Improve Skin Texture and Restore Smoother Skin
Acne scars develop when inflammation from breakouts damages collagen within the skin. When this occurs, the skin may heal unevenly, creating depressions, rough texture, or visible irregularities. Unlike active acne, these structural changes require targeted treatments that stimulate collagen remodeling and controlled resurfacing.
At Tailored Aesthetics Medical Spa, our acne scar treatments in Escalon, CA, use advanced Sciton laser technology to stimulate deep collagen regeneration and refine damaged skin. By improving the skin’s underlying structure, these treatments gradually smooth uneven texture and restore a more balanced, refined appearance over time.
Types of Acne Scars
Acne scarring can vary significantly in shape and depth. Identifying the type of scarring helps determine the most appropriate treatment approach. Common types include:
- Ice Pick Scars: Narrow, deep scars that extend into the dermis
- Boxcar Scars: Wider depressions with defined edges
- Rolling Scars: Shallow, wave-like texture caused by collagen damage
- Textural Irregularities: Uneven skin surface left after inflammatory acne
Because scar patterns often vary across the skin, treatment plans are customized to address multiple scar types safely and effectively.
Best Treatments for Acne Scars
HALO® Hybrid Fractional Laser
HALO® combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to treat both the surface and deeper layers of the skin. This hybrid approach stimulates collagen remodeling while resurfacing damaged tissue, helping improve scarred skin texture, overall smoothness, and skin tone.
ProFractional® Laser
ProFractional® is a customizable fractional resurfacing treatment designed specifically for deeper skin texture irregularities caused by breakouts. By creating precise micro-channels in the skin, it stimulates collagen regeneration and gradually softens scar depth.
Contour TRL®
Contour TRL® provides deeper laser resurfacing for patients with more significant post-breakout scarring. This fully ablative technology removes damaged skin layers with precision while triggering substantial collagen remodeling for dramatic skin renewal.
BBL HEROic™
While resurfacing lasers improve scarred skin texture, BBL HEROic™ can help address residual pigmentation or redness often associated with previous breakouts. This broadband light treatment improves overall skin tone and supports long-term skin rejuvenation.
What to Expect
- Multiple treatments may be recommended depending on scar depth
- Collagen remodeling continues gradually over several months
- Skin texture becomes smoother and more refined over time
- Improvements develop progressively as the skin regenerates
Because collagen regeneration occurs slowly, optimal results often continue developing for several months following treatment.

FAQs
What causes acne scars?
Acne scars develop when inflammation damages the skin’s collagen structure during the healing process. Severe breakouts, delayed treatment, or repeated inflammation can increase the likelihood of permanent textural changes.
Can acne scars be completely removed?
Most post-acne scarring cannot be completely erased, but advanced laser treatments can significantly improve its appearance by stimulating collagen remodeling and smoothing uneven skin texture.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments depends on the type, depth, and severity of scarring. Many patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart for progressive improvement.
How long does it take to see results?
Some improvement may be visible after healing, but collagen remodeling continues for several months. Skin texture gradually becomes smoother as new collagen forms beneath the surface.
Are acne scar treatments safe for all skin types?
Many modern laser technologies can be customized for different skin types. A consultation is required to assess skin tone, scar depth, and potential pigment risks before treatment.
Is there downtime after acne scar treatments?
Downtime varies depending on the treatment selected. Some treatments involve minimal recovery, while deeper resurfacing procedures may require several days of healing.
