Transform Acne Scars into Smooth, Healthy-Looking Skin

Acne scars can stick around long after pimples heal. Good news — modern options can soften or erase many scar types. This quick guide explains leading acne scar removal methods and what to expect. Read on to pick the best path for your skin.

Start with the right check

What scar type do you have — ice-pick, boxcar, or rolling? A short clinic visit gives that answer. Radiance Clinics offers assessment and a range of treatments so you get a plan made for your scars.

Radiofrequency microneedling (MNRF) — gentle but powerful

Tiny needles deliver heat into the skin. That boosts collagen and lifts depressed scars. MNRF works well on darker skin because it lowers the risk of dark marks. It usually needs a few sessions.

Fractional CO₂ laser — deep resurfacing

This laser resurfaces skin by creating tiny channels. It gives strong results for deep boxcar and rolling scars. Expect a few days to a couple of weeks of healing. You will need good aftercare and sun avoidance.

Erbium laser — faster recovery option

Erbium laser is less aggressive than CO₂. It suits moderate scars and heals quicker. If you want notable improvement with shorter downtime, ask about erbium.

Subcision + PRP — free the tethered scars

Subcision cuts fibrous bands that pull scars down. Adding PRP (platelet-rich plasma) speeds healing and supports new collagen. This combo is great for rolling scars.

Punch excision & grafts — fix deep narrow scars

For stubborn ice-pick scars, punch excision or punch grafting removes or fills the defect surgically. This is precise work and often followed by resurfacing for a smooth finish.

Dermaroller / microneedling — low downtime choice

Manual microneedling helps mild-to-moderate texture issues. It’s lower cost and fewer side effects. Often used with serums or PRP for better results.

What should you expect?

Most non-surgical options need multiple visits. Ablative lasers need longer recovery. Radiance Clinics lists expected sessions and will make a plan after exam. Ask about device brands and photos of past results. Also ask about risks for your skin tone and steps to prevent pigment changes.

Questions to ask your clinic

• Which treatment fits my scar type?
• How many sessions will I need?
• What’s the downtime and aftercare?
• Can I see before/after photos?
• What are costs and any follow-up included?

Final note

Choosing the right treatment matters. Radiance Clinics offers MNRF, fractional CO₂, erbium, dermaroller, subcision with PRP, and punch excision — so you can pick a tailored plan. Book an assessment and get a clear roadmap to smoother skin.
