Achieve clearer and
smoother skin

Acne scar treatment encompasses various procedures that improve the appearance of scars left behind by acne breakouts. These treatments aim to minimize the visibility of scars, smooth out skin texture, and promote collagen production for skin regeneration. Methods such as microneedling, radiofrequency microneedling, and facials are used to stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, resulting in smoother, more even-toned skin. By targeting different types of scars, including pitted scars, hyperpigmentation, and raised scars, acne scar treatments offer individuals a chance to achieve clearer skin.

Acne scar treatment treats:

  • Pitted scars caused by severe acne
  • Hyperpigmentation resulting from post-inflammatory changes
  • Uneven skin texture and tone due to acne scarring
  • Raised scars or keloids left behind by acne breakouts
  • Overall skin damage and scarring caused by chronic acne

How do acne scar treatments work?

SkinPen microneedling

SkinPen microneedling utilizes a device equipped with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. This triggers the skin’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. As the skin repairs itself, it generates new, healthier tissue, gradually reducing the appearance of acne scars. Additionally, microneedling enhances the penetration and effectiveness of topical treatments applied during or after the procedure, further promoting skin regeneration. The increased collagen production helps to plump and smooth the skin, resulting in a more even complexion.

DiamondGlow facials

DiamondGlow facials use a unique diamond tip exfoliation system combined with simultaneous extraction and infusion of skincare serums. This non-invasive procedure gently removes dead skin cells, debris, and impurities from the skin’s surface while delivering specialized serums tailored to address specific skin concerns, including acne scars. The exfoliation process promotes cell turnover and collagen production, helping to diminish the appearance of scars over time. Additionally, the infusion of serums containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, and antioxidants aids in hydration, brightening, and rejuvenating the skin.

Sylfirm X radiofrequency microneedling

Sylfirm X radiofrequency microneedling combines the benefits of microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. The procedure involves the delivery of RF energy through micro-needles into the deeper layers of the skin. This dual-action approach creates controlled thermal injury, stimulating collagen and elastin production while also inducing tissue coagulation and remodeling. The RF energy heats the dermis, triggering a wound healing response and collagen production. As collagen fibers regenerate, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more even in texture, gradually reducing the appearance of acne scars.

Lutronic Healite II™

The Lutronic Healite II™ is a cutting-edge LED device that offers significant benefits for treating acne scarring. By utilizing low-level light therapy, it stimulates the skin’s natural healing processes and promotes collagen production, which is essential for reducing the appearance of scars. This non-invasive treatment helps smooth the skin’s texture, diminishes redness, and accelerates recovery. Whether used alone or in combination with other treatments, the Lutronic Healite II™ effectively enhances the skin’s ability to heal and restore itself, leading to a clearer, more even complexion.

Most individuals begin to see improvement after the first few treatments, with continued enhancement over the course of the treatment.

Is acne scar treatment painful?

While some discomfort may be experienced during certain procedures, such as microneedling or radiofrequency microneedling, topical numbing cream is applied prior to the treatment to minimize any discomfort.

The downtime associated with acne scar treatment depends on the type of procedure performed and individual skin sensitivity. Most patients experience temporary redness, swelling, and mild skin sensitivity following the treatment for a few days.
