Acne Scar Treatment in Southlake, TX

Acne scars often develop in individuals who have or had severe acne at some point in their lives. These blemishes can then lead to a dented or irregular appearance, even as the presence of acne diminishes. There are many factors that can cause someone to be more prone to developing these irregularities, such as genetics, lack of acne treatment, and picking or touching the blemishes. Unlike acne itself, acne scars are unlikely to go away on their own without treatment. At Integrative Pain and Wellness Center, our skilled team treats areas of skin damage (like acne scars) with advanced technology and skin resurfacing techniques using the Accent Prime. If you have acne scars and are curious about your options for treatment, contact our office in Southlake, TX, and schedule an appointment with Dr. Matthew Barker, Dr. Melanie Gray, or one of our aesthetic specialists.

• Smoother skin

If you have acne scars that get in the way of your confidence and comfort, you could be a wonderful candidate for acne scar treatment with the highly advanced Accent Prime to resurface the skin and create a smoother, more even skin texture. However, men and women with active acne flare-ups or certain skin conditions may not qualify to receive this treatment. To find out if acne scar treatment is the ideal procedure to enhance and improve your complexion, schedule a consultation at our Southlake, TX office.

At our premier facility in Southlake, TX, our skilled aesthetic team will perform a comprehensive analysis of your skin before creating your personalized acne scar treatment plan. Before your session, we must ensure that your skin is free of breakouts and flare-ups; this is to prevent any possible infections and to make sure that your results are comprehensive and stunning. Once your skin has been assessed, we will design your acne scar treatment plan with the Accent Prime. This innovative device, Pixel RF, will resurface the skin and reveal a smoother, softer complexion. Depending on the depth of your scars and unique goals, you may require more than one treatment. For best results, we recommend 3-5 treatments. 

After an acne scar treatment with the Pixel RF system, patients may experience mild redness and/or tenderness for up to 72 hours afterward. There is no downtime; however, we may recommend avoiding direct sun exposure and wearing sunscreen to protect your skin during this time as it will be sensitive. Over the next 3 – 4 weeks, you should begin to see noticeable improvements in your skin's appearance. These results should continue to improve as new collagen and elastin growth increases with optimal results usually achieved in about 3 – 4 months.

Can acne scars go away on their own?
Without proper treatment, acne scars are unlikely to dissipate on their own. Thankfully, with advanced laser treatment at Integrative Pain and Wellness Center, our team can curate an appropriate treatment plan to help diminish the appearance of acne scars. With effective treatments, your skin can appear smoother and more even.

How many acne scar treatments will I need?
Typically, patients will need a series of laser treatments for optimal results. In most cases, 3 – 5 procedures is the ideal amount for acne scar treatments. However, more treatments can be administered for more severe cases.

Will my acne scars go away permanently after treatment?
With proper treatment and aftercare techniques, your acne scars can diminish and not return. However, if you continue to experience acne, future scars can still develop. It is ideal to get any active acne under control before undergoing laser treatments for acne scarring.

Are all acne scars treated the same way?
No, the treatment approach depends on the type of acne scars you have. For example, depressed scars like ice pick or boxcar scars may respond well to microneedling or lasers, while raised scars might require other specialized techniques. Your provider will customize the treatment based on the scar type, depth, and location. Combining methods may also be suggested to target different scar types effectively.

How long does it take to see improvements from acne scar treatment?
The timeline for seeing results varies depending on the type of treatment and the severity of your scars. Some people notice subtle changes within a few weeks, while more significant improvements can take several months. This is because many treatments stimulate collagen production, which takes time to rebuild and smooth the skin.

Can acne scar treatment prevent future acne breakouts?
While acne scar treatments focus on improving the appearance of existing scars, they don't typically address the root causes of acne. However, combining scar treatments with acne management strategies — such as skin care routines or medications — can help you achieve smoother skin while reducing future breakouts. Our team can recommend products or treatments to complement scar reduction and support your overall skin health.
