Get answers to common questions about Acne Scars.

Most clients require 1–3 sessions spaced eight to twelve weeks apart depending on scar severity. Deeper scars may need additional treatments; your technician will assess skin and recommend a personalized plan to achieve optimal collagen remodeling and visible improvement.

Downtime typically lasts seven to ten days of visible crusting and redness, with full healing over several weeks. Most people resume light activities quickly; avoid heavy exercise, sun exposure, and irritating products during recovery.

Most clients report mild to moderate discomfort controlled with topical numbing cream applied before the procedure. Sensations are brief during treatment and pain subsides quickly; post-procedure tenderness is manageable with recommended care and over-the-counter analgesics.

Ideal candidates are generally in good health with realistic expectations and stable skin, seeking non-surgical scar improvement. Active acne, certain skin conditions, or recent isotretinoin use may require evaluation before treatment.

You may notice initial tightening and texture improvement within two to four weeks, while collagen remodeling continues for three to six months. Optimal scar reduction is seen gradually as new tissue forms and matures over time.

Protect treated skin with gentle cleansing, prescribed ointments, and broad-spectrum SPF daily. Avoid picking crusts, heavy makeup, saunas, and direct sun for several weeks. Follow your technician's specific instructions to support healing and maximize results.
