Acne Scarring Solutions

Acne scars are the result of inflammation of acne blemishes.  The acne pore swells and a breakdown occurs in the wall of the pore.  Some acne blemishes are small and the scars created are shallow and heal quickly.  Sometimes the contents of blemishes spill into surrounding tissue and cause deeper scars.  The skin’s response is to repair the scar by forming new collagen fibres, resulting in an indentation in the surface of the skin;or, a scar develops that is raised on the surface of the skin.


We approach acne scars with exfoliating treatments that help stimulate cellular turnover as well as treatments that stimulate collagen and elastin and remove some of the superficial dead skin ( resurfacing ).

Venus Viva Resurfacing and Firming

Radiofrequency microneedling is a combination procedure, bringing together the radiofrequency waves used in RF skin treatments and microneedling to maximize the final outcome. Microneedling creates microscopic channels, or holes, within your skin, which stimulates collagen production. In this specific combination procedure, radiofrequency waves are also emitted into the channels, boosting the results even further. RF therapy uses low energy radiation to heat the deep layer of your skin called the dermis. This heat stimulates the production of collagen to help improve signs of wrinkles and sagging skin. Research has found that RF therapy is safe and can be effective at treating mild or moderate signs of aging,

Skinpen microneedling

March 1, 2024
Microneedling is used to treat a variety of skin conditions that cause depressions in the skin such as acne scarring, surgical scars, other scars, burns, enlarged pores, wrinkles (rhytides), and stretch marks (striae). Because microneedling does not deliver heat to the skin like lasers do, people who have melasma (dark patches of skin) and hyperpigmentation (dark spots on the skin) can undergo microneedling without the risk of worsening pigmentation problems. (Darker skin is susceptible to pigmentation changes as a post-inflammatory response.)
