With Boxcar scar treatment, acne scars that are now in the form of a crater can be treated. Boxar means freight car. These acne scars are crater shaped. They can be oval or round. These vertical and sharp-edged scars cause skin collapses. The part of the scar on the skin is not pointed. Boxar scars, which have two types, can be treated with laser. Superficial traces may have depths between 0.1 and 0.5 mm. In these types, laser resurfacing can be used. Quite successful results are obtained. Deeper boxar acne scars are those that are deeper than 0.5 mm. In the treatment of these, first of all, punch skin lifting techniques are used after subsicion. At the last stage, skin rejuvenation can be done with Erbium and Fractional CO2 laser.
