Scarring (Acne Scars, Surgical Scars)
What Causes Skin Scarring?
Scarring happens when the skin's healing process produces irregular collagen, either too much in the case of raised scars, or too little in the case of depressed scars like the pitting left by acne. These marks affect skin texture and the way light reflects off the skin, making them appear more prominent than their actual size suggests. Scars are stubborn, but they're not permanent. Elite MedSpa uses treatments that rebuild the skin from the inside out, working with your skin's natural repair mechanisms to fill in, smooth, and fade what's been left behind.

How We Can Treat Your Concern
Frequently Asked Questions
Rolling and boxcar scars, the broader more depressed types, tend to respond very well to microneedling and resurfacing. Ice pick scars, which are deep and narrow, can be more challenging and may benefit from a combination approach. We'll assess your scar types at your consultation.
Improvement develops progressively. You may notice some initial smoothing within weeks of your first treatment, with the most significant changes appearing two to three months after a series is complete as collagen continues to remodel.
No. Fresh surgical scars need time to mature before any professional treatment can begin, typically at least six months. Starting too early can disrupt the healing process. Once the scar has matured, treatment is highly effective.
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to ensure your comfort. Most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure rather than pain. Post-treatment, the skin may feel warm or tight for a day or two.
