Reveal clearer, more confident skin by addressing the stubborn aftermath of acne: pitted scars, uneven texture, and discoloration. At Honey Skincare Studio, we tailor every acne scar treatment to ensure lasting, transformative results.
Reduce Blemish Marks and Refine Tone
Acne scars are the lingering marks left behind after breakouts have healed. If you’re noticing dents, raised areas, or dark spots that won’t fade, you’re likely dealing with post-acne scarring. These scars form when inflammation damages your skin’s deeper layers, often from cystic acne or picking. At Honey Skincare Studio, we understand how frustrating it can be when your skin doesn’t reflect how you feel inside. That’s why we offer advanced, results-driven treatments to smooth, even, and restore your complexion.
Signs and Symptoms of Acne Scars:
- Pitted or depressed areas on the skin
- Raised or thickened scar tissue
- Uneven skin texture
- Persistent red or brown marks
- Shadows or indentations in certain lighting
- Discoloration that lingers after breakouts
- Skin that appears rough or bumpy
AviClear Acne Laser
AviClear uses a 1726 nm wavelength laser to target and suppress overactive sebaceous glands, the root cause of acne, while minimizing post-inflammatory pigmentation and preventing future breakouts that can lead to new scarring. By calming sebum production and reducing inflammation, this FDA-cleared treatment helps establish long-term skin clarity.
Microneedling
Microneedling involves creating thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin using ultra-fine needles. This process triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. Over time, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more evenly toned, reducing the visibility of depressed acne scars and fine lines.
Your Acne Scar Treatment Options
RF Microneedling
Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling combines the collagen-boosting power of traditional microneedling with heat-based energy delivered into deeper dermal layers. This dual-action process tightens skin, rebuilds damaged tissue, and significantly improves the appearance of pitted scars and skin laxity, especially for more advanced scarring and textural concerns.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels work by applying a customized solution of acids, such as glycolic, salicylic, or trichloroacetic acid, to exfoliate the top layers of skin. This helps break down surface pigment, fade discoloration, and stimulate cellular turnover. Peels are particularly effective for addressing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and uneven tone caused by acne scars.
Facials
Medical-grade facials combine exfoliation, deep cleansing, hydration, and targeted ingredients to improve skin health and texture. While not as intensive as lasers or microneedling, facials support scar treatment by reducing inflammation, enhancing circulation, and preparing your skin to respond more effectively to advanced corrective procedures.
