How to Get Rid of Acne Scars
(and Reveal Smooth, Clear Skin)

You finally got your acne under control — but now you’re left with scars, uneven texture, or dark spots that won’t fade. You’re not alone. Acne scarring affects confidence long after breakouts stop, and many patients tell us it’s the number-one reason they still feel uncomfortable without makeup.

At Roberts Aesthetics + Wellness, we help patients restore smooth, radiant skin using science-backed treatments that actually work — no filters, no harsh resurfacing, and no guesswork.

Why Acne Scars Form

Acne scars develop when inflammation damages the deeper layers of your skin during healing. The body tries to repair itself, but sometimes produces too little collagen (causing depressions or “pits”) or too much (resulting in raised scars).

There are several types of acne scars, including:

  • Ice pick scars: deep, narrow indentations
  • Boxcar scars: broad depressions with sharp edges
  • Rolling scars: shallow, wavy texture
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH): dark marks left behind after healing

Different scars require different treatments — which is why customized care is key to achieving a smoother complexion.

Proven Treatments for Acne Scars

SkinPen Microneedling

View SkinPen eBook →

SkinPen® microneedling is a collagen induction therapy that helps resurface skin from the inside out. It creates micro-channels in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing process and collagen production. Over time, this softens scars, refines texture, and improves overall tone.

Best for: mild to moderate acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin
Downtime: minimal; mild redness for 24 hours
Results: gradual improvement after a series of 3–6 sessions

RF Microneedling

For deeper or more resistant scarring, RF Microneedling adds radiofrequency energy to standard microneedling to heat the lower layers of skin, tightening and remodeling collagen at a deeper level.

It’s especially effective for textural scarring and skin laxity that sometimes occurs after years of breakouts.

Best for: moderate to severe scars or uneven skin texture
Downtime: 1–2 days of mild redness or swelling
Results: progressive smoothing with each session

Fountain of Youth Laser

For patients ready to dramatically resurface their skin, our Fountain of Youth Laser combines RF Microneedling, Fractional CO₂ Laser, and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) for total skin renewal. This advanced trio targets textural scarring, pigmentation, and collagen loss in one synergistic treatment sequence.

Best for: advanced acne scarring and sun damage
Downtime: 3–7 days depending on intensity
Results: smoother, firmer, and more even skin tone with long-lasting collagen remodeling

VI Peel Precision Plus

Chemical peels accelerate skin cell turnover, fade discoloration, and brighten uneven tone. The VI Peel Precision Plus targets both pigment and texture, helping reduce the appearance of red or brown acne marks while improving overall skin clarity.

Best for: acne scarring with pigment or discoloration
Downtime: 3–5 days of mild peeling
Results: more even, radiant tone within a week

ZO® Fundamental 5 and Retinol: The Foundation for Clear, Healthy Skin

View ZO Skin Health eBook →

Even the most effective acne scar treatments need consistent at-home support to maintain and enhance results. That’s where ZO® Skin Health comes in.

Most patients begin with the ZO® Fundamental 5 — a proven daily system designed to restore balance, strengthen the skin barrier, and promote long-term clarity. This includes:

  • Cleanse – removes excess oil and debris without stripping the skin
  • Exfoliate – polishes away dead cells for a smoother, brighter surface
  • Tone – balances pH and refines pores
  • Daily Power Defense – strengthens skin and repairs damage from environmental stress
  • SPF – protects from UV exposure that can worsen pigmentation and scarring

Once the skin is stable, we often introduce ZO® retinols to accelerate cellular renewal and collagen stimulation — essential steps for improving texture and reducing post-acne marks. Retinol not only helps fade scars faster but also prevents new breakouts and fine lines from forming.

At Roberts Aesthetics + Wellness, we customize every ZO® regimen to fit your skin type, tolerance, and long-term goals — ensuring your results stay consistent, smooth, and healthy.

The Roberts Approach

No two scars — or patients — are the same. That’s why we take a personalized, evidence-based approach to every acne scar plan. Our providers evaluate the type, depth, and pattern of your scars, then design a step-by-step roadmap combining the most effective technologies for your skin’s needs.

Most patients see their best results with a layered approach — for example, alternating SkinPen with VI Peels, or pairing RF Microneedling or the Fountain of Youth Laser with ZO® skincare for maintenance.
