What’s the Best Acne Scar Treatment for You?
Acne scars can have a range of physical appearances, from redness and hyperpigmentation to divots or a “pockmarked” appearance of the skin. They can come from a variety of acne types, including cystic and inflammatory acne.
The best acne scar removal treatment for you will depend on your specific skin type and goals for treatment. Options include:
- Fraxel™ Laser Treatment: This nonsurgical treatment stimulates collagen regrowth deep in the skin for rapid healing and lasting results.
- HydraFacial: Let our team exfoliate, extract and hydrate your way to softer, glowing skin.
- Dermal grafts: This surgical solution implants collagen-rich cells in trouble areas, encouraging exponential skin regrowth.
- Microneedling: Our microneedling services stimulate rapid skin renewal to fade discoloration and even skin.
- Punch grafts: Remove your acne scars outright so new skin cells can quickly grow in place.
- Subcision: This minimally invasive procedure targets depressed scars to reduce the appearance of divots and wrinkles.
- TCA peels: This is a chemical peel that removes the topmost layers of skin to reveal new growth faster.
- Laser skin resurfacing: Similar to Fraxel, this therapy targets deep dermal cells to trigger collagen regrowth.

How We Can Help
First, you’ll have a consultation with a provider — one of our physicians, physician assistants or registered nurses. Together, you’ll decide on the best course of action. The specifics of your treatment will depend on the plan you establish with your provider.
In most cases, following treatment, you’ll be able to return to your normal life almost immediately. All you need to do is follow any recovery plans your provider assigns and wait for your results to transform your face.
Who Is a Candidate?
Anyone with acne scars may be a candidate for one of our scar removal treatments. If you are concerned with the appearance of acne scars, our providers will work with you to find an option that fits your preferences and restores your confidence.
What Can I Expect?
Depending on the treatment we agree on, you may start seeing a difference in your skin immediately, or it may take some time for the collagen to start regenerating. There may be some swelling and redness following your treatment, but most side effects clear up within a day.
Typically, our patients experience long-lasting results that reduce discoloration, even skin appearance and contribute to younger, healthier-looking skin.
