What We Treat
Acne Scarring
Acne Scar Treatment in Miami
Acne is one of the most common skin conditions in the world, affecting millions of adults and teenagers each year. The scars that these blemishes leave behind can become an unwanted reminder of past skin issues. At Simple Aesthetics, we understand how acne scars can impact your self-esteem and offer treatments to help you regain a smoother, clearer complexion.
What Is Acne Scarring?
Acne scars can develop when the skin is damaged after a breakout. Scarring is more likely to occur with deep or inflamed pimples — picking at blemishes can also result in scarring. Acne scars typically fall into two categories: hypertrophic scars, which are raised due to an overgrowth of tissue, and atrophic scars, which leave behind visible indentations in the skin.
Hypertrophic Acne Scars
Hypertrophic acne scars are raised lesions (often red in color) that appear in areas where blemishes have occurred. This type of scarring is less common than other types and harder to treat — lasers have shown some promise, but corticosteroid injections are considered a first-line therapy for hypertrophic scarring, helping to soften and flatten the scar tissue.
Atrophic Acne Scars
Atrophic acne scars affect the majority of patients (85%) bothered by post-acne scarring. These types of scars are caused by a net loss of collagen following an injury and give the skin a wavy, textured or uneven appearance. Some of the most common atrophic acne scars include:
- Icepick scars: Deep and narrow scars that extend into the dermis.
- Rolling scars: Broad depressions with a sloping edge, creating a wavy appearance.
- Boxcar scars: Wider indentations that look similar to chickenpox scars.
Acne Scar Treatment Options
at Simple Aesthetics
At Simple Aesthetics, we offer advanced treatment options to help address various types of atrophic acne scars, tailoring our approach to match the unique needs of your skin.
Microneedling
Microneedling is a popular treatment for softening the appearance of atrophic acne scars. It involves using a device equipped with very small needles to create controlled microinjuries in the top layer of the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing process. Over time, this increases collagen and elastin production, filling in unwanted scars and improving the overall health, texture and appearance of your skin. Most patients undergo a series of three to six treatments to achieve the best results.
Morpheus8 — RF Microneedling
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy for an even more effective treatment. As the tiny needles puncture the skin, the RF energy heats the underlying layers to provide a tightening effect while further increasing collagen production. Morpheus8 is particularly effective for severe acne scarring and can provide dramatic improvements after three to five sessions.
The Choice Is Simple.
