Which type of acne scar do you have?

Different scars respond differently, so identifying yours is the first thing we do at your consultation.

Rolling scarsWide, shallow dips that make the skin look uneven. They respond best to collagen stimulation.
Boxcar scarsSharp-edged, crater-like marks. They improve noticeably with combined sessions.
Ice pick scarsNarrow and deep. They do improve, but usually need more sessions.
Post-acne marksRed or brown spots without indentation. Treated with peels, brightening actives and daily sunscreen.

How we treat acne scars, step by step

  1. Calm active breakouts. If you still get acne, we get it under control first with a deep facial cleanse and a facial peel.
  2. Build new collagen. Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels that gradually lift scars from within.
  3. Boost repair. In the same session we apply regenerative actives: salmon DNA (PDRN), PRP or exosomes.
  4. Protect your results. Hydration with skin boosters and daily sunscreen.

Treatment options and prices

  • Microneedling + PRP: from COP 350,000 per area. Good for mild scarring and maintenance.

What results to expect

  • Improvement is gradual: new collagen keeps forming for weeks after each session.
  • Most patients need 3 to 6 sessions, 4 to 6 weeks apart.
  • A realistic goal is smoother texture and shallower scars. Deep scars rarely disappear completely, and we will be upfront about that.
  • Expect mild redness for 1 to 3 days after each session.

Acne scar treatment FAQ

Can acne scars be removed completely?

They can improve a lot, but deep scars rarely go away 100%. Most patients see noticeably smoother, more even skin.

Can I treat scars if I still get breakouts?

Breakouts need to be controlled first. In the meantime we can work with facials and peels, then start on the scars once your skin is calm.

Does it work on old scars?

Yes. Even scars you have had for years still respond to collagen stimulation.

What about dark marks left by acne?

Dark marks are not indentations, so they are treated differently, with peels, brightening actives and sunscreen. We often address them in the same plan.

How much does a full treatment cost?

It depends on your scar type and the number of sessions. We give you a plan with the total cost before you start.
