Acne Scarring Treatment

What acne scar treatments are available?

At Rinnova Skin & Body, there are several effective options for minimizing acne scars, including:

• Microneedling treatments stimulate collagen production to smooth the skin’s surface and minimize scar depth.
• Laser therapies, such as fractional CO2 lasers, resurface scarred areas and encourage healthy skin growth.
• Chemical peels help even out skin tone and texture, while dermal fillers can lift depressed scars for a more uniform appearance.

For patients who do not achieve sufficient results with standard treatments, the team at Rinnova Skin & Body can create a customized treatment plan. The variety of acne scars may include ice pick boxcar and rolling scars. Treating each of the optimally will require a combination of different treatments. They may include CO2 laser, subcision, phenol peels, and dermal fillers including purified silicone for more significant and permanent improvement.

When should I seek treatment for acne scarring?

Acne scar treatment is most effective once active acne has resolved. Patients who notice permanent indentations, uneven skin tone, thickened tissue, or scars that affect confidence should consider a consultation.

Early intervention can prevent scars from worsening and maximize treatment outcomes. Even long-standing scars can be treated effectively with advanced, customized therapies.

What is acne scarring treatment typically like?

Procedures vary depending on the chosen therapy.

Microneedling sessions typically last 60 minutes, while laser resurfacing and chemical peels may take longer and often require local anesthesia or topical numbing. Patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity, which usually resolves over time.

The team at Rinnova Skin & Body may combine treatments like CO2 laser, subcision, chemical peels and dermal fillers to treat difficult-to-treat acne scars. Multiple sessions may be recommended for optimal results, with each step designed to improve skin texture and appearance safely.

When will I notice the results of my acne scarring treatments?

Some improvements, such as smoother texture and reduced redness, may be visible within days to weeks. Full results from collagen remodeling and skin regeneration, especially with customized treatments, typically appear over 3–6 months. Follow-up appointments allow the team at Rinnova Skin & Body to monitor progress and determine if additional treatments are needed to achieve the best possible outcome.
