Introduction to Acne Scars Treatment

It’s bad enough having acne; living with the scars it can leave behind is not something anyone should have to endure. When you are plagued with acne and have lived with pimples, pustules, cysts, and other skin irregularities, it can feel like you suffer from a physical deformity. When those infections clear, you may be left with pits, hyperpigmentation issues, and other concerns. At LM Medical NYC in Greenwich Village and the Upper East Side, our expert dermatology team, led by renowned dermatologist Dr. Morgan Rabach, specializes in providing personalized, effective acne scar treatments to help patients achieve healthier, clearer skin for life.

What is Acne Scar Treatment?

Acne scar treatment encompasses a variety of dermatological procedures that reduce the appearance of scars left behind by acne. These work by stimulating collagen production, resurfacing the skin, or encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin cells. Depending on the type and severity of the scars, options can include microneedling, chemical peels, laser therapy, and fillers. At LM Medical NYC, our team tailors each treatment plan to your skin’s needs, helping to restore smoother, more even-toned skin.

Treatment Options for Acne Scars

Acne scars come in various forms, from deep pitted marks to discoloration of the skin, and may require you to use specialized treatments to improve your skin texture and tone. At LM Medical NYC, we offer:

  • Microneedling: Stimulates collagen production to reduce the appearance of scars and smooth the skin.
  • Chemical peels: Removes the outer layer of damaged skin to reveal healthier, more even-toned skin.
  • Laser therapy: Targets the deeper layers of your skin to improve texture and minimize scarring.
  • Dermal fillers: Temporarily fill indented scars for a smoother surface.
  • Topical treatments: Prescription creams or serums to help fade discoloration and improve skin health.

Our expert dermatology team, led by Dr. Morgan Rabach, combines these treatments to create a customized plan that delivers noticeable, long-lasting results.

What is the Recovery Like After Acne Scar Treatment

Recovery after acne scar treatment varies depending on the type of procedure performed. Here’s a general guide to what you can expect:

  • Microneedling: There will be mild redness and sensitivity for 1–2 days, similar to a mild sunburn. Most can resume their usual activities the next day.
  • Chemical peels: There will be peeling and redness for 3–7 days, depending on the depth of the peel. Sun protection and hydration are essential.
  • Laser therapy: There will be redness and swelling for a few days, with some flaking or crusting as the skin heals. Recovery time depends on the intensity of the laser used.
  • Dermal fillers: Minimal downtime with possible mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites.
  • Topical treatments: Gradual improvement over weeks with no significant downtime.

Dr. Morgan Rabach and her expert team will provide post-treatment care instructions during your consultation at LM Medical NYC. Most treatments involve minimal downtime, allowing you to return to your routine quickly while unveiling smoother, rejuvenated skin.
