Almost everyone has acne breakouts, especially during the teen and early adult years. Larger pimples can cause scarring that impacts the complexion of the skin for many years. Acne scars can leave indents and discolorations that can affect the appearance and self-confidence of the individual. As part of our med spa services at Maia Plastic Surgery, we offer effective acne scar treatments that can diminish these skin flaws at our clinic in Tysons Corner, VA.

Acne scars can create pitting in the skin, known as ice pick scarring. This scarring changes the texture of the skin, and cannot be hidden, even with makeup. Acne can also cause pigment changes that result in darker spots or scars on the skin. Scars are difficult to remove completely, but you can vastly improve the texture and tone of acne-scarred skin with certain medical skin treatments.

Cosmetic Procedures for Acne Scar Removal

Depending on the severity and type of acne scars, several cosmetic procedures can improve the appearance of the skin. Laser skin treatments can be used to reduce pigmentations in dark acne scars, fading them away and creating even skin tone. Dermabrasion treatments can exfoliate the skin and smooth the texture. We also have collagen induction treatments that can help improve the tone and texture of the skin to fade acne scarring. Our med spa treatment professionals at Maia Plastic Surgery can determine the best acne scar treatments to fade discolorations and smooth indents on the skin for a better complexion.

Most acne scar treatments are non-invasive and require little to no downtime after the procedure. Your skin can appear smoother and healthier, without the leftover indents or dark scars from old acne breakouts.
