Acne scars are a common skin concern that can leave lasting marks long after a breakout has healed. These scars may appear as raised areas, pitted spots, or subtle textural irregularities that affect the overall smoothness of the skin. While acne scars can affect anyone, regardless of age or gender, they don’t always fade on their own and often require targeted treatment to restore the skin’s appearance. They are commonly caused by inflamed blemishes, clogged pores, excessive sun exposure, or habits like picking and squeezing pimples. Understanding acne scars is the first step toward finding effective solutions for smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Symptoms of Acne Scars
- Uneven skin tone that makes the complexion look blotchy or discolored
- Visible scar tissue, including raised scars or depressions in the skin’s surface
- Sagging skin caused by weakened collagen and elastin fibers
- Textural irregularities such as rough patches or pitted areas
- Deeper scars that create long-lasting changes in skin structure
- Reduced self-confidence and self-esteem in social or professional settings
- Emotional impact, as many patients feel limited or self-conscious about their skin
- Improved quality of life when scars are treated, leading to smoother skin, radiant skin tone, and a more youthful appearance

Recommended Treatments
Regenerative Microneedling
What Is It?
The microneedling procedure uses tiny, controlled punctures in the superficial layers of the skin to stimulate collagen formation and elastin production. When combined with Ariessence PDGF+ this treatment enhances the healing process for accelerated results.
Key Benefits
- Improves overall skin texture
- Reduces the appearance of scar tissue
- Stimulates new collagen fibers
- Strengthens surrounding skin for long-term rejuvenation
Candidacy
Microneedling is particularly well-suited for patients with deeper scars, as well as those seeking a minimally invasive procedure to restore skin firmness and texture. Because the treatment stimulates the production of natural collagen and elastin, it’s also beneficial for anyone seeking to refresh their skin in a gradual, natural way.
Skin Rejuvenation
What Is It?
Our skin rejuvenation treatments target acne-prone and post-acne skin by gently resurfacing damaged layers to help unclog pores and fade acne scars. Depending on your needs, options may include light-based therapies, chemical peels, or other advanced skin renewal techniques that support clearer, healthier-looking skin.
Key Benefits
- Helps reduce active acne and prevent future breakouts
- Minimizes acne scars and discoloration
- Refines skin texture and tone
- Supports collagen production for smoother, more resilient skin
Candidacy
Candidates for skin rejuvenation treatments are often seeking to improve clarity, smoothness, and uneven skin texture caused by past breakouts. Skin rejuvenation may also benefit those with residual redness or discoloration left behind after acne, helping restore a clearer, more balanced complexion.
Moxi Laser
What Is It?
Moxi is a gentle laser resurfacing treatment that helps improve skin clarity, smoothness, and overall tone. This precise, non-ablative laser targets pink and brown discoloration (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation) and helps refine superficial textural irregularities without damaging the surrounding skin.
Key Benefits
- Fades pink and brown spots left behind by acne
- Improves uneven tone and superficial textural irregularities
- Stimulates natural collagen production for smoother skin
- Gently refreshes the complexion with minimal downtime
Candidacy

AlumierMD Chemical Peels
What Is It?
AlumierMD chemical peels use a customized chemical solution, often incorporating ingredients such as salicylic acid or lactic acid, to remove dead skin cells and promote skin renewal.
