Treatment of acne scars in Vienna

Acne scars occur when the skin does not fully regenerate after inflammatory blemishes. The inflammation often destroys parts of the collagen structure, resulting in depressions (atrophic scars) or, less commonly, elevations (hypertrophic scars). The earlier the treatment, the better the chances of visible improvement.

The most common types of scars include:

• Boxcar scars: wider, sharply defined indentations
• Ice pick scars: small, deep punctures
• Rolling scars: wave-shaped indentations
• Hypertrophic scars: raised scars, usually after severe inflammation

The type of scar determines the appropriate treatment method.

Depending on the skin type, the following methods are used:

• Special cream therapy
• Accompanying therapy for skin cleansing, skin care and sun protection
• Microsurgery
• Wrinkle treatments with hyaluronic acid
• Chemical peels
• Fractional laser therapy and laser peelings
• IPL treatment
• Microneedling dermaroller dermastamp treatment

Combination therapies often achieve the best results. During an initial consultation, we will work with you to develop your personal treatment plan.

Most treatments are performed using an anesthetic cream or local anesthesia and are well tolerated. Our doctors ensure that the treatment is as comfortable as possible.

That depends on the depth and number of scars. Usually, 3–5 sessions at intervals of several weeks are necessary to achieve a significant improvement.

The first changes are often visible after one to two weeks. However, the full effect takes several months to become apparent, as the skin forms new collagen and regenerates itself. The skin's appearance continues to improve steadily, especially with laser and RF microneedling treatments.

Deep scars usually cannot disappear completely, but modern methods can significantly smooth and even out the skin's appearance. Many patients experience great visual and emotional relief after treatment.

Depending on the method used, redness, slight swelling, or scabbing may occur and last for a few days. Our doctors will explain to you individually what you should bear in mind after the treatment.

The costs depend on the method, skin condition, and treatment area. The initial consultation costs €190, during which a personalized plan will be created for you.

• Superficial peels for acne scars for one area cost from €110.
• Medium-depth peels for acne scars for one area cost from €250.
