Acne Scar 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 Downtown New York City, 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 in Downtown New York City, 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. Our expert dermatology team, led by Dr. Morgan Rabach, combines these treatments to create a customized plan that delivers noticeable, long-lasting results. 

Uses ultra-fine needles to create micro-injuries to the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate collagen production, reducing the appearance of scars and smoothing the skin. You will need a series of 3 to 6 sessions, spaced over several weeks, depending on the severity of your acne.

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 peel depth. 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 and Biostimulatory fillers: Minimal downtime with possible mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites.
  • Topical treatments: Gradual improvement over weeks with no significant downtime.
  • TCA Cross: 3 to 7 days of downtime, including temporary scabbing and a brief period of redness while your treated scars heal.
  • Subcision: 1 to 2 weeks of swelling and bruising, with the underlying collagen remodeling continuing over several months. Most can return to normal activities within a few days.
