Acne may fade, but the acne scars don’t always follow. At Verve, we offer advanced non-surgical options for acne scar treatment that restore smoother texture without the need for invasive procedures.
How Can Acne Scars Be Treated?
Depending on the type and depth of your acne scars, Dr. Bracci may recommend one or both of the following:
- Fraxel for acne scars – a non-ablative laser that stimulates new collagen production beneath the skin’s surface without damaging the outer layer. It’s ideal for softening pitted or textured scars.
- Dermal fillers – for both superficial and deeper, indented scars, injectable fillers can be the most efficient way to restore volume and smoothness to the skin. These fillers work in the skin itself and beneath the surface to lift and re-contour areas affected by scarring.
Both treatments are well-tolerated, with minimal downtime and long-term results.
What’s the Best Treatment for Acne Scars in NYC?
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. The best laser for acne scars, or filler approach, depends on the type of scars you have and the condition of your skin. During your consultation, we’ll assess whether laser, fillers, or a combination will give you the best results.
Can Fraxel Laser Help With Deep Acne Scars?
Yes. Fraxel for acne scars works by triggering the body’s collagen response in the dermis, which gradually improves skin texture and minimizes the appearance of deeper scars. Results build over time with repeated treatments.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Most patients start to see visible improvement after 3 to 5 sessions, spaced several weeks apart. The exact number of sessions will depend on the severity of your acne scars and your overall skin goals.
