Acne scars form when deep inflammation damages collagen during the healing process. They may appear as pitted (atrophic), raised (hypertrophic), or discolored marks, leaving the skin surface uneven and irregular.

First-line care options include microneedling or RF microneedling to remodel collagen and soften depressions, TCA chemical peels or custom peels to resurface and even tone, and laser/light treatments such as IPL or Sciton Moxi to improve texture and discoloration. DiamondGlow and dermaplaning may be used to enhance skin smoothness as part of a comprehensive plan.

Adults with visible post-acne scarring, good general health, and realistic expectations seeking gradual, non-surgical skin improvement.
