Frequently asked questions
How does it work?
Acne scarring can vary in type, depth, and appearance, so treatment is customized to each patient’s skin and scars. We may combine different treatments to improve the texture and appearance of acne scars.
Depending on your individual needs, treatment may include:
- Microneedling: Uses controlled micro-injuries to stimulate the skin’s natural collagen production and improve skin texture.
- Fractional Laser Resurfacing: Creates microscopic treatment zones in the skin to stimulate collagen remodeling and improve the appearance of uneven texture and scars.
- Subcision: A minimally invasive technique that releases scar tissue tethering the skin, which can help improve depressed or rolling acne scars.
- Chemical Peels: Apply a controlled chemical solution to the skin to help improve surface texture and the appearance of certain types of acne scars.
Your dermatologist will evaluate your scar type, skin condition, and treatment goals before creating a personalized treatment plan. More than one treatment or session may be recommended depending on the type and severity of scarring.
