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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Angel Croce, Staff Manager at Colorado Skin & Vein in Denver

Angel Croce

Staff Manager

Angel has been in healthcare for more than 20 years. Her journey began in 2004, after her father suddenly passed away from a stroke. Losing him was a life-changing experience, and it inspired her to choose a career where she could help others and give patients and their families the care, compassion, and support they need during difficult times.

Throughout her career she has worked across cardiology, neurology, family practice, and urgent care — each experience helping her grow both personally and professionally. She now works in vascular care and aesthetics, where she enjoys building relationships with her patients, helping them understand their care, and making sure they feel comfortable and supported throughout their journey.

Outside of work, Angel is a proud mom of two. Family is incredibly important to her, and in her spare time she loves being outdoors with her husband and their two dogs — hunting, fishing, and enjoying Colorado.

For Angel, healthcare is more than a career — it is personal. What started as a way to honor her father’s memory has become more than two decades of caring for others, and she is grateful to keep doing something that means so much to her every day.
