Smoother skin, built in stages.
Acne scars form when deep breakouts damage collagen. We rebuild it, one stage at a time. Most scars improve a lot. Few disappear completely, and we'll be honest about that.

Why acne leaves scars
Deep, inflamed breakouts damage the collagen under the skin. As skin heals, it can make too little collagen. That leaves a dip in the surface.
Squeezing or picking adds to the damage. So does acne that goes untreated for a long time.
Treatment works by making skin rebuild collagen. That takes time. Results build over months, not days.
Not all scars are the same
Rolling
Soft, wave-like dips. Bands under the skin pull the surface down.
Boxcar
Wider dips with sharp edges. Often on the cheeks and temples.
Icepick
Narrow, deep points. The hardest type to treat.
Marks
Red or brown marks after a breakout. Not true scars, and they fade faster.
Most people have a mix. Your therapist maps your scar types at consultation.
The treatments we use for scarring
Each treatment triggers new collagen in a different way. Many plans combine two. Your therapist matches them to your scars and skin at consultation.
Skin Needling
Fine needles make tiny channels in the skin. This triggers healing and new collagen. Scars soften and texture looks smoother over a course.
Halo™ Hybrid Fractionated Laser
Two laser wavelengths work at once. One resurfaces the top layer. The other heats deeper to build collagen. Skin looks smoother and more even.
The Secret RF
Microneedles deliver radiofrequency heat deep in the skin. This remodels scar tissue and firms skin. Offered as The Secret DUO with Erbium resurfacing.
Laser Genesis™
A gentle laser warms the skin below the surface. It fades red marks left by acne and supports collagen. No downtime.
Lira Skin Peels
A professional peel lifts dull surface cells. It refines texture and evens marks. Best for shallow scarring or between sessions.
Halo + BBL
Halo resurfaces texture. BBL light targets red and brown marks in the same visit. One plan for scars and uneven tone.

Your plan, stage by stage
Consult
We assess your scar types, skin and any active acne. Then we map your plan.
Clear
Active breakouts are settled first. New acne means new scars.
Rebuild
Months 1–6. A course of needling, laser or RF builds new collagen, about a month apart.
Protect
Daily SPF and homecare protect healing skin. Collagen keeps building for months after your last session.
What to expect: most clients need a course of 3 to 6 sessions. Improvement is gradual and continues for up to 6 months. Deep scars soften rather than vanish. Results vary by skin.
What you do at home matters
Homecare supports healing between treatments. Your therapist prescribes a routine for your skin. SPF every day protects new collagen and stops marks darkening.

Your acne scarring questions, answered
Can acne scars be removed completely?
Rarely. Most scars can be improved a lot, often making them far less noticeable. Deep icepick scars are the hardest. We set honest goals at consultation.
How many treatments will I need?
Most clients need 3 to 6 sessions, about a month apart. Deeper scars may need more, or a mix of treatments. Your therapist confirms this at consultation.
When will I see results?
Collagen takes time to build. Most clients notice smoother texture after 2 to 3 sessions. Results keep improving for up to 6 months after the course.
Is there downtime?
It depends on the treatment. After needling, skin is usually pink for 1 to 3 days. Halo and RF can mean several days of redness and flaking. Laser Genesis has no downtime. We explain this before you book.
Can I treat scars if I still get breakouts?
We settle active acne first. Some treatments can't be done over active breakouts. Your therapist plans the right order.
Do I need to wear SPF?
Yes, every day. Healing skin is more sensitive to sun. SPF protects your results and stops marks darkening.
