How to Treat Acne Scars

There are multiple approaches you can take to reduce the appearance of acne scars. We typically provide patients with both at-home and in-office options, which can be used together for maximum results.

Prescription retinoids like tretinoin cream are the first line of treatment to both stimulate healing of old scars, and to prevent the formation of new scarring by minimizing acne cysts.

Products like Alastin A-Luminate or Skin Medicinals brightening cream can be used at home to reduce discoloration.

Gentle chemical peels can help re-surface and remodel the skin to improve both the color and texture of scars.
