At Skin & Aesthetic Clinic By Dr. Lubna, we meet people every day who feel just like you do. The good news? Acne scars can be treated. And not just hidden  actually improved with the right care.

We offer advanced acne scars treatment in Islamabad, tailored to your skin type, your scar type, and most importantly  your comfort level. Our goal is to help your skin look smoother, brighter, and healthier, using safe, clinically proven treatments that really work.

Understanding Acne Scars

Acne scars develop when breakouts damage the skin at a deeper level, and the body’s healing process produces irregular amounts of collagen. This leads to visible changes in skin texture and tone.

We treat several types of acne scars at our clinic:

  • Atrophic scars: Sunken scars like ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars
  • Hypertrophic scars: Thick, raised scars from excess collagen
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark spots that linger after acne clears

While these scars may seem permanent, professional acne scar treatments can significantly reduce or even remove them, revealing smoother, healthier skin underneath.

Benefits of Acne Scar Treatment

Getting professional acne scar treatment is not just about appearance it’s a form of skin restoration that benefits you inside and out:

  • Improved skin texture and softness
  • Fewer visible scars and dark spots
  • Evened-out skin tone
  • Increased natural collagen production
  • Boosted confidence and self-image
  • Safe, non-surgical solutions with minimal recovery time

With the right combination of techniques, you can reclaim healthy, vibrant skin that feels as good as it looks.

Customized Treatments for Every Skin & Scar Type

Everyone’s skin is different, and so are their acne scars. At Skin & Aesthetic Clinic By Dr. Lubna, we create personalized treatment plans based on your unique skin tone, scar type, and long-term goalsso you get the results that truly work for you.

Chemical Peels

  • Nd:YAG Laser – Best for pigmentation and safe on all skin tones, especially darker complexions.

Microneedling with PRP (Vampire Facial)

Advanced & Combination Techniques

For stubborn or more severe scars, we offer advanced combination treatments designed to deliver real, lasting results.

  • Subcision Technique – Releases fibrous scar tissue to let the skin surface rise and flatten.
  • PDO Threads – Helps lift and firm skin while reducing scarring.
  • Scarlet RF – Combines radiofrequency and microneedling for powerful skin regeneration.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Acne Scar Treatment?

  • You’re in good general health
  • You want noticeable skin improvement without surgery
  • You’re ready to follow a personalized treatment plan

If you’re unsure, a consultation with Dr. Lubna Zahir will determine the safest and most effective approach for you.

What to Avoid Before & After Treatment?

Before Treatment:

  • Avoid sun exposure or tanning for at least a week.
  • Pause use of exfoliating or irritating products.
  • Disclose any medications or skin conditions during consultation.

After Treatment:

  • Use sunblock daily and avoid harsh sun exposure.
  • Follow all post-care instructions.
  • Avoid picking or touching treated areas.
  • Skip makeup for at least 24–48 hours, depending on your procedure.

  • Reduced scar visibility
  • More even skin tone
  • Ongoing improvement due to boosted collagen
  • A noticeable boost in self-confidence

Most treatments begin to show visible results after 2–3 sessions. Deeper scars may require 4–6 sessions for optimal skin resurfacing.

FAQ's

The best treatment depends on the type of acne scars you have — such as ice pick, rolling, or boxcar scars — and your skin type. At our clinic in Islamabad, we typically recommend a combination of treatments for best results. Options may include Fractional CO₂ laser, microneedling with PRP, RF microneedling, chemical peels, or subcision. A personalized treatment plan is created after a skin analysis to ensure optimal outcomes.

Yes, acne scars can be significantly improved with the right treatment approach. While complete removal may not always be possible, we can dramatically reduce the appearance of scars and smooth out the skin’s texture. With today’s advanced dermatological techniques, even deep scars can be safely and effectively treated.

Yes, dermatologists are the most qualified professionals to treat acne scars. At our clinic, all procedures are performed or supervised by Dr. Lubna Zahir, using medically approved technologies that target scars at their root. It’s important to seek treatment from a qualified expert to ensure safety and long-lasting results.

While “permanent removal” depends on the type and depth of the scars, many patients experience long-term, visible improvement after a series of professional treatments. Our goal is to soften, smooth, and fade scars to the point that they are barely noticeable — often with results that last for years, especially with good skincare maintenance.

Laser hair removal is not recommended during pregnancy. While there’s no evidence that the procedure harms the fetus, there are no studies confirming its safety either. Additionally, pregnancy hormones can stimulate hair growth and affect treatment results. Most clinics in Islamabad will not perform laser hair removal on pregnant women as a precautionary measure. It’s best to wait until after delivery and, if breastfeeding, consult with both your doctor and laser specialist.

 

Absolutely — especially if acne scars affect your confidence or how your skin looks in natural light. Most of our patients in Islamabad notice a clear difference after just one or two sessions, and feel more confident in their appearance. Professional treatments are far more effective than over-the-counter creams and can be life-changing for many.

At Aesthetics & Skin Clinic by Dr. Lubna Zahir, we offer some of the most advanced acne scar treatments in Islamabad, including laser resurfacing, microneedling with PRP, RF microneedling, subcision, and chemical peels. Every treatment is tailored to your specific skin needs for maximum effectiveness with minimal downtime.

The cost of acne scar treatment in Islamabad varies depending on the type of treatment and the number of sessions required. On average, a session can range from PKR 8,000 to PKR 20,000. We always recommend a consultation first, where we assess your skin and provide a customized treatment plan with transparent pricing.

Laser treatments like Fractional CO₂ or Erbium laser are highly effective for deeper acne scars. The cost typically starts around 15,000 to 25,000 PKR  and may vary based on the treated area and scar severity. A full course usually involves multiple sessions for best results.

During a laser hair removal session, you’ll wear protective eyewear while our technician administers short pulses of laser energy to the treatment area. You may experience a slight tingling or warming sensation as the laser targets the hair follicles.
