No More Lumpy or Sunken Skin: Get Solutions for Every Scar Type
Icepick Acne Scars
Icepick scars are deep, narrow, V-shaped marks caused by severe or cystic acne that damages the skin’s deeper layers. These stubborn scars often respond best to targeted treatments like CROSS or microneedling.
Boxcar Acne Scars
Boxcar scars appear as wide, shallow depressions with sharp, defined edges. They form when acne destroys skin tissue, leaving crater-like marks. Subcision, dermabrasion, and laser skin resurfacing are common treatments.
Rolling Acne Scars
Rolling scars are broad, wavy indentations caused by fibrous bands pulling the skin downward. They have soft, sloping edges and often improve with subcision, which helps release the tension beneath the surface.
This is How We Treat Acne Scars in Long Beach
How Much Does an Acne Scar Treatment Cost in Long Beach?
