Acne can leave more than a memory behind. For many people, textural scars and dark marks linger long after breakouts clear. The good news: modern med spa treatments can significantly improve the look and feel of acne-scarred skin.
What Causes Acne Scars?
Acne scars form when inflamed breakouts damage the skin's deeper layers. Depending on the type of damage, scars can appear as:
- Pitted or indented texture
- Raised or thickened tissue
- Dark spots or discoloration

Top Treatments for Acne Scars
RF Microneedling
RF Microneedling combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and smooth textural scarring.
CO2 Laser Resurfacing
CO2 Laser Resurfacing resurfaces the skin's surface layers to reduce the appearance of deeper, pitted scars.
Chemical Peels
Chemical Peels help fade discoloration and encourage smoother, more even skin over time.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal Fillers can be used to lift and fill indented scars for a smoother surface.
What to Expect During Treatment
Most acne scar treatment plans include:
- An initial consultation to assess scar type and depth
- A customized combination of treatments
- A series of sessions spaced weeks apart
- Gradual improvement over several months
Results build over time as new collagen forms, so patience and consistency matter.
Which Treatment Is Right for You?
The best approach depends on your scar type. Textural, pitted scars typically respond well to RF microneedling or laser resurfacing, while discoloration often improves with peels or targeted skincare. A provider can help map out the right combination for your skin.
