WHAT IS ACNE SCARRING TREATMENT?

Acne scarring treatments use advanced techniques — such as laser resurfacing, microneedling, chemical peels, or radiofrequency — to improve skin texture and reduce the visibility of scars left behind by acne. These treatments stimulate collagen production, resurface the skin, and help smooth uneven areas for a clearer complexion.

COMMON SCAR TYPES TREATED:

  • Atrophic (indented) scars including ice pick box and rolling scars
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Shallow to moderate scarring
  • Red or dark marks from past breakouts

Process

What to Expect

The chosen treatment creates controlled micro-injuries or removes damaged skin layers, triggering the body's natural healing response. New collagen and elastin form, gradually filling in scars and smoothing texture. Multiple sessions are usually needed for progressive improvement.
