With fractional laser therapy, small areas of the skin are treated in a controlled manner. This activates the natural healing process and stimulates the production of new collagen. As a result, skin texture can gradually refine, and certain acne scars may become less visible. The number of treatments required depends on the type of scar, its depth, your skin type, and the chosen laser settings. During the consultation, we will discuss the treatment plan, expected recovery time, and aftercare advice.

For certain deeper, pitted acne scars, the cosmetic physician can use hyaluronic acid or Radiesse. Hyaluronic acid can subtly correct volume loss beneath a scar, helping the skin appear more even. Radiesse acts as a biostimulator, encouraging collagen production, which can contribute to improved skin texture and firmness.

The most suitable treatment depends on the type of scar, its depth, and the condition of your skin. Sometimes, these treatments are combined with options such as PDRN, microneedling, or laser therapy for a more comprehensive approach.

PDRN (polynucleotides) is a regenerative treatment that supports the skin's natural repair process and improves overall skin quality. Our cosmetic physician administers PDRN into the skin using micro-injections. PDRN can also be applied in combination with microneedling.

For acne scarring, we see excellent results, particularly after a full course of PDRN treatments: skin texture can become visibly refined, and scars may become less noticeable. PDRN can be used as a standalone treatment or as part of a comprehensive plan, combined with options such as microneedling, laser therapy, or treatments for deeper scarring.

We will determine the most suitable approach and the number of sessions required during your consultation, based on your skin and the specific type of acne scarring.

During microneedling, the Dermapen uses ultra-fine needles to create tiny micro-channels in the skin. This activates the natural healing process and stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. Microneedling can be used to treat concerns such as superficial acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture. The number of treatments required varies depending on your skin and individual treatment plan.

A chemical peel stimulates controlled skin renewal using acids. Depending on the peel selected, the treatment can help refine skin texture and reduce the appearance of discoloration or superficial acne scarring. We will determine the appropriate peel and number of sessions based on your skin condition and personal goals.

The best at-home protocol depends on your skin condition, active acne, pigmentation or redness, the type of treatment, and your skin's sensitivity. At Van Lennep Kliniek, we work with brands including ZO Skin Health, Environ, Elementrē, and Colorescience. During your consultation, we will create a routine that supports your skin between treatments, with a special focus on the skin barrier and sun protection.

This varies from person to person. The type and depth of the scars, the condition of your skin, and the chosen treatment all play a role in determining how many sessions are required. Some treatment plans consist of a single type of procedure, while others combine different techniques to address specific skin concerns. During your consultation, we will provide a personalized estimate of the treatment plan and discuss what level of improvement is realistic.

The experience varies depending on the treatment and the individual. During procedures such as microneedling, laser therapy, or a chemical peel, you may feel warmth, slight pricking sensations, or sensitivity. Where appropriate, a numbing cream can be applied. We will explain exactly what to expect during and after your chosen treatment beforehand.

The most suitable treatment depends on the type of scar, its depth, your skin type, the condition of your skin, and any redness or pigmentation. For example, superficial scars and uneven skin texture can be treated with microneedling or a chemical peel. Fractional laser therapy can be used when more intensive skin renewal and collagen stimulation are required. For certain deeper, indented scars, a cosmetic doctor can assess whether hyaluronic acid is a suitable addition. PDRN can be used as a skin booster or in combination with microneedling to support skin recovery and improve skin quality.

Because icepick, boxcar, and rolling scars have different characteristics and often occur together, there is no single standard treatment that works best for everyone. At Van Lennep Kliniek, our skin therapists and cosmetic doctors assess your overall skin profile and may recommend a combination of treatments. During a no-obligation consultation, we will discuss which approach best suits your skin, the order in which treatments can be performed, and what results are realistic.

Acne scars usually cannot be completely ‘erased.’ The goal of treatment is to make scars less visible and improve skin texture. The degree of improvement possible depends on the type of scar and the individual skin. During your consultation, we will therefore discuss realistic expectations in advance.

Yes, that is often a very suitable approach, as different types of acne scars can occur simultaneously. A treatment plan might, for example, combine skin therapy with treatments performed by a cosmetic doctor. The specific combination, sequence, and intervals are determined on an individual basis.
