How it works

What causes acne scars

Flat red or brown marks and pitted scars need different approaches. Your consultation considers scar shape, skin tone, current breakouts, and the recovery time you can allow.

Depressed scars reflect changes in collagen after inflammation. Microneedling can improve selected shallow scars; deep ice-pick scars and tethered rolling scars may need a dermatologist's assessment for other procedures. Microneedling is not the same as surgically releasing a tethered scar.

Post-inflammatory erythema (PIE) is lingering redness; post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is darker color. Neither is a raised or indented scar. Protecting skin from the sun and controlling new breakouts help while the marks fade.

Good to know

Questions, answered

Can acne scars be completely removed?
Treatment can soften the appearance of scars, but complete removal is not a realistic promise. Some flat marks fade with time and appropriate care. Depth, scar type, ongoing acne, and your skin's response affect the amount of change.
What’s the difference between acne marks and acne scars?
Marks are flat changes in color after inflammation. Scars change the skin's texture: they can be indented or raised. Raised scars and deep pits need a different plan from shallow depressions. See the AAD overview of scar treatment.
How many treatments will I need?
The number and spacing depend on the procedure and scar pattern. A series is often needed, and collagen changes develop over months. We review response before deciding whether another session or a different approach is worthwhile.
Do these treatments hurt?
Numbing can reduce discomfort during microneedling, but tenderness, redness, and swelling can follow. RF adds heat and has additional risks; the FDA has reported burns, scarring, fat loss, and nerve injury with certain uses. Ask about the exact device, operator training, and alternatives. Read the FDA safety communication.
Can I treat scars if I still have active acne?
Control active acne before treating scars in the affected area. Needling inflamed or infected skin can worsen irritation and add infection risk. Tell your provider about current or recent acne medicines before scheduling a procedure.
