In-Office Treatments We Use

Fractional & Ablative Lasers
Improve texture, depth, and coloration in atrophic and hypertrophic scars. Strong clinical evidence supports improvement after a series of sessions.¹

Microneedling / RF Microneedling
Ideal for pitted acne scars (ice-pick, rolling, boxcar). Stimulates collagen to gradually smooth depressions.¹

Intralesional Injections (Steroid ± 5-FU)
Best for raised scars and keloids. Research shows significant reduction in scar height, firmness and redness after repeated sessions.²

What Scars Are & Types We Treat

Scars form when the skin repairs an injury with new collagen.

Types:

• Atrophic scars: depressed scars from acne or trauma.¹

• Hypertrophic scars: raised scars that stay within the wound.³

• Keloids: raised scars that grow beyond the original injury; more common in darker skin tones.⁴

Results & Timelines

• Atrophic scars: visible improvement after 3–6 sessions of microneedling or laser over several months.¹

• Hypertrophic/keloid scars: steroid or 5-FU injections often soften thickness and firmness within 1–3 treatments.⁵

• Laser therapy: proven long-term improvement in texture and discoloration when appropriately selected for scar type and skin tone.⁶
  

Our multi-faceted Approach for best results

The most effective results come from combining treatments:

• Control active acne/irritation

• Use in-office procedures together (laser + microneedling + injections)

• Add topical support when needed
