Acne Scars: What Treatments & Products Should I Use?

Dealing with acne scars can be a frustrating experience, but at Canvas Skin, we’re here to help you achieve smoother, more even-toned skin. Whether your scars are from past breakouts or long-standing blemishes, there are effective treatments and products designed to minimize their appearance. Let’s explore the best options for addressing acne scars and how Canvas Skin can support your journey to glowing skin.

Understanding Acne Scars

Acne scars form when deep inflammation damages the skin's tissue, leaving behind textural changes or pigmentation issues. There are several types of scars, including:

  • Atrophic scars: Indented scars such as ice pick, boxcar, or rolling scars.

  • Hyperpigmentation: Dark spots left after acne clears, often referred to as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

  • Hypertrophic scars: Raised scars, which are less common but still frustrating.

Identifying the type of scars you have is the first step in selecting the right treatment plan.

Best Treatments for Acne Scars at Canvas Skin

  1. Microneedling with or without PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)
    Microneedling stimulates collagen production by creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin. This process helps smooth out the texture of scars over time. Adding PRF, a natural serum derived from your blood, enhances healing and amplifies results.

  2. MOXI Laser Treatments
    MOXI is a non-invasive laser that improves skin texture and tone. It's gentle yet effective in reducing discoloration and refining scarred areas. Plus, it’s safe for all skin tones and requires minimal downtime.

  3. Chemical Peels (Including BioRePeel)
    Exfoliating away the top layers of skin can significantly improve the appearance of acne scars. BioRePeel is a favorite at Canvas Skin—it rejuvenates the skin while minimizing redness and irritation.

  4. Aquagold Fine Touch
    This treatment infuses a custom cocktail of skin-loving ingredients directly into the skin through a microchanneling device. It’s perfect for reducing pigmentation and enhancing the skin's overall glow.

  5. Custom Skincare Regimens
    Every scar tells a story, and your skincare routine should address your unique concerns. At Canvas Skin, we can create a personalized regimen tailored to your skin type and goals.

Top Products for Acne Scars

In addition to in-office treatments, consistent use of targeted skincare products can accelerate healing and prevent future scarring.

  • Nué Skin Weekly Peel Pads
    These gentle yet effective peel pads help resurface the skin, reducing the appearance of scars and revealing a brighter complexion.

  • Imera Toner Pads
    Packed with exfoliating and clarifying ingredients, these pads work to minimize clogged pores and lighten pigmentation.

  • Ela Radiance Pads
    For ultimate skin renewal, these pads brighten and smooth skin texture while promoting a healthy glow.

    This clarifying face wash, enriched with 2% salicylic acid and natural botanicals, helps clear up existing blemishes while preventing future breakouts.

  • New Sol All-Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50
