Acne & Scar Treatment
Restore smooth, radiant skin with our tailored solutions
How acne scars are formed?
Acne scars develop when deep inflammation within the skin damages tissue and disrupts the skin’s healing process. This can lead to collagen loss (depressed scars) or excess collagen production (raised scars). Appropriate skincare can help prevent long-term scarring, while Laser and radiofrequency (RF) mirconeedling can reduce the appearance of existing acne scars.
types of
Acne Scars
Ice Pick Scars
Ice pick scars are deep, narrow indentations that extend into the dermis, often resembling enlarged pores or tiny puncture marks. Because they reach below the skin’s surface, they respond best to Morpheus8 RF Microneedling, which delivers radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen remodeling at deeper levels. A series of treatments can significantly smooth the skin and reduce scar depth.
Boxcar Scars
Boxcar scars are broad, round or oval depressions with well-defined edges, caused by collagen loss after inflammation. The most effective treatment combines Morpheus8 RF Microneedling for structural remodeling and LaseMD Ultra for resurfacing and texture refinement. This dual approach targets both the depth and surface irregularities, restoring smoother, more even skin.
Rolling Scars
Rolling scars appear as soft, wave-like depressions caused by tethering of the skin to deeper tissue. Treatment focuses on breaking these fibrous bands and stimulating new collagen. A combination of LaseMD Ultra to resurface the skin and Morpheus8 RF Microneedling to tighten and lift underlying layers provides excellent improvement in skin smoothness and tone.
Hypertrophic (Keloid) Scars
Hypertrophic and keloid scars are raised, firm, and sometimes itchy areas that result from overproduction of collagen during healing. These scars are best treated with corticosteroid injections, which help flatten and soften scar tissue over time. For residual redness or uneven texture, LaseMD Ultra can be used later to refine and even the skin tone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Clarity and Confidence, Every Step of the Way
How do I know which acne-scar treatment protocol is right for me?
During your initial consultation, our provider will perform a detailed skin analysis to assess scar type, depth, and pigmentation. Based on your goals, we’ll recommend the most effective plan — whether that’s Glow Lite for texture refinement, Radiant Repair for deeper scars, or Complete Clarity for comprehensive correction.
Is there downtime after each treatment?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or flaking for 1–3 days after LaseMD Ultra, and up to 5 days following Morpheus8. Most patients comfortably return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.
Are results permanent?
While acne scars don’t typically return, natural aging and collagen loss continue over time. Regular maintenance treatments through AlohiCare+ help preserve your smooth, even complexion.
