Acne Scarring
What Is Acne Scarring?
Acne scarring refers to the lasting marks left on the skin after moderate to severe acne has healed. These scars form when inflamed blemishes damage the deeper layers of skin, leading to tissue loss or excess collagen production. Common types of acne scars include ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars, as well as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation—dark spots that linger after breakouts. While acne itself can fade over time, scarring often remains unless treated, and it can affect both appearance and self-esteem. Fortunately, today’s dermatologic treatments offer highly effective solutions for improving skin texture and tone.
Scars, whether large or small, can be devastating for your self-esteem. In the past, surgical removal of scars was the only option. Think of scars as a result of the body trying to heal a wound as quickly and efficiently as possible. Sometimes this results in a “normal,” although visible, scar.
Our Approach and Expertise
At The Center for Dermatology and Plastic Surgery, we specialize in advanced, personalized treatments for acne scarring to help you regain smoother, clearer, and more confident skin. Our board-certified dermatologists begin with a comprehensive skin evaluation to determine the type, depth, and pattern of your scars, then create a customized treatment plan based on your skin type, goals, and comfort level.
We offer a wide range of clinically proven solutions, including microneedling with or without radiofrequency, fractional laser resurfacing, chemical peels, dermal fillers, and subcision. These treatments work by stimulating collagen production, remodeling scar tissue, and improving overall skin texture. For discoloration or residual redness, we may incorporate topical therapies or light-based treatments to further refine your results.
Our goal is not just to treat scars—but to restore your skin’s health and enhance your natural beauty. With state-of-the-art technology, deep clinical expertise, and a commitment to personalized care, The Center for Dermatology and Plastic Surgery is your trusted destination for effective acne scar treatment in Phoenix and beyond.
