This technique is particularly effective for treating deep, depressed acne scars like ice-pick and boxcar scars.
Procedure:
The area is first numbed with a local anesthetic.
A punch tool, similar to a tiny cookie cutter, is used to remove the scar tissue.
The wound is then closed with sutures, resulting in a smaller, linear scar.
