How Can I Get Rid of Acne Scars?

Chances are if you’ve had acne early on in life, you’re living with acne scars in your adulthood. For patients that have them, scars are all they see in the mirror. Acne scars can be a debilitating condition that negatively affects self-confidence in social or work situations. The good news is, acne scars can be made less noticeable with non-surgical treatments.

We’re here to help you get the blemish-free skin you deserve. Tenley K. Lawton M.D. has a wide range of options for patients suffering from bothersome acne scars. There’s no need to live with acne scars any longer. Dr. Lawton provides personalized care for each patient that walks through her door ensuring an optimal outcome each and every time.

Microneedling Treatments for Acne Scars

Microneedling is a highly sought-after procedure for a variety of skin conditions. It’s most commonly used for anti-aging purposes, but the procedure can also help significantly fade unwanted acne scars. Microneedling stimulates deep tissue growth and breaks up scar tissue improving overall complexion.

Restore your natural beauty with minimal discomfort or downtime. Microneedling is often done as a ‘weekend’ procedure with a short recovery period. Side effects are typically mild but may include redness or inflammation. Any side effects should subside within 48-hours post-treatment. You may need multiple microneedling sessions to address deeper acne scars.

SkinPen is an advanced form of microneedling that allows Dr. Lawton to treat sensitive or difficult to reach areas. Microneedling with SkinPen is safe and effective for all skin types. Address fine lines, pigmentations, and other skin imperfections with a single in-office visit.

Accelerate cellular turnover and prompt additional collagen production by adding PRP to your microneedling treatments.

Scar Reduction with Chemical Peels

All chemical peels are not created equal. There are various types of chemical peels that resurface different depths. Chemical peels are the ideal non-surgical alternative for patients with moderate acne scars. The skin rejuvenation technique is designed to promote faster cellular for blemish-free skin.

One of the great things about chemical peels is the ability to correct individual concerns while also providing total facial rejuvenation. Even patients with deep scars can benefit from long-lasting results with chemical peels.

Chemical peels are highly-customizable. Opt for a one-time procedure with dramatic results or a series of lighter treatments with less downtime. Watch acne scars gradually fade with each successive treatment.
