We Treat Deep Pits, Raised Ridges, & Uneven Texture
Most acne scars are atrophic, meaning they sit below the skin where collagen was lost. Fewer are hypertrophic, or raised, where the skin made too much collagen while healing. Most people have more than one type, so your plan usually combines treatments.
Deep, narrow indentations that can damage the deeper layers of the skin. We use SHI CROSS treatments to encourage new collagen production and heal the skin.
Shallow, crater-like depressions caused by a lack of collagen during the skin’s healing process. With dermabrasion and subcision, we smooth and raise the skin.
Wide, wavy indentations that pull down on the skin and cause sagging and rippling. We use subcision to release fibrous tethers and allow the skin to rise again.
Firm bumps that sit above the skin, most common on the jawline, chest, and back. Injections can help flatten the tissue, and laser can smooth the surface once they settle.

Acne Scar Treatment Costs: What You Should Know
The cost of your acne scar treatment depends on:
- Your scar types, since deep or tethered scars often need more than one treatment
- The size of the area being treated
- The number of treatments you need to achieve results
Most patients combine two or more treatments over several sessions, so we price your plan as a whole. Ask about financing if you’d like to spread out the cost.

Maintaining Your Results with Long-Term Skincare
After your treatment, we provide clear aftercare instructions to help you protect your skin as it heals.
We typically recommend that you:
- Gently wash and moisturize your skin with soothing, non-irritating products
- Stay out of direct sunlight as much as possible and apply a daily broad-spectrum sunscreen
- Watch for dark spots (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), which are more common in deeper skin tones, and let us know if they show up so we can treat them early
- Avoid wearing makeup or using strong skincare formulas until your skin has recovered
- Follow any aftercare steps we provide
- Schedule recommended follow-up appointments to maintain your results
