Visualize Your Anatomical Transformation in High-Resolution 3D

Before initiating any procedure for deep pitted acne scars, ice pick holes & boxcars, Cosmo Radiance conducts multi-spectral stereophotogrammetry using the Canfield Vectra H2 3D system. This enables our plastic surgeons and dermatologists to capture volumetric contours, measure submental angles, assess facial asymmetry, and simulate surgical or non-surgical outcomes with millimetric precision—ensuring complete alignment between patient expectations and clinical execution.

Clinical Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions: Deep Pitted Acne Scars, Ice Pick Holes & Boxcars

What is the medical cause of deep pitted acne scars, ice pick holes & boxcars?

Tethered fibrotic bands and loss of subcutaneous collagen following inflammatory cystic acne, causing rolling, boxcar, and ice-pick scar depressions. Clinically classified under ICD-10 code L90.5 as Atrophic Post-Acne Cicatrices & Dermal Fibrosis, this condition is treated through targeted anatomical correction rather than superficial salon remedies.

How do I know whether I need surgery or a non-surgical treatment?

If your concern involves significant loose, hanging skin or deep muscle separation, surgical correction (TCA Cross Chemical Reconstruction + Blunt-Cannula Surgical Subcision) provides permanent anatomical repair. If your concern is characterized by mild-to-moderate laxity or surface changes with zero tolerance for social downtime, our non-surgical platforms (Viol Scarlet S "Na Effect" non-insulated RF + Exosome regenerative serum) offer progressive improvement over 1 to 3 sessions.

What is the expected recovery timeline for this procedure at Cosmo Radiance?

For non-surgical options, social downtime is typically zero to 24 hours. For daycare surgical procedures, expected downtime is approximately 24–48 Hours (Mild redness, zero scabbing), with patients safely returning to remote or desk work within 48 to 72 hours.

Can I see a 3D preview of my expected results prior to treatment?

Yes! Cosmo Radiance utilizes the in-clinic Canfield Vectra H2 3D Facial Imaging & Body Simulation System. During your consultation, high-resolution stereophotogrammetry captures your exact 3D biometrics, allowing our senior surgeons to demonstrate realistic anatomical simulations and plan your procedure with millimetric precision.
