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.

Payton made my face look radiant. She was so good at her profession, explained each step and was so pleasant to spend the hour with. I’ll be back with her again !!!
Caroline is just the best. She is very down to earth listens and recommends what is best for you. I am about the natural look atnd Caroline is right on board with that.
So thankful to find Dr. Leiman! I had such a wonderful experience with her and her team yesterday. From the moment I walked in, I felt seen and cared for. She sat down with me, took her time, and made me feel completely at ease. She walked me through everything so thoughtfully, and now we have a plan in place for my skin. I went in feeling a little down on myself — vulnerable and unsure — and she met me with such kindness and compassion. Her words, her energy, her presence… it was exactly what I needed. I left her office feeling hopeful, empowered, and honestly, like a weight had been lifted. So grateful for her heart and expertise — I truly feel like I’m in the best hands.
Truly love any visit to Elite, it is the most rewarding experience from start to finish. NP Leanne is the absolute BEST! She is an expert in all things injectables and gives the most insightful explanation of the entire process and physiology behind it. Her work is precise, painless, and so effective. Have also received fabulous lymphatic drainage massage here too. The interior environment of the spa is beautiful, clean and aesthetically pleasing. I would absolutely recommend Elite to anyone, and visits here are a necessity to any self-care, medspa, and wellness routine!
This is my first visit here and my first hydrafacial with boosters. I was beyond pleased with my experience. My aesthetician Eva was amazing. So pleasant. She did amazing work. So knowledgeable. My skin was glowing. I would highly recommend this Elite Med Spa in Needham and services they offer. I booked another facial before I left. Excellence. Thank you to my daughter in law Jennie Kenneway for giving me this great Mothers Day gift.
Came in for a blood test. I was greeted by a very welcoming front desk staff. The place is serene, immaculately clean, celebrating minimalistic aesthetic, has a good overall feel. Phlebotomy was performed with remarkable skilled and super quick. The whole experience was very personable, the entire staff appeared to care about my comfort, I would venture to say they love working at Elite Medspa + Wellness Center. Looking forward to my next visit. Plenty of parking.
There are too many wonderful things about Elite Med Spa! It’s always so wonderful to walk in and see Ashley and Maria smiling right behind the doors. The whole staff is incredible, but I have to praise Payton for absolutely changing my skin. I always look forward to our monthly Hydrafacial, and recently we switched it up with the Skin Pen microneedling. I’m loving my results thus far and would recommend anyone to go see Payton if they’re looking to relax while making some great progress on their skin. Five stars simply isn’t enough for the Elite team!
I had a Sylfirm done with Nicole. My second series with her. She’s very professional and informative. She makes you feel at ease and comfortable. After the procedure is done, it makes my skin feel brand new. I have more firmness, less wrinkles and a glow. I’m in my 60’s and I get complimented on my skin all the time. Definitely go book a Sylfirm with Nicole, don’t wait!
