Acne Scarring
Improve Your Acne Scars and Reclaim Smoother Skin
Acne scars can feel permanent, but they are one of the skin concerns that respond most meaningfully to professional treatment.
Acne scarring occurs when inflamed blemishes damage the skin's deeper layers, leaving behind depressions, raised tissue, or discoloration that persists long after the breakout has cleared. The most common types include atrophic scars, which create shallow to deep indentations in the skin, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which leaves behind flat dark marks. Scarring can affect skin texture significantly, making it appear uneven and rough even when the skin is otherwise clear. The emotional toll of living with visible scarring is real, and it can affect confidence in profound ways. Today there are multiple highly effective treatments available that stimulate collagen, resurface the skin, and progressively improve the look and feel of scarred tissue.
Treatments for Acne Scarring at Bella Aesthetica
Several advanced treatment options are available for acne scarring here, ranging from collagen-stimulating microneedling to laser resurfacing and chemical peels. Our providers will assess your scar type, depth, and skin tone before recommending a personalized plan, as different scarring responds best to different approaches. A series of treatments typically produces the most significant improvement, and our team will be with you every step of the way.
SkinPen
SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device that uses precise micro-injuries to stimulate the skin's natural collagen and elastin production, improving texture, mild scarring, fine lines, and overall skin quality.
Pixel 8
Pixel 8 is a radiofrequency microneedling device that combines the collagen-stimulating effects of microneedling with RF energy for deeper tissue tightening, skin firming, and scar reduction with minimal downtime.
Tetra Pro
The Tetra Pro is an advanced CO2 laser platform that delivers precise, customizable resurfacing energy to treat wrinkles, acne scars, skin laxity, and textural irregularities with tailored treatment outcomes.
Any Questions?
Complete elimination depends on the type and depth of the scarring. Shallow scars and post-inflammatory pigmentation typically respond very well and can be significantly improved. Deeper atrophic scars may not be fully eliminated but can be dramatically reduced in depth and visibility through a committed treatment series.
Yes. Ablative laser treatments including CoolPeel, Erbium YAG, and Tetra Pro can produce significant improvement in acne scarring by resurfacing the skin and stimulating deep collagen remodeling. The most appropriate laser treatment depends on your scar type, skin tone, and desired downtime.
Yes. Back acne and post-acne scarring can be addressed with microneedling, chemical peels, and targeted skin treatments. Your provider will assess the type and severity of the concern before recommending the most appropriate treatment approach for the back.
Improvement in acne scarring is progressive and develops over a series of treatments. Most clients begin to notice a meaningful difference in texture and depth after three to four sessions, with continued improvement over the following months as collagen remodeling progresses.
In most cases, active acne should be cleared or significantly controlled before beginning aggressive scar treatment. Some treatments like microneedling and chemical peels can address both concerns simultaneously when performed appropriately. Your provider will assess your skin and advise on the right sequencing.
Medical-grade skincare products containing retinoids, vitamin C, and growth factors can support the improvement of acne scarring between professional treatments. Your provider will recommend the most appropriate at-home products to complement your in-office plan.
