Smoothing the Scars: Effective Solutions for Pitted Acne Marks
You’ve fought the breakouts—but now you’re left with the lasting reminder: pitted acne scars. These deep, textured marks can be frustrating and hard to cover, often lingering long after your acne is gone. At Core Aesthetic, we understand how much these scars can impact your confidence—and we’re here with solutions that go beyond skincare to truly rebuild and restore your skin.
What Are Pitted Acne Scars?
Also known as atrophic acne scars, pitted scars form when severe acne causes damage to the deeper layers of skin, leading to collagen loss and indentations. There are a few types:
Ice pick scars – deep, narrow indentations
Boxcar scars – broad, defined edges
Rolling scars – wave-like, shallow depressions
These scars can make your skin appear uneven and textured, especially in certain lighting. Unfortunately, creams alone aren’t enough to fix them—but that’s where we come in.
How Core Aesthetic Treats Pitted Acne Scars
At Core Aesthetic, we believe that acne scar treatment should be customized and comprehensive, targeting both the surface and deeper layers of your skin to stimulate collagen, improve texture, and restore smoothness. Here’s how we do it:
Microneedling with CosmoPen
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering your body’s healing response and stimulating collagen. Over time, this helps fill in indented scars, improve texture, and create a smoother complexion.
Customized Serums or Growth Factors
During microneedling, we pair the treatment with skin-rebuilding serums like peptides, or vitamin-rich boosters that enhance results and speed healing.
Chemical Peels (like VI Peel)
Our VI Peel Advanced or Precision Plus can help fade post-acne discoloration and resurface the skin. Regular peels stimulate cell turnover and improve overall tone and texture, especially when paired with other treatments.
RHA or Dermal Filler for Deep Scars
For more pronounced pitting, we may recommend injectable filler (like RHA®) to lift and fill deeper scars. It offers instant smoothing and helps restore volume lost in the damaged areas.
Custom Homecare + Prescription Support
We’ll recommend a medical-grade skincare regimen and, if needed, provide custom prescriptions through our in-house pharmacy to support your skin’s healing and prevent future breakouts that could lead to more scarring.
