Acne Scar
Revision
5.0 Rating (Read Reviews)
Acne scars are structural changes beneath the skin's surface. We use medical-grade collagen induction therapies to remodel the dermis, reduce discoloration, and improve skin texture over a series of treatments.
Diagnose to Heal
Effective scar revision requires an exact clinical diagnosis. Treating dark spots with needles, or treating deep indentations with light peels, will not produce results. We identify the biological root cause first.
Atrophic Scarring (Texture): When intense cystic acne destroys collagen, the skin collapses inward creating Ice Pick, Boxcar, or Rolling scars. We break down this rigid, tethered scar tissue using Medical Microneedling, forcing the body to rebuild smooth collagen from the inside out.
PIE & PIH (Color): Often mistaken for "scars," these are flat marks left behind after a breakout. PIE (Post-Inflammatory Erythema) is trapped red vascular damage, while PIH (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation) is trapped brown melanin. We treat these using targeted Chemical Peels and Laser Therapies.

Acne Scar Reviews
"I struggled with deep rolling acne scars on my cheeks for 10 years. After 3 sessions of RF Microneedling with Lauren, my skin texture is completely transformed. I finally feel confident without makeup."
"Jaycee is a magician. I had horrible red marks (PIE) left over from cystic acne. We did a series of chemical peels and laser treatments, and my skin is completely clear. Best investment ever."
"I was so intimidated by lasers and needles, but the team here explains the science behind everything. My boxcar scars have smoothed out by at least 80% after my package of SkinPen."
"Adding Salmon DNA to my microneedling was a game changer. The healing was so fast, and the texture of my skin is literally like glass now. The scarring is almost undetectable."

Questions
What to know before booking acne scar revision at ELLEMES.
No medical treatment can guarantee complete removal of deep structural scarring. However, our protocols can significantly reduce scar depth and visibility, often making them difficult to detect. Pigment marks (PIH/PIE) can generally be cleared entirely.
Acne "marks" (PIE or PIH) are flat areas of red or brown discoloration left behind after a breakout heals. True acne "scars" involve textural changes to the skin — either indentations (atrophic) or raised bumps (hypertrophic). Marks are treated with peels and lasers; textural scars require collagen-induction therapies like Microneedling.
Because the body needs time to rebuild deep collagen, acne scar revision is a process, not a quick fix. Most patients require a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart for meaningful, lasting textural improvement.
For treatments like RF Microneedling, we apply a medical-grade topical numbing cream before the procedure. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the session.
Generally, active inflamed acne must be cleared before aggressive scar treatment can begin. Performing microneedling over active cysts can spread bacteria. During your consultation, we will outline a plan to clear the active acne first, then address the scarring.
