Rebuild Collagen From Within to Soften Acne Scarring
You deserve skin that reflects your confidence, not stubborn acne scars from years ago. With Sculptra in Los Angeles, the Scar Healing Institute will soften stubborn scars, rebuild lost collagen, and create the smooth complexion you’ve always wanted.

- Precise collagen-stimulation techniques made specifically for acne scars
- A treatment plan customized to your scar patterns, skin tone, and long-term goals
- Expert care from a practice dedicated exclusively to scar revision

No more hiding behind makeup. Let’s reveal a complexion you’re proud to show off.
Benefits of Using Sculptra to Lighten
The Appearance of Scars
Sculptra is a biostimulant made from Poly-L-Lactic Acid and helps strengthen the foundation beneath your scars by stimulating new collagen. Over time, you’ll enjoy a smoother skin surface, softer scar edges, and healthier texture.
Here’s how Sculptra restores firmness and elasticity to the skin:
- Stimulates new collagen to lift and refine indented scars
- Adds subtle volume to areas that have lost structural support
- Improves firmness, elasticity, and overall skin resilience
- Smooths uneven texture for a more consistent complexion
- Supports long-term skin renewal with results that continue to evolve for months
Find Out if Sculptra Is Right for Your Skin Type
If you’re looking to rebuild the structure beneath your acne scars and gradually reveal smoother, stronger skin, Sculptra can help. It works across a wide range of skin types and tones, creating subtle, natural refinements over time.
Sculptra may be right for you if:
- You have atrophic scars (rolling, boxcar, or ice-pick scars)
- Your scars look hollow or indented
- You want gradual, natural improvements rather than instant volume
- You prefer a treatment that stimulates your own collagen production
- Your skin has fully healed from active breakouts
Sculptra may not be the best fit if:
- You have active acne, open wounds, or ongoing skin infections
- You’re currently pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain medical conditions that could affect healing
- You’re prone to keloid or hypertrophic scarring
- You cannot follow the aftercare instructions, such as the massage routine
The Sculptra Process: From Treatment to Transformation
Before your Sculptra session, we’ll assess your skin, scar patterns, and goals to target the areas that need the most structural support. We may ask you to pause certain skincare products and arrive with clean, makeup-free skin to ensure the best outcome.
During treatment, your provider will carefully inject Sculptra beneath the surface of your scars, stimulating collagen in the deeper layers where support has been lost.
Here’s what you can expect after your Sculptra acne scar treatment:
- Right after your appointment: Mild swelling or redness may appear; this is normal and temporary
- Days 1–5: Follow the 5-5-5 massage routine (5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days)
- Week 1: Initial swelling fades, and your skin begins its renewal process
- Weeks 4–8: Gradual improvements in texture and volume become noticeable
- Months 2–6: Continued collagen buildup helps scars look softer and smoother
- Long term: Results evolve naturally, supporting stronger, healthier-looking skin over time
