At faceIQ medspa, we understand how acne scars can affect your confidence and overall skin health. Our comprehensive acne scar treatment options are designed to restore smoother, more even skin texture while stimulating your body’s natural healing processes. Using advanced, results-driven technologies like CO2 skin resurfacing, microneedling, manual subcision with PRF, and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), we target all types of acne scars to reveal clearer, more radiant skin.
Our Advanced Acne Scar Treatment Modalities
CO2 Skin Resurfacing for Acne Scars
CO2 laser skin resurfacing is one of the most effective treatments for deep acne scars. The laser precisely removes the damaged outer layers of skin while promoting collagen production deep within the skin’s layers. This process stimulates new skin cell growth, reducing the appearance of acne scars and improving overall skin tone and texture.
- How it Works: CO2 laser vaporizes damaged skin tissue, encouraging the formation of new, healthy skin. The controlled injury stimulates collagen production, which fills in and smooths out depressed scars over time.
- Ideal For: Deep atrophic scars, including ice pick and boxcar scars.
- Results: Dramatic improvement in the appearance of scars, with smoother, tighter, and more even skin texture.
Microneedling for Acne Scars
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the skin’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production. Microneedling is highly effective for reducing the appearance of shallow to moderate acne scars and can be combined with other modalities for enhanced results.
- How it Works: By creating tiny channels in the skin, microneedling triggers the production of new collagen, which fills in and smooths acne scars over time.
- Ideal For: Rolling scars, boxcar scars, and improving overall skin texture.
- Results: Improved skin texture, reduced scar depth, and a more even complexion.
Manual Subcision with PRF
Manual subcision is an advanced technique used to treat depressed acne scars, such as rolling scars. During the procedure, a small needle is inserted beneath the skin to break up the fibrous bands that pull the skin down, creating the scar. Once these bands are released, the skin rises, and the appearance of the scar is reduced. To enhance healing and collagen production, Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is injected into the treatment area after subcision, stimulating natural tissue regeneration and speeding up recovery.
- How it Works: The subcision needle breaks the fibrous tissue tethering the scar down, and PRF is injected to promote healing and collagen production.
- Ideal For: Rolling scars and deeper indented scars.
- Results: Smoother skin, reduced scar depth, and enhanced collagen formation for long-lasting improvement.
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) for Skin Regeneration
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a natural treatment that uses your body’s own blood to promote healing and skin regeneration. When combined with microneedling, subcision, or used after CO2 resurfacing, PRF enhances the skin’s healing process and accelerates collagen production. PRF is packed with growth factors and stem cells that support tissue repair, making it an ideal addition to acne scar treatments.
- How it Works: PRF is drawn from your blood, processed to concentrate platelets, and then applied to the skin or injected into the treatment area to boost collagen production and accelerate skin healing.
- Ideal For: All types of acne scars, especially when used in combination with microneedling, subcision, or CO2 resurfacing.
- Results: Faster healing, enhanced skin rejuvenation, and improved scar reduction.

CO2 laser resurfacing usually requires 5-7 days of downtime, while manual subcision may result in mild swelling or bruising that typically resolves within a week.
Both treatments are generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort. A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to ensure comfort during treatment.
Yes, PRF can be combined with microneedling, subcision, or applied after CO2 resurfacing to enhance the healing process and improve overall results.
Results vary depending on the treatment modality, but most patients see noticeable improvements after the first treatment, with continued improvements as collagen production increases over the following months.
