Restore smoother, more refined skin by addressing acne scars, lingering discoloration, or post-acne depressions. At Nova Aesthetics, we offer personalized acne scar treatment, using advanced, medical-grade solutions to renew your complexion in a luxurious setting.

Restore Smoother,
More Even Skin

Acne scars are lasting changes in your skin that develop after inflamed blemishes damage the deeper layers of tissue. As your skin heals, collagen production may become uneven, creating depressions, raised areas, or changes in texture. Some people may also experience lingering discoloration after acne clears. The type and severity of acne scars vary based on the extent of inflammation, your skin’s healing response, and other individual factors.

Common Signs and Symptoms of Acne Scars:

Depressed or pitted areas in the skin
Raised, thickened patches following severe acne
Uneven skin texture and surface irregularities
Rolling, boxcar, or ice pick scar patterns
Areas of skin that appear indented under certain lighting
Persistent post-acne discoloration or dark marks
Reduced skin smoothness despite acne resolution
Skin that feels rough or irregular to the touch

Your Acne Scar Treatment Options

Every complexion is unique, so your treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation and skin assessment. At Nova Aesthetics, we curate a treatment plan based on your scar type, skin condition, goals, and lifestyle, often combining multiple therapies to achieve smoother skin.

Microneedling

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate the production of natural collagen and elastin. Over time, this helps soften the appearance of acne scars, improve skin texture, and promote a smoother, more even complexion with minimal downtime.

Morpheus8 RF Microneedling

Morpheus8 RF Microneedling combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy delivered into deeper tissue layers. This treatment remodels collagen, addresses deeper acne scars, improves firmness, and enhances overall texture for comprehensive skin rejuvenation.

Chemical Peels

Medical-grade chemical peels remove damaged outer skin layers while encouraging cellular turnover. Depending on your skin type and scar severity, customized peels can improve discoloration, refine texture, and gradually minimize the appearance of superficial scars.

Advantages of Acne Scar Treatments:

Smoother, more even skin texture
Softer appearance of depressed acne scars
Improved skin tone and reduced discoloration

Refined pores and enhanced skin quality

FAQs

Can All Types of Acne Scars Be Treated?

Most acne scars can be improved, although the best treatment depends on the type of scarring you have. Ice pick, boxcar, rolling, and raised acne scars each respond differently to various procedures. Your provider evaluates your skin and recommends a customized plan to address your specific concerns.

How Many Treatment Sessions Will I Need?

The number of sessions varies based on the severity of your scars, your skin type, and the treatments selected. Many people benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart to allow collagen remodeling and skin healing.

Will My Acne Scars Come Back After Treatment?

Once acne scars have been successfully improved, they do not return. However, developing new inflammatory acne can create additional scars. Maintaining a healthy skincare routine and treating active acne promptly can preserve your results and reduce the risk of future scarring.
