How Treatments Work
How Do Acne Scar Treatments Work?
Effective acne scar treatment targets the root cause: disrupted collagen structure. By stimulating your skin’s natural healing mechanisms, we rebuild healthy tissue and restore smooth texture.
- Controlled Collagen Remodeling – Laser energy and microneedling create precise micro-injuries that trigger organized collagen production, replacing disorganized scar tissue with healthy, even skin structure.
- Resurfacing Damaged Layers – Fractional CO2 lasers vaporize columns of damaged skin, removing scar tissue and prompting complete cellular regeneration for dramatic texture improvement.
- Volume Restoration – Injectable fillers instantly lift depressed scars by replacing lost tissue volume while simultaneously stimulating your body's natural collagen production for lasting structural support.
- Pigment Correction – IPL and BBL target excess melanin and broken capillaries, breaking down discoloration at the cellular level to fade red and brown acne marks for even skin tone.
- Layered Improvement – Combining treatments addresses multiple scar characteristics simultaneously—texture, depth, tone, and structure—for comprehensive results no single modality can achieve alone..
Advanced Treatments for Smoother Skin
No two faces—or scars—are alike. Whether you’re dealing with shallow texture issues or deep, stubborn indentations, we tailor every treatment to your skin type, scar severity, and aesthetic goals for results that look natural and feel transformative.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Erase moderate to severe acne scars with fractional CO2 laser technology that vaporizes damaged tissue, stimulates deep collagen remodeling, and dramatically improves texture—our most powerful single treatment for comprehensive scar revision.
Microneedling
Smooth shallow to moderate scars with controlled micro-injuries that trigger your skin’s natural healing process, building new collagen and elastin for gradual texture improvement with minimal downtime.
Sculptra Aesthetic
Restore volume and stimulate long-term collagen production to fill depressed scars naturally over time. Ideal for rolling scars and areas needing structural support, Sculptra creates gradual, lasting improvements.
Dermal Fillers
Instantly lift and smooth individual depressed scars with precision-placed hyaluronic acid fillers that restore lost volume, improve contour, and provide immediate visual improvement while supporting collagen synthesis.
IPL / BBL Photofacial
Fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and red acne marks with intense pulsed light that targets melanin and broken capillaries, evening skin tone and reducing discoloration without texture downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Acne & Acne Scarring
What types of acne scars can be treated?
We treat all scar types: ice pick (deep, narrow pits), boxcar (square-edged depressions), rolling (wave-like indentations), hypertrophic (raised scars), and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Your personalized plan addresses your specific scar combination.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients require 2-4 sessions spaced 4-8 weeks apart for optimal results. Aggressive CO2 laser treatments may achieve improvements in fewer sessions, while gentler options require more visits but less recovery time.
Which treatment is best for my scars?
The best treatment depends on scar type, depth, skin tone, and downtime tolerance. During consultation, we evaluate your scarring and design a customized plan—often combining modalities for comprehensive improvement.
Do acne scar treatments hurt?
Most procedures involve tolerable discomfort managed with topical numbing cream and cooling. Laser treatments create brief heat sensations; microneedling feels like light pressure. We prioritize your comfort throughout every session.
Is there downtime with acne scar treatments?
Downtime varies by treatment. Microneedling and IPL involve 24-48 hours of redness; fractional lasers require several days to a week; aggressive CO2 resurfacing needs 7-14 days. We provide detailed recovery expectations for your specific plan.
When will I see results?
Immediate improvements appear with fillers. Laser and microneedling results emerge gradually as collagen rebuilds—visible changes within 4-6 weeks, continued improvement over 3-6 months. Final results develop as your skin remodels.
How much do acne scar treatments cost?
Costs vary by treatment type, area size, and session number. Laser resurfacing, microneedling, and combination plans are priced individually. We provide transparent pricing and customized treatment plans during your consultation.
