The Acne Scars Online Course equips practitioners to assess, classify and manage acne scarring with confidence. You’ll learn to distinguish hypertrophic from atrophic scars and to identify atrophic subtypes—rolling, boxcar and icepick—so you can match each presentation to evidence-informed treatment pathways and protocols.

The module explores the theory and application of core modalities, including scar levelling techniques (subcision, punch elevation and punch excision), TCA CROSS, dermal filler injections, resurfacing lasers and microneedling. Emphasis is placed on patient selection, sequencing of treatments, consent and complication avoidance. For the best learning experience, we recommend pairing this course with the Skin Essentials Bundle.
