Acne scars are treated in Bangkok by hospitals and clinics with lasers, subcision (cutting the bands under the scars) and injections, usually combined, over several sessions.
Prices in Bangkok are per session, per area or by the course, and depend on the method. Ask for the total for your whole plan.

Acne scars are dents left in the skin after inflamed acne heals. Clinics describe three main types: rolling scars, wide and shallow with sloping edges; boxcar scars, with sharp edges and a flat base; and ice pick scars, narrow and deep.
Under many scars, bands of scar tissue pull the skin down. One clinic says these bands start to form in the first month and harden over 6 to 12 months. One face often has more than one type, so clinics usually combine methods.

The same procedure name covers different operations. These are the approaches a clinic will offer, and what separates them.
Fractional CO2, Fraxel and Fotona lasers resurface the skin and stimulate collagen. One clinic says a laser alone may not lift a scar that bands hold down.
A needle or a blunt cannula is passed under the scar to cut or loosen the bands. Clinics say it suits rolling scars best.
Fillers or collagen stimulators are placed under the scar, often after subcision. One clinic injects CO2 gas with hyaluronic acid.
One clinic treats narrow, deep ice pick scars one by one with TCA CROSS or a punch technique.
These come up at consultation. Knowing them beforehand makes the conversation shorter and the plan clearer.
Ask the doctor which types you have. Each responds to a different method.
Two clinics say subcision alone may not be enough to rebuild collagen, and advise adding a laser or an injection. Ask for the price of the whole plan.
One clinic advises postponing it with active acne or infection, a bleeding problem or blood-thinning medicine, a history of raised scars, or pregnancy.
About 1 day
Clinics vary, and your clinician’s plan overrides anything on this page. The shape is consistent.
Subcision sessions are one to three months apart, so more than one session means more than one trip.
A doctor examines the types of scar and plans the treatment, often a mix of methods.
Numbing cream or a local injection first. One clinic says subcision takes 30 to 60 minutes.
Bruising after subcision clears in about 7 to 10 days at one clinic, which advises avoiding strong sun, scrubs and other lasers for a week.
Scars swell for the first month, so one clinic judges the result after about eight weeks.
Use sunscreen every day. One clinic says it lowers the chance of dark marks.
A clinic name is not a clinician. Ask for the individual, their registration, and how often they do this procedure.
Facility fees, anaesthesia, materials, medication, follow-up appointments and take-home items are often quoted separately.
Including if the clinic reschedules, or if the in-person assessment changes the plan.
Ask for the policy in writing: who pays, within what window, and whether it covers a return trip.
A name, a channel, and an expected response time. Aftercare that ends at the airport is not aftercare.

No. It is a starting price for one session. The doctor sets the plan after seeing your scars.
Clinics advise one to three subcision sessions, one to three months apart, often with a laser.
Not always. Two clinics say scars may not disappear completely; treatment makes them shallower.
Bruising after subcision can last 7 to 10 days. One clinic says the small bumps from its gas and hyaluronic acid injections settle in two to four weeks.
