Acne Scar Surgeries
Precision Surgical Solutions for Deep Acne Scars at Varsity Clinic
While topical treatments and lasers can improve superficial acne scars, deep, stubborn, or tethered scars often require minor surgical procedures for optimal results. At Varsity Clinic, we offer acne scar surgeries as part of a comprehensive acne scar correction plan—designed to improve skin texture, reduce shadowing, and release deep scar anchors for smoother, healthier-looking skin.
These procedures are carefully planned and performed under expert dermatological guidance to deliver visible, lasting transformation.
Who Needs Acne Scar Surgery?
Acne scar surgeries are ideal for:
- Individuals with ice-pick scars (narrow, deep scars)
- Boxcar scars with defined edges
- Tethered rolling scars that don’t respond to resurfacing
- Scars that cast shadows due to depth and tissue loss
- Patients who have already tried lasers or peels with limited results
Surgical scar revision is especially beneficial for people seeking a permanent reduction in severe or disfiguring scars.

Acne Scar Surgical Procedures at Varsity Clinic
After a detailed consultation and scar mapping, a customized plan may include one or more of the following procedures:
- Subcision: A minor surgery where a special needle is inserted under the skin to break fibrous bands pulling the scar down, helping the skin elevate and flatten.
- Punch Excision: Used for ice-pick or boxcar scars, where the scar is removed with a punch tool and sutured for a smoother finish.
- TCA CROSS: Though not surgical, this precision chemical technique is often combined with surgeries to shrink deep, pitted scars.
- Dermal grafting or fillers: For very deep scars with volume loss.
All procedures are performed under local anesthesia, ensuring comfort throughout.
