Acne Scars Treatment

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.

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.
