Acne scar revision

Inkless revision that smooths texture, softens pitted and rolling acne scarring, and evens skin tone — using collagen induction rather than pigment, with protocols safe across all skin tones.

What this addresses

  • Pitted and rolling acne scarring on the cheeks and temples
  • Uneven texture across previously inflamed areas
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation left behind by acne
  • Acne scarring on the back and shoulders
  • Dark marks on melanin-rich skin where aggressive treatment carries risk

Who this is for

  • Active acne is controlled — treatment is for scarring left behind, not ongoing breakouts
  • You are not currently on isotretinoin, and have been off it long enough for your physician to clear treatment
  • Your skin is otherwise healthy and healing normally
  • All skin tones, including those prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation

How It Works

About this treatment

This work uses no pigment. Controlled collagen induction prompts the skin to remodel its own texture, which is what softens pitted scarring and evens tone over time.

Skin prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation needs a more conservative approach than is commonly used — overly aggressive treatment can leave darker marks than the ones being treated. Protocols here are built around that risk rather than ignoring it.

Results build gradually and are assessed at full heal.

Before Anything Is Scheduled

Your virtual consultation is free

Every case is different. Scar age, size, texture, skin tone, and any prior treatment all change what a plan looks like — which is why pricing is never quoted sight unseen. Your virtual consultation costs nothing, and you leave it knowing whether you're a candidate, what the plan involves, and exactly what it costs before you commit to anything.

Common Questions

Acne Scar Revision

Is this the same as microneedling?

It uses collagen induction, the same underlying principle, applied with paramedical protocols developed for scar tissue and calibrated to skin tone.

Can you treat acne scars on dark skin?

Yes, and conservatively by design. Deeper skin tones are more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, so treatment is adjusted rather than applied uniformly.

Do I need to stop any medications first?

If you have taken isotretinoin, you will need physician clearance and a waiting period. Bring your full medication list to your consultation.

Will this help with active breakouts?

No. This addresses scarring left behind after acne is controlled. Active acne should be managed by a dermatologist first.
