Bye-bye Acne Scars
Occasional pimples are one thing, frequent flare-ups and their resulting acne scars are something altogether different. The bumpy skin texture that develops after a flare-up can make us feel seriously self-conscious. These scars come in all shapes and sizes, including:
- Ice Pick Scars: These scars feature an indentation that is wide at the top and narrows as it gets deeper. They can commonly be found on your forehead and upper cheeks, where your skin is thinner.
- Rolling Scars: These scars feature indents that have sloping edges, making skin look uneven and wavy. They can typically be found on the lower cheeks and jaw, where your skin is thicker.
- Boxcar Scars: These scars have sharper edges that go down deep into the skin. These scars are common on the lower checks and jaw.

Treatments For Acne Scars
At Wave Medical Aesthetics, we offer the Secret™ RF Microneedling treatment to address acne scar removal. This device uses microneedles against the skin’s surface, triggering a healing response. As the needles work, they release radiofrequency energy into the skin’s deeper layers.
This process firms up tissue, remodels collagen, and diminishes scars. Besides being an excellent scar treatment, Secret™ is also great for reducing wrinkles and improving the texture of your skin. If you’re seeking an effective acne scar treatment, we’re here to help restore your confidence and rejuvenate your skin.
FAQ'S
How Do Acne Scars Form?
Acne scars happen after acne blemishes become inflamed. The skin’s pores swell, and its walls break down. Sometimes the contents of blemishes spill into the surrounding tissue and cause deeper scars. The skin sends out collagen into the area to repair the damage.
Scars can either be indented or raised on the surface of the skin. Indented scars happen because of tissue loss, while raised scars happen when too much collagen is sent to the area for repair. People who are prone to acne and scarring often exhibit a mix of both.
What Are the Best Options for Treating Acne Scars?
There are several options available for acne scar treatment depending on the severity and type of scars. At Wave Medical Aesthetics, we offer RF Microneedling to stimulate collagen production and promote smoother skin. This scar treatment helps diminish the appearance of scars while improving overall texture.
How Long Does It Take to See Results?
Results vary, but most patients start noticing improvements in skin texture and scarring after a few sessions of acne scar treatment. Continued treatments may be recommended for long-lasting results.
Are There Any Side Effects?
Mild redness and swelling are common immediately after treatment, but these effects typically subside within a few days. Most clients can resume normal activities shortly after their session.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions required depends on the severity of the scarring and the individual’s response to treatment. Your clinician will create a personalized plan for acne scar removal based on your needs.
ARE YOU A CANDIDATE?
The best way to determine your candidacy for treatments is to schedule a consult.
