Acne Scars

Acne Scars

Acne scars are a common skin concern that can occur after experiencing severe acne breakouts. When acne lesions penetrate the skin deeply, they can cause damage to the underlying tissue, leading to the formation of scars. Acne scars can vary in appearance, including ice pick scars, rolling scars, and boxcar scars.

At the California Dermatology Institute, we understand the impact acne scars can have on a person’s self-esteem and confidence. We offer advanced treatments to effectively reduce the visibility of acne scars and improve the overall texture of the skin.

Our experienced dermatology providers specialize in various techniques, including chemical peels and microneedling. Chemical peels involve the application of a chemical solution to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin, revealing smoother skin underneath and reducing the appearance of scars. Microneedling creates tiny punctures in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response and promoting collagen production, which helps to improve skin texture and reduce scarring.

During a consultation, our dermatology providers will assess the type and severity of your acne scars and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. We believe in a comprehensive approach to acne scar treatment, addressing both the physical scars and the overall health of the skin. Our goal is to help you achieve smoother, more even-toned skin, and restore your confidence.
