Acne Scars Treatment at MODA Medical Aesthetics

Acne Scars

Acne scars can be distressing and socially challenging, serving as a lasting reminder of past struggles with acne. At MODA, we’re here to help you address acne scars with advanced, personalized treatments, restoring your confidence and skin health.

Overview

Acne scars form when acne causes significant inflammation, damaging the deeper layers of the skin. These scars can take various forms, each requiring specific treatment approaches:
  • Depressed Acne Scars:
    • Rolling Scars: Wavy texture in the skin.
    • Boxcar Scars: Broad, box-like depressions resembling enlarged pores.
    • Ice Pick Scars: Deep pits with narrow openings.
  • Raised Acne Scars:
    • Keloids: Raised scars that extend beyond the original acne lesion, appearing thick and rubbery.
    • Hypertrophic Scars: Raised scars that grow over the acne lesion itself.
  • Skin Color Changes Spots:
    • Pigmented spots where acne lesions once were, appearing as pink, red, or purple discoloration.
Acne scars often require a comprehensive and aggressive approach to achieve noticeable improvements.

Treatment Options

At MODA, we offer a variety of advanced treatments to address all types of acne scars. After assessing your skin during a consultation, we’ll develop a customized treatment plan that may include one or a combination of the following:

1. SkinPen Microneedling

  • Stimulates collagen and elastin production to smooth indented scars.
  • Safe for most skin types with minimal downtime.

2. SylfirmX RF Microneedling

  • Combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to break down fibrous scar tissue.
  • Enhances collagen production for smoother texture and improved scar color.

3. Subcision

  •  A minimally invasive procedure that releases tethered scar tissue under the skin.
  • Promotes collagen production, smoothing the surface as the skin heals.

4. Dermal Filler Injections

  • Microdroplets of filler lift and smooth deeper scars for immediate improvement.

5. IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)

Targets discoloration and pigmentation associated with acne scars. IPL reduces redness, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone while stimulating collagen for improved texture. It’s non-invasive with minimal downtime and works well in combination with other treatments for optimal results.

Combination Treatments

Achieving optimal results often requires a multi-modal approach. For example:

  • SylfirmX RF Microneedling can be paired with subcision to release tethered scars and stimulate healing.
  • Fillers can address deeper depressions following other scar treatments.

Our experts will design a plan tailored to your skin’s needs and treatment goals.
