Physician-Directed Acne Scar Treatment
Acne scars form when inflammation from acne disrupts collagen production during healing. Treating acne scars requires accurate classification, skin-type-specific planning, and staged collagen remodeling.
At Lakewood Med Spa, every scar treatment plan begins with a physician consultation to classify scar type, assess skin tone, and sequence treatments for safe, cumulative improvement.
Who This Page Is For
Patients with active inflammatory acne are treated first.
Classification
Types of Acne Scars We Treat
Accurate scar classification is the foundation of effective treatment planning.
Ice-Pick Scars
Deep, narrow, V-shaped scars that extend into the dermis. Most difficult to treat — typically require Fractional CO₂ or subcision.
Boxcar Scars
Broad, box-shaped depressions with defined edges. Respond well to RF Microneedling and Fractional CO₂.
Rolling Scars
Wave-like undulations caused by fibrous bands tethering skin. Treated with RF Microneedling and subcision.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation
Dark marks left after acne heals — not true scars, but require pigment-safe treatment planning.
Enlarged Pores
Dilated pores often associated with acne history. Respond well to RF Microneedling and non-ablative laser.
Our Devices
Treatments Commonly Used for Acne Scars
Each treatment targets a different scar depth and type — protocols are combined for comprehensive results.
Collagen Induction at Controlled Dermal Depth
Stimulates collagen remodeling at controlled dermal depths using radiofrequency energy delivered through microneedles. Effective for atrophic (pitted) scars, enlarged pores, and uneven texture across all skin types.
Selective Resurfacing for Deeper Texture Scars
Creates controlled micro-channels in the skin to trigger intensive collagen remodeling. Selectively targets deeper atrophic and etched scars, particularly effective for ice-pick and boxcar scar patterns.
Scar & Pore Improvement with Lower Pigment Risk
Improves scars and enlarged pores using non-ablative laser energy — with a lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Ideal for melanin-rich skin types where ablative treatments carry higher risk.
Natural Growth Factors Layered into Scars
Concentrated growth factors derived from your own blood are applied directly into scar tissue to accelerate collagen repair and speed recovery. Commonly layered with RF Microneedling or DuoVive for enhanced results.
