Post-acne scarring can be a physically disabling and psychologically devastating disease. Acne scarring comes in many varieties from red/purple or dark spots, to shallow indentations to deep pitted scars to keloids.
Now, thanks to advances in medicine and technology, no one has to live with permanent scars and dark spots that can develop as acne clears. At Summit Medical Group, we offer our patients many safe and effective treatment options that can diminish those scars.
Whether to treat your acne scars is a personal decision that only you can make. We recommend that you make an appointment to discuss acne scar treatment if you experience any of the following:
You often wish you could get rid of your acne scars
You feel less self-confident than before you had acne scars
You are self-conscious about the scars
You feel that scars interfere with your social or professional activities
Treatment options we offer:
Fading creams, topical retinoids, light skin peels for residual hyperpigmentation
Broad band light for residual redness
MicroLaserPeel for shallow scarring
Acne scar surgery
Dermal filler injections
ProFractional Laser Resurfacing
Intralesional cortisone injections for hypertrophic or keloidal scars
