Acne Scars

At LightRx, we know how difficult dealing with acne can be. From redness and inflammation to the lingering scars it may leave behind, we understand that you want to get back to your clear complexion as soon as possible. That’s why we offer acne scar treatment through laser skin resurfacing and skin rejuvenation. Whether your goal is to clear your skin or you’re ready to try anti-aging treatments like skin tightening, we’re here to help.

This webpage will cover both of those medspa treatments and the technology we utilize for those treatments. You will also find the answers to the most frequently asked questions that our staff of cosmetic professionals hear about these treatments.

Acne scar treatment is a medical spa treatment that uses lasers, radiofrequency energy, and other advanced technologies to reduce the appearance of scars left behind by acne. This may include everything from redness and inflammation to deep scarring caused by severe breakouts and cystic acne.

Laser skin resurfacing (also known as laser resurfacing) is an advanced treatment option that uses high-powered lasers to refresh the top layer of skin, promoting healing and new collagen growth in the affected area. This can help reduce redness, inflammation, and other symptoms of acne scars and dead skin cells, allowing you to achieve smoother, clearer skin. 

Laser resurfacing is safe for all types of acne scars, including depressed scars. It works for all skin types and skin tones, including lighter skin.

Skin rejuvenation covers a variety of non-invasive options for treating acne scars. Treatments involve skin care, radio frequency technology, and ultrasound technology to encourage new  collagen production in the affected area. It helps to reduce inflammation, diminish redness, and other symptoms of acne scars, and leave your skin looking smoother and healthier. 

Skin rejuvenation is also safe for all types of acne scars including depressed scars, as well as all skin types and skin tones including lighter skin.

At LightRx, we offer a variety of advanced medspa technologies for treating acne scarring to suit your needs. These include Venus Viva, HydraFacial, Sofwave, and Aerolase Neo Elite – each of which utilizes different methods and technologies to reduce the appearance of acne scars. Whether you’re looking for innovative skincare treatments or something more powerful and effective, we have you covered.

Venus Viva is a state-of-the-art treatment that uses NanoFractional radio frequency technology and magnetic pulses to reduce the appearance of acne scars. This treatment penetrates deep into the skin, stimulating new collagen production and healing in the affected area. This option for treating acne scarring also hydrates your skin and removes dead skin cells.

HydraFacial is a medical spa skin rejuvenation treatment that uses patented technology to deeply cleanse, exfoliate and hydrate the skin. This helps reduce inflammation and redness associated with acne scars, while also stimulating new collagen production for a more even complexion.

Sofwave is a non-invasive acne scar treatment that uses ultrasound technology to improve the appearance of scars and other signs of aging. This technology works by penetrating deep into the skin, encouraging new collagen production and healing on a cellular level.

Aerolase Neo Elite is a powerful and aggressive acne scar treatment option that utilizes a high-powered laser to penetrate deep into the skin and break up scar tissue. This allows for healing on a cellular level and improved collagen production, ultimately reducing the appearance of redness, inflammation, and other symptoms associated with acne scars.

The number of sessions you need will depend on the severity of your acne scars, as well as other factors like your skin type and age. Your LightRx technician can help you develop a customized treatment plan based on your individual needs.

The length of time that each session takes will also vary depending on the type of treatment you are opting for and other factors, such as the size of the affected area. Typically, most treatments take between 30-60 minutes.

Depending on the type of treatment you are opting for, acne scar treatment may involve some mild discomfort. At LightRx, we use a variety of advanced technologies and techniques to minimize any discomfort or pain during your session.

There is no downtime required for treating acne scars, but your skin may be sensitive and tender while your skin heals. Your LightRx technician can provide more information about your specific treatment plan and what to expect during your recovery period. They will also advise you on how to treat your skin while it heals.

The results of acne scar treatments typically last for several months or longer, depending on the treatment. However, it is important to remember that your results may vary depending on your body’s response and other factors like age, health, and lifestyle. For best results, your technician may recommend a series of treatments or regular maintenance.
