Acne Scars Treatment in Cleveland

Conveniently located to serve Cleveland, Beachwood, Lake County, Westlake

If you’ve been struggling with acne scars, The Parker Clinic in Cleveland offers treatments designed to help you achieve smoother, clearer skin. Acne scars can be frustrating, but the right care can reduce their appearance, improving your confidence and skin health.

What Are Acne Scars?

Acne scars result from inflammation caused by clogged pores, bacteria, and oil buildup. When your body tries to repair this damage, it can leave behind irregularities in the skin’s texture and tone. These scars can be long-lasting and vary in severity.

Types of Acne Scars

Acne scars fall into one of several categories:

• Atrophic scars: Depressions or indentations in the skin, such as ice pick or boxcar scars.
• Hypertrophic scars: Raised areas of skin where excess tissue has formed.
• Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH): Dark spots that remain after acne has healed.

If you have any of these and desire acne scar revision, The Parker Skin and Aesthetic Clinic can help you restore a smoother skin surface.

Ideal Candidates for Acne Scar Treatments

The best candidates for acne scar removal treatments at The Parker Clinic are individuals with mild to severe acne scars who are in overall good health. These treatments are suitable for various skin types and tones. Our team will create a personalized plan to suit your unique needs.

Treatment Options at The Parker Clinic

Fade your red marks with the VBeam laser and smooth, shallow texture irregularities with skin peels. For deeper scars, consider Fraxel laser resurfacing. Here are some of the most effective options available at The Parker Skin and Aesthetic Clinic:

Vbeam

Vbeam is a laser acne scar treatment that targets redness and reduces the appearance of scars by promoting collagen production. It’s especially effective for vascular acne scars or those with lingering redness.

Chemical Peels

Our chemical peel for acne scars exfoliates the outer layers of skin, promoting fresh skin growth and helping with skin resurfacing. It is helpful for surface-level scars and hyperpigmentation.

Dermaplaning Micropeel

The dermaplaning micropeel is a combination treatment that gently removes dead skin cells and fine hairs, followed by a light peel to rejuvenate the skin. This treatment is excellent for improving skin texture and reducing fine acne scars.

TCA Peel

Our TCA Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that addresses more severe acne scars. It penetrates deeper into the skin to stimulate collagen production and reduce the appearance of deeper scars.

Fraxel Laser Resurfacing Re:pair

The Fraxel Re:pair treatment is a more aggressive laser resurfacing option for deeper acne scars. It uses fractional laser technology to stimulate new skin growth and minimize the visibility of scars.

Fraxel Laser Resurfacing Re:store

Fraxel Re:store offers a milder approach for a less invasive treatment that works well on surface-level acne scars. This laser treatment resurfaces the outer skin layers while promoting new collagen formation.

Microneedling

Microneedling involves using tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries, encouraging the skin to repair itself. This technique is highly effective for reducing the appearance of acne scars by boosting collagen production and enhancing skin texture.

What to Expect During Your Acne Scar Treatment

Acne scar treatments at The Parker Clinic are designed to be comfortable and minimally invasive. Depending on the treatment, you may experience mild discomfort, but most procedures are performed with topical numbing agents. Each session can last between 30 minutes to an hour, and your provider will guide you through each step.

What to Expect After Your Acne Scar Treatment

Recovery time depends on the treatment you choose. For laser acne scar treatments like Fraxel, some redness and swelling may occur for a few days. Chemical peels and microneedling for acne scars result in some peeling and mild irritation as the skin heals. Our team will provide personalized aftercare instructions to promote healing and glowing results.

Benefits of Acne Scar Treatments

• Smoother skin texture – Acne scar treatments promote the regeneration of healthy skin cells, reducing rough patches and unevenness. This results in a smoother, more refined skin surface that feels soft.
• Reduction in the appearance of scars – Targeted treatments like lasers and chemical peels stimulate collagen production, which helps to fill in and smooth out acne scars. Over time, these procedures reduce the visibility of scars, giving your skin a more uniform appearance.
• Improved skin tone – By addressing the skin’s texture and pigmentation, treatments like Vbeam and chemical peels help reduce discoloration from acne scars. This evens out your overall skin tone, making your complexion look healthier and more radiant.
• Increased confidence – As your skin’s appearance improves, you may feel more confident in your day-to-day interactions. Clearer, smoother skin often leads to greater self-esteem, allowing you to feel more comfortable in your own skin.
• Long-lasting results – The effects of many acne scar treatments are long-lasting, especially with continued skin care maintenance. Once the skin has healed and regenerated, you can enjoy the benefits of smoother, clearer skin for years.

Acne Scar Treatment Cost
