Acne Scar Treatment in Los Angeles
Acne Scar Treatment In Los Angeles Procedure
Acne is a skin condition that involves the oil glands and hormones. We will custom-design a treatment regimen unique to you and your individual life style. Our treatment of acne is fast, effective and growing in popularity. Safer than oral medications, the cosmetic appearance of inflamed and nodular skin is improved and patient satisfaction is high. We offer a long-term solution by directly altering the structure and function of the sebaceous (oil) glands, causing them to produce less oil which drastically reduces acne lesions without significant side effects.

Acne Scar Treatment in Los Angeles: Treating Breakouts and the Marks They Leave
Clearing active acne and repairing the scars it leaves behind are two different jobs, and the order matters. Treating scars while breakouts are still active can lead to disappointing results, so our acne program usually starts by controlling inflammation, then moves to texture and discoloration. If you are looking for acne scar treatment in Los Angeles, your provider at Spade Skin Care will first assess the type of acne and scarring you have.
Active Acne Treatment: Getting Breakouts Under Control
Acne treatment at our medical spa is based on your skin type, the type of lesions you have, and how your skin tolerates products. Your provider may discuss a combination of medical-grade skincare, chemical peels, and in-office care, and may recommend working with your primary care provider or a dermatologist if prescription therapy is appropriate. Consistency matters as much as the treatments themselves, and results vary.
Understanding Acne Scars
Not all marks are scars, and not all scars are the same:
| Type | What it looks like | Common approach |
|---|---|---|
| Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation | Flat brown or red marks that follow a breakout | Peels, pigment-targeting light or laser, sun protection |
| Atrophic (indented) scars | Rolling, boxcar or ice-pick shaped depressions | Microneedling, radiofrequency, fractional laser |
| Raised scars | Thickened tissue above the skin surface | Assessed individually by your provider |
Many people have a mix. A careful assessment distinguishes a surface mark that may fade from a true texture change that needs collagen remodeling.
Laser Acne Scar Removal and Other Options
Laser acne scar removal is a common phrase, though the more accurate description is scar improvement. Scars are rarely erased. The goal is to improve their appearance. Depending on your skin, your provider may discuss:
- CO2RE fractional CO2 laser. Creates tiny, controlled columns of treated tissue to encourage skin remodeling, which may improve texture and indented scars. It involves more downtime than gentler options.
- MatrixPro microneedling. Uses fine needles to stimulate collagen and may help soften mild to moderate textural irregularities, with typically shorter recovery.
- Morpheus8. Combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy that reaches deeper layers and may improve the look of scarring and skin firmness.
- PicoWay or IPL. May be considered for red or brown marks left behind by breakouts.
- Chemical peels. Can help refine tone and surface texture.
These are options to discuss, not a package. Your provider matches the technology to your scars and skin tone because stronger treatments carry a higher risk of pigment changes in some skin types.
Is Now the Right Time to Treat Scars?
Generally, scar treatment works best when breakouts are calm. Your provider may also ask you to pause certain products or medications before laser or microneedling. Tell us about everything you use, including prescription acne medicines.
What to Expect From Treatment?
Plans usually involve a series of visits spaced weeks apart, and the number varies by scar type and the technology used. Redness, swelling, and sensitivity are common after more intensive options, and your provider will provide detailed aftercare instructions. Daily sunscreen is essential, since sun can darken healing skin. Improvement is gradual, and results vary.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are my treatment options?
Not all acnes are the same. We encourage you to schedule your complimentary initial consultation with our team to build acustom-design a treatment regimen unique to you and your individual life style. Our goal is to help people feel and look their best and most beautiful! We not only care about the way you look, we care about how you feel.
When will you see results?
Effects are cumulative. After the first treatment, you may see improvements; however the number of lesions and severity of break-outs should reduce over the full course of treatment and beyond. Some patients continue to improve two months after their last treatment.
How often can you have it done?
We will be able to determine the exact treatment during your initial complimentary appointment.
What can you expect immediately after treatment?
Immediately following the procedure you may experience some redness and slight swelling. The redness and swelling usually dissipate over the course of that day.
Treatment for acne scars?
Laser Skin Resurfacing is the most effective means for acne scar treatment. It involves the use of a laser which removes the upper layers of dead skin, the epidermis, and in many cases removes part of the dermis which is necessary to treat certain acne scars. This is the best acne scar treatment for light to medium scars. We have treated many patients with our Nd: Yag laser technology.
