Understanding the Types
of Acne Scars
Not all acne scars are created equal. The type, depth, and skin tone all influence which treatment — or combination of treatments — will produce the best results. Dr. Rotter evaluates each patient individually to design the most effective protocol.
Ice Pick Scars
Deep, narrow pits that extend into the dermis. One of the most challenging scar types.
Boxcar Scars
Wide, box-shaped depressions with sharp vertical edges. Common on cheeks and temples.
Rolling Scars
Broad, undulating depressions that create a wave-like appearance on the skin surface.
Hypertrophic Scars
Raised, firm scars that form when the body overproduces collagen during healing.
