Ice-pick Scars

Description

Ice-pick scars—also called pitted scars, acne pits, or deep acne scars—are a common type of atrophic (indented) acne scar. These scars look like small, narrow, and deep holes or punctures in the skin, often appearing on the cheeks and forehead where skin is thinner. Sometimes referred to as "ice pick marks" or "acne indentations," these stubborn scars result from severe or inflamed acne that damages the deeper layers of skin, often made worse by picking or squeezing breakouts. Because ice-pick scars are so deep and narrow, they can be difficult to treat with creams or simple procedures, and often require a combination of advanced treatments such as fractional CO2 laser, TCA CROSS, or punch excision for noticeable improvement. If you are looking to smooth out pitted scars and restore a more even complexion, Korea’s world-class dermatology clinics offer specialized solutions to help minimize the look of ice-pick scars and boost your confidence.
