How many treatments do I need for visible improvement?
The number of sessions varies based on scar severity, skin type, and treatment modality. During your consultation, we’ll recommend a personalized plan for optimal results.
Is there downtime after these procedures?
Downtime depends on the specific treatment. Some, like chemical peels or microneedling, have minimal recovery, while laser-based therapies may involve a few days of redness or mild swelling.
Are results permanent?
Acne scar improvements are generally long-lasting, though future breakouts or skin damage can impact results. A healthy skincare routine and follow-up treatments help you maintain smoother skin over time.
Can I combine multiple acne scar treatments for faster results?
Absolutely. Many patients benefit from a customized approach that includes two or more therapies. For example, pairing laser resurfacing with microneedling or PRP can boost collagen and accelerate scar improvement.
How soon will I see improvements in my scars?
Initial results may be noticeable a few weeks after your first session, but optimal benefits typically emerge over several months as collagen continues to remodel. Each treatment’s timeline varies, and your provider will give you an estimated progression during your consultation.
Are these treatments safe for darker or more sensitive skin types?
Yes. We offer a range of laser and non-laser options specifically chosen to be safe and effective for diverse skin tones and sensitivities. Your practitioner will assess your skin type and tailor a plan to avoid unwanted discoloration or adverse effects.
Do I need to stop using certain skincare products beforehand?
Depending on your treatment, we recommend briefly pausing retinol, exfoliants, or other active ingredients before your session. This helps reduce sensitivity and ensures your skin is properly prepped for the procedure.
