Acne scars form when inflamed breakouts damage the skin’s deeper layers, and the healing process leaves behind lasting textural changes — often described as pitted, boxcar, or rolling scarring. The right approach depends on the type, depth, and pattern of scarring, along with your skin itself, which is exactly what a consultation is for.
Several of our treatments can be part of an acne-scar-focused plan — here’s where to look first.
Tiny, controlled micro-injuries prompt the skin to rebuild collagen, which can soften the look of pitted or uneven texture over time.

A more targeted technology reaches deeper into the skin, which can be useful for stubborn acne scarring that hasn’t responded to lighter treatments.

Pairing microneedling with radiofrequency heat can offer some patients a more noticeable improvement in pitted or textured scarring than needling alone.

It depends on the type and depth of your scarring, as well as your skin overall. Microneedling, skin resurfacing, and Matrix Pro RF microneedling are all options we may consider, and we’ll talk through what makes sense for you at a consultation.
It varies by treatment and by how your skin responds — collagen rebuilding takes time, so most acne-scar plans involve a series of sessions rather than a single visit. We’ll set expectations for your specific plan at your consultation.
Active breakouts and existing scarring are usually approached a bit differently, but we can talk through both at your consultation and put together a plan that addresses what’s active now alongside scarring left behind from the past.
We take skin tone into account when recommending a treatment, since some approaches carry different considerations for deeper skin tones. We’ll review your skin and history at a consultation before recommending what’s appropriate for you.
