Depressed or pitted scars
Small dips and deeper pits are changes in the skin's texture. Their depth and shape help determine whether microneedling, laser resurfacing, or another approach is worth discussing.

Treatments for Acne Scars
Your breakouts may be behind you, but the marks they left can linger. Let's talk about smoother-looking skin and a little more confidence going makeup-free.
Understanding the concern
When acne leaves something behind
Acne scars can make your skin look uneven long after a breakout has healed. You might notice shallow dips, deeper indentations, raised areas, or lingering discoloration, and each deserves a different approach.
What may be contributing
What are you noticing?
A closer look helps us understand what you want to improve and which kind of care may fit.
Raised or firm scars
A raised or firm area should be assessed before resurfacing. Not every scar responds to the same treatment, particularly if you have a history of thick or keloid scars.
Post-acne discoloration and uneven tone
A flat dark or red mark is not the same as an indented scar. You may need a pigment-focused plan, texture treatment, or a combination if both are present.

Frequently asked
Acne Scars questions, clearly answered
Have another question? We are happy to talk it through before you choose a treatment.
What causes acne scars?+
Common contributors can include depressed or pitted scars, raised or firm scars, post-acne discoloration and uneven tone. A visual concern can also have a medical cause, so history and symptoms matter.
Which treatment is best?+
The best fit depends on what you want to improve and what is behind the change. We talk through your preferences, health history, recovery time, and budget before recommending care.
Will I need more than one treatment?+
Many aesthetic treatments are planned as a series, while others may be performed once and reassessed. The treatment guide and consultation should specify the likely number and spacing of visits.
Can treatments be combined?+
Sometimes, when they address different parts of your concern. We explain why a combination may help and plan the timing and recovery before you book.
When should I see a medical specialist first?+
Seek appropriate medical evaluation for new, changing, painful, bleeding, infected, rapidly worsening, or otherwise concerning symptoms. Cosmetic treatment should not substitute for diagnosis.
