Acne & Old Surgical Scars
Surgical scars, whether from surgical acne removal or from any other medical procedure are often deeper and more difficult to address. However, with skin resurfacing treatments the body’s own collagen production is stimulated to significantly diminish any scars and imperfections.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do my acne or old surgery scars look the same even after so many years?
Some scars just behave weirdly. They heal in their own way and sometimes the skin doesn’t fix itself evenly. It’s not your fault. It’s just how the body reacts. That’s why even after years, the mark can still sit there like it’s not ready to leave.
Is it too late to treat old scars?
No, it’s not too late. People think old scars are “final,” but they’re not. Skin can still respond. I’ve seen people come in with scars from 10–15 years ago and they still improved. It might take a bit of time, but improvement is definitely possible.
How do I figure out what treatment my skin actually needs?
Honestly, you can’t tell just by looking in the mirror. Some scars look deep but aren’t, and some small ones are more stubborn. A proper look by a specialist makes the whole thing clearer. They can tell what your skin will respond to instead of guessing.
Will the treatments make my skin look strange or uneven?
No. The point isn’t to change how you look. It’s just to soften the scars so they blend better. Most people around you won’t even notice you’re doing anything—your skin just slowly starts looking smoother over time.
When will I see changes?
For most people, it’s gradual. Sometimes the first session gives a small push, sometimes it takes a couple of tries. Collagen takes its own sweet time to build, so improvements come little by little. But you’ll notice things looking calmer and smoother as the weeks pass.
What should I avoid while I’m getting scar treatments?
Try not to sit in strong sun. Skip picking at the skin (which everyone is tempted to do). And don’t use harsh scrubs or random skincare you saw online. Just keep things simple and gentle—that helps the skin heal better between sessions.
