session spacing: typically 3–6 weeks between sessions depending on method

Clients searching for acne scar treatment results Poipet, how many sessions for acne scars, CO2 laser before and after Poipet — the honest answer is: most clients see visible improvement after 3 sessions, and more significant improvement after completing a full 5-session course.

What to Expect Before and After Treatment

Before Treatment:

Skin assessment and consultation at DIVA Skin Clinic Poipet

No active acne — if acne is still active, it must be controlled first

No retinol or strong active ingredients 5–7 days before treatment

After Treatment (CO2 Laser):

  • Day 1–2: Redness, warmth, swelling — this is normal
  • Day 3–5: Skin begins to peel and flake — do not pick
  • Day 5–7: New skin emerges — skin may look brighter and smoother
  • Week 2–4: Collagen continues building — improvement is progressive
  • Sun protection is mandatory — use SPF 30–50 every day

Aftercare — What You Must Do at Home

Apply sunscreen SPF 30–50 every morning — even when staying indoors

Do not pick, scratch, or peel healing skin

Keep skin hydrated — use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer

Avoid strong active ingredients (retinol, AHA/BHA, vitamin C) until skin is fully healed

Who This Is For — And Who Should Wait

This may suit you if…

  • You have the concern described above and want an honest, realistic plan.
  • You accept that treatment is chosen after assessing your real skin condition.
  • You are willing to follow aftercare and daily sun protection between sessions.

Please wait or tell us first if…

  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding — many device and injectable treatments are postponed.
  • You have an active infection, open wound or heavy inflammation at the treatment area.
  • You had heavy sun exposure recently, or take oral isotretinoin within the advised washout period.
  • You have an uncontrolled systemic condition or a bleeding/clotting disorder.

Suitability is always confirmed in person — this list is general guidance, not a diagnosis.

Safety, Risks & Realistic Limits

No aesthetic treatment is risk-free, and outcomes vary between individuals. On Asian skin the main concern with energy or peel treatments is post-inflammatory pigmentation (PIH) when aftercare or sun protection is neglected. Tell your practitioner about pregnancy, medication, recent sun exposure, or a history of easy scarring or keloids.

Contact DIVA promptly if, after a session, you notice prolonged or increasing redness or swelling, blistering, severe or worsening pain, spreading discolouration, or anything that worries you — early guidance is always better than waiting.
