Targeted Back Acne Scar Removal Options
If you’re dealing with active back acne, we’ll focus on clearing it first before starting scar treatment. Treating live cystic acne prevents bacteria from spreading and reduces the risk of new scars. Once healed, we then focus on back acne scar removal. Our bacne scar treatments include:
Nordlys Ellipse Frax 1550 Laser
The Nordlys Ellipse Frax 1550 laser is a powerful option for back acne laser treatment, designed to improve mild to moderate scars like boxcar, rolling, and icepick scars. It helps smooth rough skin and boost collagen.
Selective Waveband (SWT®) IPL
Our advanced IPL system works to improve skin tone and reduce the appearance of red and brown hyperpigmented back acne scars by targeting both red and brown pigments to produce a more even tone to discolored skin.
Subcision Scar Revision
Subcision scar revision is a minimally invasive back acne scar treatment that targets pitted scars beneath the skin. A special needle is used to break up the scar tissue, pulling the skin down, helping to smooth and lift depressed areas for a more even surface.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy uses growth factors from your own blood to stimulate collagen production. Often paired with microneedling, this back acne scar treatment helps fade scars and improve skin texture by encouraging natural healing.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers work by replacing lost volume in the skin, which is often needed for deep acne scars. As part of a bacne scar treatment, fillers are especially effective after subcision to further smooth out indentations and create a more refined texture.
Chemical Peels
Chemical skin peels have been the gold standard for a variety of acne scars for many decades. Peels are very useful for resurfacing both the top and deeper layers of skin to minimize both pitted and hyperpigmented acne scars.
