Smooth Post-Acne Scarring & Texture
Acne scar treatment in Lancaster begins once active breakouts are under control. Post-acne scarring, marks, and uneven texture can linger, and resurfacing treatments help refine the skin's surface for a smoother, more even look. If you're still managing active acne, our physician-directed Acne Management program is the place to start.
Acne scarring takes different forms (pitted scars, broad depressions, and rough texture) often alongside lingering discoloration. The right approach depends on your scar type and skin, which your provider evaluates during a consultation.
We generally focus on calming active acne first (through our Acne Management program) to help prevent new scarring, then turn to resurfacing options for texture and scars when the time is right.
