We Treat Deep Pits, Raised Ridges, & Uneven Texture

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.

Scar Healing Pattern

Revealing Your Smoothest Skin, Step By Step

We treat your acne scars at every layer of the skin, going deeper to improve texture, rebuild support, and promote long-term skin health:

  1. Consultation & Planning: We evaluate your skin, identify your scar types, and create a personalized treatment plan.
  2. Surface Renewal: Targeted treatments remove damaged outer layers, revealing smoother, more even-toned skin while encouraging healthy cell turnover.
  3. Structural Release & Remodeling: By releasing the fibrous bands beneath the skin, we soften indentations and allow the skin to naturally rise over time.
  4. Collagen Boost & Volume Enhancement: We use advanced treatments to stimulate collagen production and restore fullness where volume has been lost.
  5. Ongoing Care & Prevention: We’ll provide clear guidance to help you care for your skin and maintain your results.

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
  • 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

What You Should Know Before You Schedule

In general, you may notice improvements within a few weeks, but it can take several months to see the full effects. The best results often require multiple sessions, and your skin’s response will determine your timeline.

We use numbing options and local anesthesia to keep you comfortable at every stage of treatment. During your recovery, any discomfort can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.

While acne scar treatments can create lasting skin improvements, skin naturally changes over time due to aging, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices. To maintain your results, you may need occasional touch-up treatments or maintenance.

We recommend waiting until your active acne has been controlled before undergoing acne scar treatment. Treating scars while active acne is still present can potentially worsen the condition or lead to new breakouts.

To prevent new acne scars, avoid picking or squeezing pimples, treat acne early, and follow a proper skincare routine using non-comedogenic products. Wearing sunscreen daily helps protect the skin from UV damage, and topical treatments with ingredients like retinoids or salicylic acid can aid in healing.

Acne scars form when the skin becomes inflamed due to acne. The following factors can increase the risk of scarring:

  • The severity of the acne
  • The duration of the breakout
  • Genetic predispositions
  • Picking or squeezing active acne
